They are all training for the Det to Stanley, followed by the OT&E in the 'stan when they get the PGB capability.

Yawn Yawn Yawn... Sell the lot (and the E3-D fleet) and buy something useful like a tanker and some AT.

No checked out on it, but had a back-seat trip- wow! Not used to the joy of reheat that it offers- amazing acceleration. But it was very difficult in the transition to the hover.

Finally tail slid it into the vertical and held it there though.

Anyway FutureNav won't find out, unless he takes the advice and becomes FuturePilot.

Wow! the predictable achieved in just 5 Posts.

Speaking of which, I wonder what's the mod state of Avtur's crystal ball.
