The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

"The Bock 4 aircraft were supposed to bring the thing up to spec. Nope. More delays. More cost overruns."

Well not surprising for a nation that couldn’t up production of 155mm artillery shells to supply Ukraine. Luckily the Ukraine improvised with drones.

Spain & Switzerland have cancelled f-35 buys. Canada, Portugal, Turkey & Germany ate considering cancelling their orders.

Well there will be some that say that we will learn from the F-35 debacle. I don’t think so. We attempted an all-purpose aircraft back in the 1970’s. The f-111. It failed. And we repeated with the f-35.

Same old shyte. Business as usual.
