    Let's face it: the Mig 29 was the first Russian fighter jet that looked cooler than any of our fighter jets. In the battle for the hearts and minds of young kids, it's always the military with the coolest hardware that wins, and until the Mig 29 came along that was always us. But then the Mig 29 came along and it was like the Russian Seabiscuit to our F15 War Admiral.

    Yes, that is all well and good, and much like elephants, we know where they are born. The real question, as w/elephants, is where to they die?

    I would rather pay people to build them than pay those people to be unemployed.


    When the Russians start making noise about how all the arctic resources belong to them, or the Chinese start suggesting that they own all the mineral rights in Africa, I would rather not have to depend on unemployed aeronautical engineers with shopping carts full of aluminum cans.

    I remember when this plane got the green light back in 1993. What's up with that? I figured there would be hundreds of them by now. If they would have been in the air in Sept. 2001 we might not be in the crap we are now. Thank you US government for dragging your feet on something important while only taking a week to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on keeping your buddy's banks afloat.

    @reddingofish: That's an interesting theory.


    But either way I don't think you need a bleeding-edge air-superiority-fighter to shoot down an air liner... (if that is what you were eluding to, I'm still not sure)

    So we lose jobs making planes, but we gain jobs in the derrigible industry! This is exactly why I voted for the guy in the first place.

    Well clearly, we just need to get in on that WWIII action and take stock of what we need.


    Until then, what says we can't use them for other purposes?

    We reverted back to space capsules

    Then we have the dirrigibles

    But we still have raptors for the next years 3

    and flying killer UAV's!
