Breaking News- By: grahamcstrouse February 22, 2012@Chuck Hill One quick and dirty possibility (and let's be honest, Mike would appreciate that sort of approach) would be to set up a moderated group on facebook. It's a little crude, yeah, but there are some potential advantages. We could cover more ground. We wouldn't have to dig up somebody with web design skill & with 4 or 5 or 6 moderat […]
- By: Chuck Hill February 16, 2012grahamcstrouse, I know what you mean. I still come here occasionally because there are still a few interesting posts. (Particularly Thank you Scott B.) I write for CGBlog.org, but the focus there is narrow, being Coast Guard centric. I do virtually all the writing, but other people started it. I would not have a clue how to start from scratch. I commonly che […]
- By: grahamcstrouse February 12, 2012Gentlemen, this is a bit off-point, I suppose, but I miss New Wars. Civilized and intelligent discussion on crucial matters is such an Internet rarity. Do y'all suppose it's possible we might revive the forum in some way? Not as a stump, but as a branch. It's just a thought, I guess. It's just that their is so little informed discourse on […]

Wow – this really demonstrated the extent to which FAA has been gutted.
- Not much in the way of operational fixed-wing assets left. The Harriers Gr7s are operated jointly with the RAF – nowhere near the air-to-air capability of the Sea Harriers. All other types are all used for training or exercise support!
- FAA doesn’t even possess it’s own fixed-wing ASW aircraft. It has to rely on its Merlins (great bird, but as with any helo has very short legs) and RAF Nimrods (aging and overdue for replacement).
Quite a sad state of affairs for a once proud force. Hope they can hold out until F-35 comes along.
Yay for the FAA !
