An artists rendering of the Republic A-10 circa 1971. This is very nearly the final design, but it differs in details; the cockpit canopy is a little off, for instance.
The US Naval Institute press is having a 50% off sale on their in-print, in-stock books. Sale runs through December 31. https://www.usni.org/press/books If someone wanted to take this opportunity to buy me half-price copies of Friedman’s revised editions of U.S. Submarines Since 1945 and U.S. Aircraft Carriers, I would not object. P.S.…
Huh. But then… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHa2LyjUvuQ There are a lot of weird aspects to this story, a lot of apparent contradictions and inconsistencies. Most news stories that initially seem like a conspiracy theorists wet dream fall apart once the facts come out (witness virtually *every* story related to “racial justice” over the past five or more years);…
Somehow Biden seems to think that Americans don’t settle their differences with riots, but at the Battle Box. A Google Image Search for “Battle Box” turns up a weird assortment of Mall Ninja garbage and role playing game accessories.
So, yet another attempted political assassination attempt. Let’s watch the national news media fall all over themselves to report on this, shall we?

The graphics it can place over reality remain monochromatic and low-rez, basically text (looks like circa 1980 home computer stuff), but the fact that they can get *anything* is impressive. I doubt something like this would be a good idea for fighter pilots;…
David DePape is an illegal alien, having come from Canada through the Mexican border and overstayed his visa. But he was in California, a “sanctuary state,” and more specifically San Francisco, a “sanctuary city.” I wonder if Pelosi will ever wonder if the immigration laws were enforced, maybe this wouldn’t have happened? But then, how…
After numerous issues with the Unwanted Blog and the APR blog, causing me to not only set up this backup blog but also forcing me to give a crap about Twitter… both up-ship.com and aerospaceprojectsreview.com have vanished, “Server Not Found.” This does not seem to be a problem targeted at me in particular; the hosting…
