#3 ...Want to make clear - my opposition to this is no reflection on the Hawk. It is a superb little aircraft at what it does (training, light attack, and even not bad at air-to-air). The shame of it is that our procurement system is so broken that we can't come up with a make-'em-like-hotcakes little bird like this any more.

#4 and Congress will never know...

Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
