I bet your not the only one. Should we start a company to build it ? There should be some extremely qualified guys available since they are shutting down NASA.Wouldn't this be child's play for them ??

Both NASA and the USAF tried back in the 50's and 60's, couldn't make it work, even with state of the art electronics and computer controlled avionics its nearly impossible. Did you know that the AV8B Harrier is the most complicated aircraft to fly just because of its VTOL capability?

The Rolls Royce Pegasus engine in the AV8B Harrier can consume 1 gallon per second at full military power, of course that's giving you 37,500hp at sea level. Did you know that Jet A fuel is cheaper than gasoline right now, the national average is $3.05 a gallon, what the heck?

Not my buddy SS, our president yes, but not my buddy Per se. Did you know that the 727 million barrels in the reserve would last us less than 30 days at the present rates of consumption?

Just be thankful we haven't hit European pricing levels, if it ever hits $12-16 a gallon here, there will be rioting in the streets. You aren't going to turn into a manifesto writing hermit are you?

Hardly annoying SS, now if you made a high pitched screeching noise while pounding on garbage can lids, we'd have to talk. So which sound bugs you the most, squeaks or rattles?
