No REAL blog today - I'm off selling Bookmarks and preparing my 30 minute speech for the award thingy I'm receiving today from the Community Development Authoritarians led by Minty Fresh.

HOWEVER - you you guys out there check this out.

The brand new FA-22 has come on line, would this NOT be a sweet ride? BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE (as you knew there would be). Make sure you read the last paragraph about this fighter.

Langley is to be first Operational AFB for the FA-22.

In Actual In-flight (simulated)Combat Operations against the F-15, two FA-22s were able to operate without detection while they went Head to Head against (8) F-15s. The
FA-22s scored Missile Hits (Kills)against all the F-15 Aircraft and the F/A-22s were never Detected by either the F-15s or Ground Based Radar. Maj. Gen. Rick Lewis said:
'The Raptor Operated Against All Adversaries with Virtual Impunity; Ground Based Systems Couldn't Engage and NO Adversary Aircraft Survived'!

FA-22 --- America 'S Most Advanced Fighter Aircraft for the 21st Century! (and kicks tail against anything in the 19th Century) They're a titanium and carbon fiber dagger. They're so advanced that if their on-board locator is switched off even our own satellites can lose track of them. They're the first military aircraft ever built that is equipped with a 'black-out button'.

What that means is this: The best conditioned fighter pilots are capable of maintaining consciousness up to in the vicinity of 15+ G. The Raptor is capable of making 22+ G turns. If someday an adversary builds a missile that is capable of catching up to one of these airplanes and a Raptor pilot sees that a strike is imminent, he hits the 'B.O.B.' and the airplane makes a virtual U-turn, leaving the missile to pass right on by.

They know that in the process he'll temporarily lose consciousness, so the Raptor then automatically comes back to straight and level flight until he wakes back up.
===============================
Seeing how at times, I "temporarily lose consciousness" I'm trying to get one of those buttons installed on my desk at work. I press the button and the keyboard continues to enter random words on the screen until I wake up.
=====================

Gotta get ready - I have to make get my bedroom hair looking perfect (like on the Oscars - it's how it's done nowadays).

Weather Pixie is in LA for a day or so waiting for a plane trip to Hawaii. She's been doing a little shopping and so forth - meeting friends and relaxing. Nothing real exciting YET. She hopes the weather is nice in Columbus - it's real muggy in CA.
