F-4 Phantom II

“The Enterprise at that time was the nation's only nuclear-powered carrier. She had been commissioned in 1962, and two conventional, oil-fueled, large-deck carriers--the America (CVA-66) and the John F. Kennedy (CVA-67)--had been constructed subsequently. The Navy had asked for a nuclear-powered carrier in each case,” (holloway n.p.). After the Enterprise hit the sea the government started asking for more and more nuclear powered aircraft carriers the Enterprise started the way we build aircraft carriers to this day. When the Enterprise was deactivated in 2012 America thought the Big E had no more to contribute to the country but they were wrong in more ways than one. USS ENTERPRISE (CVN 65) will continue to serve on as more than $100 million of her equipment is reused and installed aboard NIMITZ and FORD class aircraft carriers. (navy line n.p.) The Enterprise is helping America once again by recycling! But we need another carrier at sea…

The predecessor to the F-4 Phantom II was the F-3H Demon. In 1953, McDonnell took the Demon and set out to improve on it to create…

budget cut of $1 billion. I have cut my budget of $200 billion to $199 billion by cutting $57 million from the military, $22 million from food and agriculture, $14 million from transportation, and lastly $7 million from energy and environment. Each one of these cuts were made strategically, with a logical reasoning behind them. Within the military budget, I have cut $57 million. A majority of this cut comes from the cancelling of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program. The F-35 Joint Strike…

One reason why they disapprove the applicability of drones is, drones will kill innocent people and traumatize local populations. There has been a meta-study that found out between 8 percent and 17 percent of innocent people, civilians, have been killed by drone strikes. Multitudinous people are scared to do what they want to do just in view of the fact that they fear that a drone strike will kill them all. As I said before the percentage of civilian fatalities has dropped massively. In World…

Introduction When it comes to maintaining and supporting legacy aircraft such as the F-16 within today’s Air Force inventory, the logistics scheme currently in use includes distinct and separate information systems for repair, supply, maintenance personnel and skills, mission planning and post-mission debriefings. They are standard for the Air Force and used by other fleets (Butler, 2013). With the introduction of the Joint Strike Fighter program, the F-35 will replace several aircraft…

In the 1996 case of Leonard v. PepsiCo, John Leonard is not entitled to the Harrier Jet that PepsiCo advertised in their Super Bowl commercial. Leonard is not entitled to the jet because any reasonable person would notice the intended puffery and jest that PepsiCo put into their commercial. In certain circumstances, there are legal issues that arise with advertising, in whether they are, or are not legally binding (Cohen, 2000). In the majority of cases, advertisements are a mere invitation to…
