« Last post by Busher on Yesterday at 04:50:39 PM »Concord kad a lot to do with it. Boeing spent a lot of money back then convincing congress the concord sonic boom would be bad. That is, bad for Boeing.
Hate to disagree but the Concorde burned almost twice as much fuel as a B747 and carried far less than half the number of passengers. Considering that supersonic flight over the continent was never going to be allowed, the airplane, while amazing technology, was a novelty that Boeing saw as a waste of research dollars.

As for second example, you're absolutelly right. This is because US government is a best government that corporate money can buy. It stopped working for people long time ago, it works for companies and lobbists. First ammendment, company = human stuff.... that ship has sailed long time ago. And billionaire owners of those companies ain't about to fix it.
When considering Corporate integrity, I will start with the Ford Pinto and the DC-10. OF course, no criminal charges were filed. Care to add to the list?

Way to step up.
I'm not part of the CM team nor wish to be. But I can't stop myself from suggesting that squads be reassigned frame by frame. Is that a bad thing?

Actually, the most successful people I know, and they're very successful, are quite honest.
And government regulation, like government controlled education, has proven to be an expensive and massive failure for the most part, especially concerning food.

« Last post by hazmatt on Yesterday at 01:38:38 PM »Oh boy. I think I need to go back to trainer planes.
I also recently got a Sea Harrier FRS and have had no success with it at all. Mig 21s and Mig 23s have been kicking my butt. I don't have much luck evading multiple R‑60Ms. I got sniped by a R‑24R from a Mig 23 that must have been close to 40km away. We were fighting over desert terrain so there wasn't much cover and since I just got the plane I hadn't had been able to research the chaff pods because I haven't been able to get any kills in it. Sometimes I think this missile slinging thing isn't for me.
