Do astronauts practice for space flights by taking off from the Earth and entering outer space? No. They practice on simulators, which saves a lot of fuel and a lot of taxpayer money. By the same token, the pilots ready to fly F-35s and F-22s have spent hundreds of hours in simulators that replicate the experiences they will have in flight. <br /><br />Enrico R.

This is appalling! The F-22 flew 500 hours in its first 2 1/2 years. We should rename the F-35 the Dodo after the bird that can't fly.Airpower Oraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017537951994876553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9004611408106715980.post-11283425591294636662009-06-06T08:16:46.578-04:002009-06-06T08:16:46.578-04:00We need to pay attention to the Global Reach missi...We need to pay attention to the Global Reach missions.
