US Cancels Brazil Prop Plane A-29 Order

I can only guess the descision to cancel this 20 plane purchase, is because; If we give these to Afghan piolts, they will only use them to strafe US troops on the ground...

Hey US, Get Out Of Okinawa

The Air Base stands out a bit??

If Okinawa wants the US out, and the base is really not that important, lets get the hell out. Don't relocate on the island. Guam is not so far away.

The pisser is, the economy there (built up around the Air base) will implode. They will get what they ask for.

WTF US Airforce???

I have "lost stuff" in my time, but soldier's body parts?  At Dover, on US soil?  I see some dishonorable discharges coming, and whatever "civilian" contractors are involved need to be removed.

Yet Another Falcon Virgo Excercise Tonight...

No, it's not like YOGA!

I happen to be right in the flight path for these, so I expect to get very little sleep tonight. Maybe I will set the radio to a Heavy Metal station in hopes of drowning out the jets??

Oh wait, that music would keep me up too. Damn...
