Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) I really REALLY hope the call it the Black Mamba..how funny would that be. Interestingly, I happened to be watching CSPAN (geek) when Lockeed was awarded the contract. Don Rumsfeld made the announcement, then took questions from the press corps. One of the reporters asked Rumsfeld what the numeric desgnation of the newly-selected fighter would be..ie "F-what?". Rumsfeld looked at the AF General next to him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "well its the X-35, so F-35 I guess". And there you have it. Just like LBJ and the SR-71. Shoulda been the F-24. :) Regards, Pig Edited June 2, 2006 by Pete "Pig" Fleischmann Link to post Share on other sites

Regards, Pig No, the Super Hornet shoulda been the F-24 which would make the JSF the F-25 (if the yahoos making the decisions had any clue that there was actually a system used for assigning designations and then actually FOLLOWED it...wishful thinking I know...)

Jim Barr Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Don Rumsfeld made the announcement For the sake of accuracy it was not Rumsfeld who made the goof, it was Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisitions, Technology and Logistics –Edward C. "Pete" Aldridge and the General he looked to for guidance was Major General Mike Hough-USMC, it was obvious from watching them when the question was ask that their "staffers" had not done too great a job on preparing them for this event.

jwilliamson Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 OK it may be a dumb question but how are the designations done? How does the order work? JOE Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 He could grip it by the husk.Pig SOLDIER #1: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut. ARTHUR: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here? SOLDIER #1: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right? ARTHUR: Please! SOLDIER #1: Am I right? ARTHUR: I'm not interested! SOLDIER #2: It could be carried by an African swallow! SOLDIER #1: Oh, yeah, an African swallow maybe, but not a European swallow. That's my point. SOLDIER #2: Oh, yeah, I agree with that. Every day should have some Monty Python in it. Link to post Share on other sites
