And to think that with just one years military budget the US could solve the hunger problem for good.  :rolleyes:

Some would think this would create more stability globally than any military can.

They're just helping it out.  Those Airforce pilots get kinda nervous anytime they're under 20,000 feet.

Not feed for one year, solve it. An irrigation system to cover half Sahara desert for example.. peanuts compared to military budget.

That F-111 might be in the weeds, but it doesnt belong to the USAF.
Great pic though.

Many were upset when the USAF decided to mothball the F-111s. When it comes to getting down in the dirt though 50ft at 500kts was hard to beat. However, two were lost at Cannon AFB when I was there in the late 70's so maybe canning 'em was a smart thing to do.
