71 T-45 ostali u oluji
71 of the Navy's T-45 trainer jets could not evacuate storm
Citat:Scores of the Navy’s T-45 trainer jets were unable to evacuate Naval Air Station Kingsville and remain directly in the path of what is projected to be the worst hurricane to hit South Texas in decades.
On Thursday, NAS Kingsville, which houses 99 of the Navy’s 197 T-45 primary jet trainers, evacuated all airworthy aircraft ― if there was also a qualified pilot to fly.
But only 28 of Kingsville’s T-45s were determined to be airworthy, or to have a qualified pilot available, in order to evacuate the jets to Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, said spokesman Kevin Clarke.
The remaining 71 aircraft were put in hangars on base, Clarke said. There they will ride out Harvey’s 90 mph or more winds, any remnants from the anticipated 12-foot storm surge and potentially 35 inches of rain. The storm is expected to make landfall late Friday or early Saturday as a category 3 hurricane.
Kingsville, unlike nearby Navy flight training base NAS Corpus Christi, is located about 30 miles inland. That distance should give Kingsville’s aircraft and hangars better protection against any storm surge, Clarke said.

Zanimljiv DARPA projekat nosaca za rakete koji bi mogao da se lansira i sam leti kao BPL do 20 minuta sa brzinom do 0.9 maha i onda lansira rakete.

Citat:The FMR is to be carried on hardpoints certified for 2,000lb weapons. DARPA is looking at mounting it on the F-16 and F/A-18.

The objective is to churn out 500 such rails in a month. The research agency is not mandating any manufacturing process.

The Military’s Leadership Problem
http://www.defense-aerospace.com/articles-view/fea.....-door.html
Citat:National security journalist Thomas Ricks wrote about this in his book, The Generals. He described how most senior officers today aspire to be viewed as “good guys.” Andrew Bacevich, a retired Army colonel and historian, described the type this way:

“The good guy projects the right attitude, strikes the right pose, and recites all the right clichés. Good guys are team players. They don’t rock the boat. They get ahead by going along. In practical terms, demonstrated adherence to orthodoxy becomes the premier qualification for admission. Heretics need not apply.”
Novinar napisao knjigu; Generali.
Traže se; dobri momci, sa pravim odnosom, pravom pozom, i recitiraju prave klišeje, podpora pravim stvarima je primer prave kvalifikacije. Heretici ne treba ni da stave prijave.

Penzija
Citat:A four-star general who retires after 30 years receives a pension of more than $250,000 a year (sometimes earning more than while they were on active duty). They also receive generous health care benefits through TRICARE, and base privileges that allow them to shop tax-free in the commissaries and base exchanges.

General sa 4 zvezdice posle 30 godina službe, $250,000 na godinu, zdravstveno osiguranje i tax free trgovine.

Ali milioni dolara ako te zaposli firma.
I onda ovi projekti F-35, novi nosači...
I takvi posle aktivne službe ćekaju

Sada jim fali više od 1500 pilota.

Nekima stare krntije, a nekima posao za miljune dolara kod privatnih firmi posle penzije...
