      Looks like something I would build, out of plywood and 2X4s.

        I was thinking something an 8 year old kid would draw.

          And that's not a coincidence.

            Ugly and slow. I was in the 5 minute alert airplane and we were launched when it was detected by the E-2 100 miles away. It would be seen by either the Hawkeye or a destroyer and then lost I never got a radar lock and our doppler radar could not see it because it was so low and slow, at about 159 knots and 50? altitude. We had to have the flaps and gear down and still could not fly that slow. They flew down the flight deck and you could almost hear the cameras clicking.

              Sounds almost like a stall speed to me. I guess for a spy plane with camera's slow is what you need though.

                  Suppose to be a mail plane. That would be like shooting at the mail carrier, UPS truck, FedEx van, etc... Fun but there would probably be consequences.

                    Get rid of Biden and Harris NOW! There's the solution. Repubs/conser. will have to work together. If the pure bloods of either group cannot accept anyone other than their absolute perfect preference of a candidate, then the demoks will win. All the screaming and shouting in th eworld will not change that. Sincerely. bruce.

                      Would that we could get rid of them -- and about 90% of the Congress as well.

                        If we could get rid of them we wouldn't have them in the first place.

                            I think that the response is to tell Putin that if he uses a nuke, you will provide a couple of nukes to Ukraine to use as they like. You might then issue a warning to Moscow and St Petersburg
