[QUOTE=OvB;16159957][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w4VlPbg18DE&feature=related[/media] their already in full service. Heres one in Iraq. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re2NfSZzYig&feature=related[/media][/QUOTE] V-22 is actually looking pretty great for SOCOM. Air Force is using them for deep, fast insertion of Combat Controllers and Pararescuemen, and the Corps is using them to deploy expeditionary units, FORECON, MARSOC, all that. They're very specialized.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;16160281]the X-47 is a lot like the Dassault nEUROn (big image) [media]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Dassault_neuron_uav.JPG[/media][/QUOTE] Dassault neuron looks alot like Boeing X-45... [img]http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/7055/airshowfandotcombyberna.jpg[/img] X-47 was made by Northrop Grumman. Boeing, Dassault and possibly Northrop are most likely working together for the common goal. Or Boeing is just working with Dassault. Just looked into it, Dassault is developing the nERUOn on it's own. # 2003: Northrop-Grumman X-47B Pegasus # 2004: BAE Corax [B]# 2006: Lockheed Martin Polecat[/B] [I]Holy shit, looks like an unmanned B2[/I] # 2006: EADS Barracuda # 2007: Boeing X-45 # 2007: BAE Taranis Actually all of those planes look similar to each other too. I guess it's just the best design for the job...
Spoiled fucking kids....
[QUOTE=OvB;16159957]That's a global hawk, not a predator. [/QUOTE] So it is. That nose end done fooled me good, looked similar to the Predator's. Well, it's only my career, why should I be well-versed on it? :P I don't know exactly what I'll be flying yet. I'm a 15W, so I could be flying any number of UAVs. I'm praying for the Predator, but I won't know until near the end of AIT, prolly.

[QUOTE=Gurant;16153065]He's cool because he has played more Air Sims than you have [editline]10:56AM[/editline] And his grandfather flew in Nam[/QUOTE] sarcasm right? sometimes i take you guys seriously when you say stuff like that
[QUOTE=TropicalV2;16158685]You hittin' that or what, op?[/QUOTE] Yeah I'm hittin' it :v: Well, trying.
[QUOTE=arimi;16161229]sarcasm right? sometimes i take you guys seriously when you say stuff like that[/QUOTE] I guessed what his elitism was based on
[QUOTE=Gurant;16161411]I guessed what his elitism was based on[/QUOTE] His eliteism was wrong, which is what makes it so funny. Just realised I put the order of people on the sqn photo wrong, its from left to right not right to left.
I went to farnborough airshow. Oh and guess what, I live under a route for and Airshow somewhere I don't know about, I've seen red arrows, tank busters , Chinooks (some carrying things) and other sorts.
Very nice!!!
[QUOTE=B-hazard;16161327]Yeah I'm hittin' it :v: Well, trying.[/QUOTE] Right on, brotha.
