@dewoitine : this actually belongs in the Ickies newshawks board. I'm going to have to move it.

Does this mean it will be late, over budget and will burst into flames at the least provocation?

At least it won't have to dock/mate with another structure so it should be OK there!

What about doors blowing out at FL300?

 

[Tako_Kichi]

Thankfully there are not many doors on a fighter, the canopy might pop off if the pilot sneezes though!

We shall see how this works out for the USAF, but Boeing is currently a company with serious problems.

Whistle Blowers? They don't have whistle blowers ..... anymore.

Look past track record doesn't indicate future performance....




Oh I made myself laugh so hard on that one.

On a serious side. Whistle blowers, where there is smoke there is fire. 2 dead of natural causes after turning the company in. Right, this is one place that the conspiracy theory should apply.
