Such vitriol? …Toward a LOCKHEED PRODUCT??
That’s just wrong man. I spent my formative years in one of Lockheed’s airframes and to this day an encounter with a Lockheed aircraft is like a visit with a favorite aunt. Scooped by a diesel 10? Fine. Dominated by a 74? Fair enough. So what? If I explain that I own a 1967 Jag S1 4.2 Roadster you’d assume that it has to do with my affection for a particular breed of auto, and that its inability to off-road like a Range Rover or manage the skidpad like a Carrera 4 (bit of a shock to note that the Jag handles the skidpad about as well as a new Land Rover Discovery Series II, roughly .25 g worse than the Porsche…) means NOTHING to me (not to mention strictly mechanical issues). So, we like the Lockheed. We’re old. It treated us well. Noth’n wrong with that.
The man said the L10 had some slick features a long time ago, not that God himself engineered the damned things. Don’t make me have a talk with your mother.
I’m sure your Boeing airplanes are very nice son.
