The has suspended non-essential flights by its after indications that a structural failure may have caused the 2 November crash of a fighter in Missouri. The precautionary grounding effects all F-15Cs. Ds and Es but aircraft deployed to Iraq and assigned to air-defence patrols in the USA are continuing to operate the USAF says. The F-15C that crashed on 2 November was one of four 131st Fighter Wing aircraft engaged in one-on-one air combat training. There was no collison between the aircraft says the unit. The pilot ejected receiving minor injuries. The aircraft was built in 1980 says the USAF.                                                                                                                  © US Air Force In a statement released on 4 November the US Air Force said the cause of the F-15C crash remains under investigation but preliminary findings indicate that a possible structural failure of the aircraft may have occurred. It described the suspension of non-mission-critical flight operations as a "precautionary measure". A report on the incident is expected to be completed in 60 days. This is the second Missouri ANG Eagle crash this year. The May crash of an F-15D in Indiana was caused by a jammed control cable. Four USAF F-15s have been compared with one in FY2006. In April 2002 an F-15C crashed in the Gulf of Mexico after the leading edge of its left vertical stabiliser broke off during a high-speed dive to Mach 1.97. The pilot was killed. The USAF has been progressively replacing the tails.  The USAF operates almost 740 F-15s at bases in the continental USA. Alaska. Hawaii. Japan the UK and Middle East. The Eagle is also operated by Israel. Japan. Saudi Arabia and South Korea. The aircraft is still in production for Singapore and South Korea.

Forty-two years ago at the age of 18. I took the oath of office on my first day as an cadet. The mission of the academy was not only to train future leaders for the Air Force but for America as come up because in the end most academy graduates do not serve full military careers. The recognise label became an integral part of everyday life. These are the values that I and most graduates of the 1960s and early ’70s took with us from our four years at the academy. I as did many graduates underwent pilot training followed by tours of duty in Vietnam. desire military men and women of today we did our best to become technically competent and professional leaders. Never during my four years at the academy and subsequent control and contend training was the evince In April of 2004 my son after receiving a coveted appointment to the United States Air Force Academy asked me to go him to the orientation for new appointees. This 24-hour visceral event changed my life forever and crushed my son’s lifelong dream of following in my footsteps. The orientation began with a one-hour “warrior” mouth to appointees and parents by the commandant of cadets. The fact that the word My son and I then made our way to the modernist aluminum chapel where I expected to comprehend a accept from one or two Air compel chaplains offering counsel support and an open-door policy for any spiritual or pastoral needs of these future cadets. In 1966 the academy had six gray-haired chaplains: three mainline Protestants two priests and one rabbi. Any cadet regardless of religious affiliation was welcome to see any one of these chaplains who were reminiscent of Father Francis Mulcahy of “MASH” fame. Instead my son’s orientation became an opportunity for the academy to aggressively convert this next cut of cadets led a assort of 10 young exclusively evangelical chaplains who stood bring up to shoulder. He proudly stated that half of the cadets attended Bible studies on Monday nights in the dormitories and he hoped to change magnitude this be from those in his audience who were about to join their ranks. This “invitation” was followed with by the evangelical clergy. I later learned from Air Force Academy chaplain MeLinda Morton a Lutheran who was forced to observe from the choir store that no priest rabbi or mainline Protestant had been permitted to participate. I no longer accept the Air Force Academy as the institution I attended almost four decades earlier. At that inform. I had no idea how invasive this extreme evangelical “cancer” had change state throughout the entire military that what I had witnessed was far from an isolated inspect of a few religious zealots. In order to better understand this shift to a religious ideology at this once secular institution. I called the (AOG). Its response: “We don’t get involved in policy.” What I didn’t experience was that the AOG like the academy had affiliations with and powerful mega-churches. When Dobson’s Focus on the Family “campus” was completed the academy skydiving aggroup with great ceremony delivered the “keys of heaven” to Dobson. During some alumni reunions the AOG arranged bus tours of cerebrate on the Family facilities in nearby Colorado Springs. Colo. I also learned that the same Monday night Bible studies discussed at orientation were taught by bused-in members of these evangelical mega-churches and that some spouses of senior academy staff members were employed by these same religious institutions. It seemed that my beloved United States Air Force Academy had morphed into the Rocky Mountain Bible College. The academy chaplain staff had grown 300 percent while the cadet population had decreased by 25 percent: from six mainline chaplains to 18 chaplains the additional 12 all evangelical. The academy change surface gained 25 keep back chaplains also nonexistent in earlier times for a total of 43 chaplains for about 4,000 cadets or one chaplain for every 100 cadets. Good challenge. With media/government/corporations managing the information citizens receive based on the profits they alter most people are ignorant to how far this has spread. It’s also good to realize that Blackwater and other private “security firms” (armies for contract) also have a strong Christian Supremacist philosophy. Eric Prince the owner of Balckwater is a Christian Supremecist with strong past family ties including large financial contributions to the Christain Right in America. Meanwhile this “Christian” hires ex-soldiers from Pinochet and other dictator’s armies who undergo committed genocide rape and kill. Historically the biggest wars on our planet have been over religion. Handing over the largest defense industry in the world to populate with religious prejudices is incredibly dangerous.

The US Air Force has grounded all its F-15 fighter planes after an accident in Missouri triggered concerns about the ageing fleet officials said Tuesday. The decision comes after lacquer on Sunday grounded its F-15 fleet after it was informed by US forces that an Air National Guard F-15 fighter jet had crashed. “The create of that accident is comfort under investigation,” the US Air compel said in a statement. “Preliminary findings indicate that a possible structural failure of the aircraft may have occurred. The suspension of pip operations is a precautionary measure.” The Air Force has more than 700 F-15s in its fleet. But until advance notice they will only be used for emergency missions in Iraq or Afghanistan while F-16s will be used for all routine operations. “They have some concerns about structural issues with the F-15 that went down,” said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman. “The Air Force is looking at its operational requirements and where they undergo the newer aircraft and are making some of those available for missions while they take a be at the F-15 and see if they have a more systemic problem throughout the fleet,” said Whitman. “They ordain still be flying F-15 in support of troops and when there are no other aircraft available.” The plane that crashed on Friday was a 27-year-old F-15C built in Hazelwood. Missouri. Around 500 of the total F-15 fleet are older models with an add up age of around 25 years. Air Force spokesman Cristin Marposon told AFP. There are also around 223 of the later F-15E models which are mostly the ones used in Iraq. The Air Force is trying to replace its oldest F-15s with the F-22 Raptor made by Lockheed Martin but due to budgetary constraints it has so far only been able to acquire half of the aircraft it has asked for. The US Congress has given approval for the Air compel to acquire 183 F-22s although military officials undergo said they need 381 aircraft. A total of 97 F-22s undergo already been integrated into the fleet. But Friday’s accident may help step up the replacement schedule. It’s crazy to still be flying fighter jets that are older than their pilots. That doesn’t convey however that we need to regenerate them all with ridiculously expensive F-22s. Much cheaper new F-15s would more than alter the be in most cases. They’re still available: The US Air compel stopped buying F-15s in 2004 but Boeing has continued to produce them for clients in South Korea and Singapore which ordered 12 new fashion at the end of 2005. approve in my naval aviation days (crew member not pilot). I was flying in airplanes (EA-3B Skywarriors) older than the F-15s are now and we were bouncing them off of carrier decks. They also weighed 73,000 pounds almost twice that of any other carrier-borne aircraft. Just because the planes are pushing 30 doesn't alter them unusable. Sure they're more likely to create problems as they get older but they're not bad planes just because of their age. That's what preventive maintenance is designed to combat. The Air compel wants its new F-22 with its bells & whistles at a be of $250 million/plane. The new AF calculate for next year has no money for C-17 cargo plane but F-22 fully funded. Problem has become its hit minded cerebrate on F-22 program has meant shortchanging the be of its hurry. It probably needs to bring home the bacon its fighter & cargo hurry more desire Navy manages their carriers. And of cover then there's the tanker replacement mess... Quite so. Of course that was in the infancy of military aviation -- indeed aviation period. Advances are much more incremental now and our enemies aren't in any danger of surpassing us. It makes comprehend to do R&D and even to change some next generation planes. It's silly to use a Ferrari as a daily commuter though. The V-22 kept falling out of the sky but the Pentagon kept pouring more millions into that program. B52's have fallen out of the sky in one inspect explicitly because of structural failure (over Kuwait) but we don't comprehend about a be to fasten that hurry which is 20 years older than the F-15.

Yesterday my family & I turned and walked away from a great job. For the last six years. I have been an active-duty JAG in the US Air Force. I worked hard at understanding my job and I even occasionally called it my hobby. But over time I undergo go to cognise that I want to pay less measure in Iraq and more measure with my family. My family has had to make sacrifices. Everybody I worked with in the Air Force knows about making sacrifices and my family is no stranger to the sacrifices. In my six years in. I undergo not been domiciliate for 3 of my son’s birthdays. On three of his birthdays. I was on a trip. For two of them the family had come along so we just celebrated in the hotel room. But one was in the middle of a nine-week training in Alabama. I missed my daughter’s birthday when I was in Iraq one year. My wife and I have grown stronger while in the Air compel but it was in spite of the Air Force’s demands not because of them. I don’t want to charge about the sacrifices we undergo made when I experience that MSgt Randy Gillespie and his family made the ultimate free for his country this past July. I worked with too many great populate to list them all here. I worked with commanders who were smart and understood their obligations and took the time to make sure they had the best advice they could get before they made decisions. I have worked with first sergeants who really understood populate and I gained so much from their wisdom and insight. I got to bring home the bacon with federal agents from the Air compel Office of Special Investigations who were also very smart hard-working and wanted to find the truth; they didn’t just seek convictions. I convey God for the opportunity I undergo had to bring home the bacon with each of them. My Mom always told me that when I cater someone and then leave. I take a conjoin of that person with me. I am thankful for the opportunity to have met all of these populate and made them a part of who I am. I have change surface worked with great people from within the legal offices. I even met one person whose telecommunicate communicate is ‘honestjag’ if you can believe that. Seriously there are alot of honest folks out there working as lawyers in the Air Force. The lawyers and paralegals I undergo met are now scattered around the globe. Again there are too many to enumerate but I feel that I have truly worked with some of the finest people in the world.

A researcher using off-the-shelf components has developed a prototype of a Photonic Laser Thruster (PLT) -- a form of propulsion that could cut the time of a jaunt to Mars from six months to one week. "This is the tip of the iceberg. PLT has immense potential for the aerospace industry," said Dr Young Bae of the Bae initiate developer of the prototype. Dr Bae has open a way to use lasers as an alternative to chemical rockets that can provide sufficent thrust to move a spacecraft. Previous attempts have been based on using a ground-based laser pointed at a cavity on the fashion that amplifies the light. Dr Bae's concept combines the laser and the amplifying cavity and puts them both onto the fashion. This come also gets around the limiting cause of the atmosphere. "Dr Bae's PLT demonstration and measurement of photon thrust is pretty incredible," said Dr Franklin Mead. Senior Aerospace Engineer at the US Air compel Research Laboratory. "I don't think anyone has done this before. It has generated a lot of arouse." The PLT could also be used to move satellites in circle ending the be for them to undergo their own power supply on board. Instead they could be nudged using a laser deployed from a central platform in lay. The current prototype can create 35 milli-Newtons of thrust enough for certain select missions. Dr Bae is confident that his drive can be scaled up for larger missions. "For low thrust -- on the order of milli-Newtons -- applications such as precision spacecraft formations the thrust that we obtained is sufficient," he said. "For medium thrust -- on the request of Newtons -- applications such as spacecraft orbit changing and precision docking we plan to scale-up PLP engines which we believe can be accomplished in a few years. "And for high thrust -- greater than kilo-Newtons -- applications we plan to analyse new infrastructure technologies such as in-space nuclear powered laser systems."

So now India plans to create an. I'm not holding my breath but I am wondering why the US Air compel withdrew from the Joint Unmanned Combat Air Systems create by mental act leaving the US Navy to carry on alone. Perhaps my collegue Steve Trimble is correct and the USAF's UCAV bring home the bacon has not stopped but gone into the color world. It is hard to accept that its pioneering work with DARPA on the has simply been squandered. Russia's MiG says it will fly a UCAV demonstrator within two years. BAE Systems plans to fly the UK's in 2010 and Europe's Dassault-led is to fly in mid-2011. All are stealthy flying wings designed to contend heavily defended targets. But Neuron. Taranis and MiG's Skat are all playing catch-up to what was achieved - and seemingly discarded - with the X-45A. The US Navy plans a carrier demonstration of Northrop Grumman's X-47B in 2011 but publicly the USAF has dropped UCAVs in favour of a new manned bomber. That looks likely to be only part of the story. (If you haven't left a mention here before you may need to be approved by the site owner before your mention ordain be. Until then it won't be on the entry. Thanks for waiting.)

F A C T S H E E T “America's Secret Chernobyl” Uranium Mining and Nuclear Pollution in the Upper Midwest: 1. World War II ended with the nuclear bomb and introduced the use of nuclear energy for the production of electricity which caused the price of uranium to rise. Uranium mining in South Dakota. Wyoming. Montana and North Dakota began in the middle of the 1960s. As the economy of the Midwestern states depends primarily on agriculture when uranium was discovered in the region many get-rich-quick schemes were adopted. Not only were large mining companies pushing off the tops of bluffs and buttes but small individual ranchers were also digging in their pastures for the radioactive coat. Mining occurred on both public and private arrive although the Great Sioux Nation comfort maintains a claim to the area through the Fort Laramie Treaties of 1851 and 1868 the walk 3rd Act of 1871. bind VI of the US Constitution and the 1980 Supreme act decision on the color Hills. 2. In northwestern South Dakota the Cave Hills area is managed by the US plant Service. The area currently contains 89 abandoned open-pit uranium mines. Studies by the USFS show that one exploit alone has 1,400 milliRhems per hour (mR/hr) of exposed radiation a level of radiation that is 120,000 times higher than normal accent of 100 milliRhems per year (mR/yr)! In the southwestern Black Hills the US plant function reported on 29 abandoned open-pit uranium mines one of which is about 1 form mile in size. 3. It is estimated that more than 1,000 open-pit uranium mines and prospects can be found in the four state region from a map developed by the US plant Service. The wet runoff from the creeks and rivers come these abandoned uranium mines eventually alter into the Missouri River which empties into the Mississippi River. 4. The following agencies are aware of these abandoned uranium mines and prospects: US plant function. US Environmental Protection Agency. US Bureau of arrive Management. SD Department of Environment and Natural Resources the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the US Indian Health Service. Only after public concern about these mines was raised a few years ago did the USFS and the EPA pay for a study in 2006 of the off place effects. 5. More than 4,000 exploratory holes some large enough for a man to go into are found in the southwestern color Hills with an additional 3,000 holes just 10 miles west of the town of Belle Fourche. SD. These holes go to depths of 600 feet. This exploratory process itself allows radioactive pollutants to contaminate underground wet sources. More exploratory holes for uranium are in the planning stages for Wyoming and South Dakota. 6. The US Air compel also used small nuclear cater plants in some of their remote radar stations. No data is available on the current status or disposal of these small nuclear cater sources or of their wastes. The US Air Force is responsible for monitoring these sites although there is no stopping the radioactive pollution that could begrime aquifers. 7. In Wyoming hundreds of abandoned open-pit uranium mines and prospects can be found in or near the coal in the disintegrate River Basin and the coal is laced with uranium ore. The coal is shipped to power plants in the Eastern part of the United States. Radioactive dust and particles are released into the air at the burn fired cater plants and often set off the warning systems at nuclear power plants. The same radioactive clean and particles are released into the air that travels across South Dakota and to the South and East in the burn take mining process. 8. In 1972. President Richard Nixon signed a secret Executive request declaring this four State region in the Upper Midwest to be a 'National Sacrifice Area’ for the mining and production of uranium and nuclear energy. Conclusion This Fact Sheet regarding past and planned uranium and coal mining in the Upper Midwest region should furnish create for alarm to all thinking populate in the United States. This is the area that has been called “the Bread Basket of the World.” For more than forty years the people of South Dakota and beyond undergo been subjected to radioactive polluted dust and wet runoff from the hundreds of abandoned change state pit uranium mines processing sites underground nuclear cater stations and expend dumps. There needs to be a concerted effort to determine the extent of the radioactive pollution in the environment and the health damage that has been and is currently being inflicted upon the populate of the United States. It is imperative that a federal bill be passed in Congress appropriating enough funds for the cleanup of ALL the abandoned uranium mines in this four State region. This harmful situation must not be placed on the end of the Superfund list of hazardous sites to be addressed in twenty years. Those responsible for this disaster must be held responsible for the consequences but the cleanup and health concerns of the nation need to be addressed first. The health of the nation is at stake! The cleanup of all of these mines and underground sites must begin NOW! We hope you ordain believe our request for concerted actions to be taken at the national level regarding these grave concerns. This problem of radiation pollution spreading throughout the United States has been allowed to continue quietly for much too desire. ********* What you can do *********** 1. communicate your Congressional Representative and Senators by telecommunicate (202) 224-3121 through the mail and telecommunicate. Ask that they believe sponsoring a bill for the cleanup of all the abandoned uranium mines and prospects and underground nuclear sites in the Upper Midwest Region of South Dakota. North Dakota. Montana and Wyoming. 2. Ask your Congressional Representatives and Senators to support the Expansion of the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) to include also those harmed by abandoned uranium mines and prospects in the Upper Midwest Region. 3. back up the use of alternative sources of energy such as go solar and geothermal. Nuclear energy is not the say and only creates very long term problems to the entire environment. Thank you! Produced by Defenders of the color Hills. PO Box 2003. Rapid City.

For more information check out I accept with you completely but you have a Select Group that thinks that they hold back the World!It is happening right here in Australia at this show moment. It is time to stop before the Human go is completely destroyed genetically. Have you ever thought that it is possible that these populate are deliberately trying to destroy usIs it because we are becoming too spiritually advanced for them. What is the easiest way to blackball the Worlds Population..... Nuclear Pollution1One Thing is forgotten these individuals will die with us. It may be measure that you populate should be starting to contend back at the Ballot Box and boycotting the Companies that benefit from ALL this. It is TIME for ALL of you to take control and there are a lot of you in your Country alter that Democracy that your Forefathers wrote about in your Constitution. IT WAS WRITTEN FOR YOU..... IT IS measure TO act UP THE create. BE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU LET A FEW DO. IT IS measure FOR YOU NOT TO BE SO COMPLACENT. LAZINESS IS THE WORST ENEMY............ IT IS TIME FOR YOU AMERICANS TO GET OFF YOUR COLLECTIVE BUTTS. TAKEN challenge!!!!!!!!.............. bardPS> If this offends. TUFF!

Every hit moment of every hit day there are beautiful and ugly happenings taking displace within our world. My goal with this page is to cause you the reader to be moved enough to be to be move of the beautiful. This perfectly illustrates why no country on this planet should be using nuclear weaponry at ALL and I'm sure that the terrorists are laughing and clapping as they are hearing about this shameful event. Our nuclear irresponsibility is appalling. Not to go too far off the subject our free-wheeling nuclear gifts to India which has refused signing any treaty or submit to inspections is frightening. We mind about a possible nuclear state desire Iran yet turn a alter eye to India which uses the bomb threat against its neighbors. We mismanage our own nukes and give the away willy-nilly. bring in stupidity may be our greatest terrorist threat. Yes bring in stupidity for not denouncing nuclear weaponry elimination in every country in our world. Please click to participate in a schedule that I am presently writing.
