Country:  | The shitter on the C-130s is surrounded by a curtain. I still though could not get over the fact that I was taking a **** and on the other side of the curtain was this chick about 6 inches from me sitting in the jump seat. Oh well she could not hear it atleast because these damn birds are loud!

Ofcourse I would tell the passengers before hand so if they did not want to see my wang all hanging out they could close there eyes.
I was allways afraid to be taking a piss and then get fired at and we woudl do evasive manouvers and I would get piss all over me. | dangerous perhaps but did you never try to piss out the side door?

Country: | As far as transports are concerned, I'm extremely impressed by C-17s. They'd always fly into Quantico to pick up HMX-1.
How about the MV-22B? It's got a gas generator! Just souping myself up guys

A. The wind would have blown it back into the cabin at all the passengers because we flew doors open most of the time because of the heat.
B. If above said doors were closed the wind would spray and blow it all over the windows of those doors and I would have to clean it up when we landed, thats also if the wind did not blow it all back over me.

Country: | I read similar spray problems were common for the ball turret gunner in B-17s.
Let's see where were we...

Country:  | Considering the battles fought today then I would go for the A-10. 30mm of pain.
The RAF is fine and does a grand job with what it has. Why would the RAF fight USAF anyway? Are the Americans planning to attack us? Does The Queen know?
The Tornado F3 is an acceptable interceptor that has range radar and plenty of missiles. | |

The RAF and Royal Navy pilots are some of the best in the world, and they're certainly world renowned. I'm sure some of our pilots military or none, will know about the quality of the British military aviators.
But in a slugfest, the RAF has not single speck of chance against the USAF. I doubt the RAF would have a very nice day against the USMC or USN.
How can you compare an airforce with the Tornado F.3 as an air superiority fighter, against someone who has the F-15, F-16 and F-22 all operational as air superiority fighters. An airforce with no strategic bomber, against one that has the B-1, B-2 and B-52. The only thing we have that the U.S hasn't got is the world's fastest helicopter, the Lynx. But that's a pointless achievement in a full-scale war. | Okay, but what about the EF-2000 Taifun? That's a world-class fighter (though not quite in the same class as a Raptor; but, then again, nothing is). I know you guys don't have a lot of them in-service yet, but you will. | |
