Seriously? Ugh, that's too bad about the Reds (and all the rest.) We live in a risk-averse world!

 

Senior military officials in the UK suggest that risk adversity is really starting to impact the psychology of troops and the implementation of robust combat training, which is so sad when Who Dares Wins mentality got us where we are. :(

Guys, lets not forget that its been an absolutely awful month for crashes, both military and civilian demonstrator teams. I think toning it back a bit for a few weeks or months so everyone can take stock is in no way out of line.

Despite the frequency for Class A mishaps this year, the mishap rate is still lower at this time this year than it was at the same time last year, at least for the US Naval Services

In the past month, we've had the crash of a Thunder Bird, a Blue Angel, a Black Knight and a member of the Swiss Patrouille Suisse team. This isn't just military accidents it's the highly trained acrobatic teams. 4 different military acrobatic teams in a month. I don't care if the yearly average is lower at this point, the frequency is alarmingly high for so short a period. A cooling off period is in order.

Do we have any validation on the claims the RA's are not flying the full display at RIAT? I can understand Farnborough as it's a civilian airport, and I've read the press release, but Fairford is an RAF airbase in MAA airspace.

To whom it may concern,

I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that.

Thank you for you patience.

 

 

Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Actually, I was referring of course, to the F35B not the F35 which has been flying for considerably longer and does not have the incredible Royals Royce Lift System which is the Holy Grail sought since the start of the Jet Age.
