TILTING AT WINDMILLS

"When you see something that is seriously wrong .... you have an obligation to yourself and your employer [e.g. the nation or your organization] to speak up. It may cost you your job, but a life you ended up being proud of of is not going to one that was free of risk and pain ... "

(by Charles Peters in TILTING AT WINDMILLS, Washington Monthly March 1987)

I think BWilkins just wants Mike to clearly "acknowledge" the WP:COI issues and perhaps implicit is also he wants a promiss that Mike will only edit the talkpage of any article he has COI with not its main page. All other non-COI editing would be fine. Perhaps all will be well if Mike does this soon! Best wishes, (Msrasnw (talk) 16:02, 19 February 2013 (UTC))[reply]

AFM???

Jackie old boy, how are you? FYI, I have the piece right in-front of me now and was delighted that you've made some nice changes/updates to the page of Dassault Mirage F1, will help you out later. Just out of curiousity, have you come across any published news that the Republic of Singapore Air Force has taken delivery of their first batch of Alenia Aermacchi M-346 Master (at Cazaux Airbase in France)? Well, my sources told me yes but the press release is nowhere to be found! Cheers~! --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 10:06, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dave, I am doing as well as can be expected of a 65 year old man who has some unexplained virus that has attacked the balance system. As to the M-346 I did read about it in Air International where they will be based in France to train Singapore pilots. And besides Singapore, Israel and Italy and UAE and the Saudi both are to sign contracts soon. I will try and find that back issue. --Jackehammond (talk) 21:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jack, please don't look for them, I have all the back copies at my place. It's just that latest bit about the delivery of the M-346 to RSAF that has me up in arms for the news blackout, think I read it somewhere on "Combat Aircraft Monthly" (a sister publication of AFM) but lost track of it now. --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 03:33, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And another thing, seems that General Dynamics is going to make a comeback, this time teaming up with Alenia Aermacchi for their bid (as the M-346's derivative - the T-100) in the T-X program. What's your take on that? --Dave ^{♠♣♥♦™№1185©♪♫®} 08:04, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BAe will win the contract with their advance HAWK, because it is the safe choice with no vices and because the US owes the British a big favor. The South Koreans are really pushing with their T-50 advance trainer. They are pouring million of dollars for high power US lobbyists and are promising about all 50 state governors jobs in building the T-50--Jackehammond (talk) 10:46, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

UH-60 Black Hawk

I'm quite well aware of that. Thanks. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE 15:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Editor,

I am sorry I bothered you, but I was answering a question you posted on the UH-60 page.

Jack E. HammondJackehammond (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Okay fair enough, not sure what question I asked, but I've known these facts for quite some time. Appreciate your consideration though. --THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^PRAISE 02:15, 9 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bofors 57-mm m/54

Bofors 57 mm m/54 anti-aircraft gun - Jack, can you add anything about this weapon? Tough to find much information about it. Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 20:16, 19 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I read some where that all it is, is a L70/40mm up scaled to 57mm. Nothing like the 57mm Bofors of today.
