I don’t know if Loggie would be interested, can’t say I know him very well (as far as online acquaintances go), but you could always ask, couldn’t hurt.

My biggest problem with fighter jet design is my credibility. First off, what kind of say does a guy with just over a year’s experience in the AF (all of which has been training) and a bachelor’s in biochemistry have in aircraft design? All my research is done off line from materials I find myself, so none of my peers really want to discuss things seriously if the topic comes up. Thinking about pursuing another degree from OU in Aero or something related when I get out there. I’m in the process of moving now, so my computer’s sitting up on cardboard boxes and my bed’s an inflatable mattress. Now that’s living!

I guess my other problem is patience and not knowing what the future holds (or should hold) for the AF in terms of fighter aircraft. There’s all the talk of UAV’s and directed energy air defenses etc. etc. but the problem I think about is the nature of war altogether. Will there ever be another air to air war? I can tell you the AF certainly hopes so, it might give the F-22 some actual use. They’re a little embarrassed about having to jerry rig it to carry bombs.

But anyways, that’s my train of thought, the weblargh continues the dry spell until I get back from survival school and move out to Oklahoma, where apparently the wind comes sweeping down the plains or something.

You stick to your guns, Mickey, there’s more than enough of the same old
crap circulating these days, and fresh new ideas, and differing
perspectives are in crtiticaly short supply.

Do you know if ‘Loggie’ might also be interested ?

Wow, your comment has reminded me of how little I’ve contributed to my own blog in the past weeks. I’ve been getting pushed through the live portion of the course down here, so it’s been missions, missions, missions. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to catch up.

You might enjoy this website.
