Just hope it don't come with the aircraft carrier. :P
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

What's wrong with the -16? Besides the fact that it's a single-engined midget? :P
It's Rogue, not Rouge!

Yes, buy the aircraft that loses every competition it enters. Good idea. No I don't think that will happen if they are canceling for budgetary reasons.

Too right, the previous government was caught falsifying it's budget records for years by the Comission, then add to the cost of the Olympics well ... good decision by the present governmnet for the moment, Greece's house needs to be put back in order a Herculian task if I ever saw one!

I was only thinking that in terms of Greece's Mirage 2000 fleet and penchant for Dassault aircraft.
