Any 39 owners here?
Looking for a clear picture of the barrel seat for a project. Would really appreciate it.
>>28648828
thanks for the bump, and nice pic. you own one?
/k/, I have some questions about the F-35C.
Namely, is it what the Navy needs? Its specifications look good
>Combat radius of 610 nmi (18E/F 390 nmi, 14D 500 nmi)
>stealth of course
What does it have over other fighters like the Super Bug and F-14? What makes it better than an alternative like the ASF-14 proposed in the early 2000s? With the larger wings, does it have better turning characteristics than the 35A?
What are the disadvantages of the F-35C? Would it have been wiser for the Navy to invest in a dedicated air superiority fighter while letting the Super Bugs handle air interdiction and bombing? Is its logistically sustainable? The F135 engine is larger and therefore more difficult to transport, but for that matter how are engines brought to a carrier? Are they put aboard MSC ships and brought over by helicopter, or flown from land aboard a COD?
I wanna know what y'all think about the F-35's place in naval aviation.
Leave your shilling, shitposting, GAUtism, Pierre Sprey quotes, bingo, etc. at the door, save that shit for the threads that get posted daily.

Yeah, it fits the Navy's needs. The Navy needs to replace the Legacy Hornets badly, and this extends the range quite substantially. I would argue they need even longer range in some specialized aircraft, but the F-35C is plenty good.
I don't know the Super Tomcat very well at all, so I'll refrain from commenting. In an ideal world, however, I'd like an upper end fighter and attacker with the F-35C taking the lower end of both, like what the F/A-18 was for the F-14 and A-6.
It generates more lift, so it might turn better. Then again, it's heavier. Probably turns slightly better, rolls slightly worse.
The real problems with the F-35C are really in that it's more expensive than what it's replacing. Even that isn't a problem, just what always happens. Not really much else. It's also not specialized as either a fighter or attacker, so it loses out somewhat in potential performance in those roles, but it's more than capable of both roles.
No, the Navy doesn't need a dedicated fighter terribly. Replacing the Legacy Hornets with the F-35C more than gives that capability. In the current budget environment, that's the wisest choice.
The F135 is a huge engine, and initially they couldn't fly it in for UNREP. However, they changed the packaging they carried the F135, and it now fits inside C-2s and V-22s just fine. And yes, that'd generally be how they'd be carried. Additional ones, at least. There's a number on the carrier itself, and there might be others on one of the AKEs in the CSG.

>What does it have over other fighters like the Super Bug and F-14?
Uhhhh... stealth? Integrated sensors? Massive internal fuel capacity? Just to name a few.
>With the larger wings, does it have better turning characteristics than the 35A?
In theory, quicker low-speed ITR and STR, but worse roll rate and ultimate G limit.
>What are the disadvantages of the F-35C?
Compared to what?
>Would it have been wiser for the Navy to invest in a dedicated air superiority fighter while letting the Super Bugs handle air interdiction and bombing?
No. A carrier has limited hangar space; having a warplane which can be readily configured for any mission is a fantastic force multiplier. Plus, strike is the most important mission for a carrier aircraft, so the F-35 really has the correct balance of priorities.
>The F135 engine is larger and therefore more difficult to transport
...But you only need half as many of them...
>but for that matter how are engines brought to a carrier?
All of the above, or simply loaded by crane in port.
>I wanna know what y'all think about the F-35's place in naval aviation.
Oh, it'll play a very major role I'm sure. I suspect it replacing the remaining legacy Hornets with it is just the beginning.
How's the F-18 going to launch strikes into china?
It's starting, snow accumulation measuring in the feet. Time to hunker down, and guard the homestead. Be safe, I'll be here until the falling trees taken down the internet.
Jesus any excuse to post a picture of yourself on the internet huh
Sad life

Who getting ready to /help/ others if the need arises?
I have firewood if I need to bring it to the highway I'm near.
I'm pissed I didn't buy a tank, but it's okay. There's always next snowpacalypse.

Soviets decide they've had enough, workers must be liberated from capitalist oppression (and their personal belongings).
Soviet troops achieve strategic surprise. No chemical or nuclear weapons are used.
How far do Soviets go?

You're asking for a realistic analysis of a hypothetical based on a total disregard of everything realistic related.

You're an ugly person.

The only way to stop a bully is to beat the shit out of them.

Kill it with fire. What the fuck even is that?
>tfw about to board a flight to a free state from Jew York
>tfw had to deal with TSA and bringing 7 firearms through checked luggage
>tfw I will finally be able to unfuck my AR
Anybody else know these feels?
How does one deal with the TSA if you need to bring a gun on your trip? Do you have to call them days before and let them know you're coming? Lock everything up in respective cases?
And how did you manage to deal with them without using a constant tone of disgust and condescension?
>>28656194
You're supposed to claim them at the check-in counter. TSA might search you (especially in the containment zo-- er, liberal states) but if you follow the rules they *can't* fuck with you.
That being said, TSA being condescending faggots is something you can't ever get around. Baggage throwers have been known to try to pry open rifle cases in the past; consider yourself warned.

Forgot to mention, these guys have a pretty good writeup of travelling with a gun:

Downside?

Oh gee it's the same shit, again and again.
We've heard it all and we've seen it all.
i know a guy whose mom was afraid to go to bass pro shop for lunch because they had a range in there and didn't want to get shot

How common were homosexuality relationshiPs between gis in www?
As in "the thin red line
>>28658828
Stigma was huge. It was a immense taboo and generally if you were thought to be a queer, you became more of an issue then you were worth. "Relationships" were immensely risky and I seriously would seriously doubt any claims of relationships forming between GIs.
>>28658828
>>28658910
Homosexual acts were shockingly common. Some units had up to 71% of soldiers engaging in anal sex. Up to 50% of our grandpas blew a dude.
It was more common for soldiers to have sex with each other than to see the enemy.
War is hell.
>>28658828
Incredibly common. Like more than half of GIs.

I get why people don't like FrogLube. If you don't actually follow the directions and use it like a normal CLP, it WILL gunk up.
The shit is fucking amazing when you apply it the right way though.

Red and Tacky #2 for things that need grease, and Stihl winter grade bar and chain oil for when we can expect temperatures below -20°c.
The F-22A is undoubtedly the greatest air superiority fighter ever built. How are pilots from other countries (specifically Iran, Russia, China, North Korea, etc.) trained to combat it?
Are they even trained to combat stealth aircraft?

No use in being a tripfag if you're going to be a retard too.
>>28656266
All tripfags are retarded though
Yes it was in transformers
Yes it was a film or do you want me to call it a movie? Fuck you I did take film school courses to call it a movie.
