is awesome!
SR-71's are amazing in person. Had this conversation yesterday in IRC, but the chance to get up close to one makes the awe-inspiring nature just that much greater.
In New York city there's an aircraft carrier that now serves as a tourist attraction/museum and it has several aircraft on its flight deck. You can also see this carrier in the movie "National Treasure". I'm too lazy to google the name of this ship right now though :?Speaking of the SR-71, I saw one in the movie "I Am Legend". Will Smith's character, Robert Neville, is playing golf by shooting balls from the deck of a carrier on the win of an SR-71. And the one thing I thought to myself, just after thinking shooting golf balls from a navy carrier was cool, was what the hell is the SR-71 doing on that carrier? That plane was decomissioned long ago.
Here's a tip: don't argue with the people with stealth bombers. But seriously this thread is getting depressing so here's some gratuitous awesome to liven it back up:

This "Europe vs. America" debate couldn't get any more stereotypical.
Those are stealth fighters you idiot
1. That piece of machinery is a means of defense against an attack on the United States. It protects 300 million people.
2. That piece of machinery cost the normal tax payers millions of dollars. If I were an American citizen and someone tried to break it, I would fire a shot of my own after the military was done with 'em. Guess who's pocket the repairs would come out of? And while it's on repairs, it certainly isn't flying into combat.
3. You read a law, you know the penalty is death, you know your possible executioner is feet away from you, you know that the infraction won't stand in court because there's many witnesses around ... and you still break the law? I think that's justified, who knows what other laws you've probably broken.

By name yes they are, but seeing that their primary role is to take out ground targets...
Flynn is sad their country's military power consists of a guy sitting in a row boat with a 9mm and a cup of tea.
And yet you get into Internet arguments over them.Dude I am not one of these sados whose life is based on their countries military might. The military doesn't affect my everyday life, or even any of my life for that matter. It has absolutely no baring on my life whatsoever

We kicked your ass once and well do it again.It's not a shame, they have no impact on us, the citizens. If we need help we can just call America. Let their tax payers do all the work
