as I type this.

The tin-pot despot who runs that place wants to go for a ride. I think he's a moron for doing so, but I'm biased. But how cool would it be if he did and the jet developed a problem prompting the crew to eject leaving him in the jumpseat pondering his navel for a 30 seconds until he was consumed in the fiery crash?

I can dream can't I?

Chavez amuses me, he'd send out an invite to NAMBLA if he thought it'd increase his standings in the "Hate America" crowd.

The danged things are a third longer than a Bone, have ten times the radar cross-section, suck gas like an old sucking thing, and don't have half the payload capacity. But other than that, yeah, a fine aerospace vehicle.:rolleyes:

This **** is on a need to know basis, and right now son, you don't need to know ****! ;)

big deal Chavez "invites" the Rooskies to play their little maneuvers with them. I'm sure Columbia isn't thrilled with it, and since they are our friends for now, we're not thrilled with it either. Either this guy is really THAT naive, or he needs to have a talk with old Muammar al-Gaddafi.

Well, they had to get them somewhere the Georgians can't shoot their bombers out of the sky.

I never said they WERE better, I just said they LOOKED better... :D

Besides, it's not the bird, it's the ordinance... and the Russkies don't have half the capability the Bone has, be it nuclear or (especially) conventional.

Those things are a cheap B-1 rip off...just like every other Russian plane. The B-1 is my favorite bird in the USAF...I am very jealous of you Homey! I want a ride on one of those beasts!!
