Lightning

Just try to imagine this: you’re in some war-torn desert overseas; rifle in hand, bullets are flying all over the place and you and your squad are pinned down! You have never been so scared in your life, you then realize your squad is outnumbered and you think to yourself; will I make it out alive? A call is made for close air support, you don’t know what aircraft is coming, but it just needs to get here fast. Now what would you want to have your back in a situation like that? A stealth fighter…

However, a drone is really not a play toy as some people might think it to be. It is a sophisticated device that needs to be controlled properly or it can…

Percy Jackson is a hero; not only does he follow the hero’s journey but also he is brave and loyal. He never gave up no matter how many trials and challenges he had to face and in the end, it truly paid. Percy Jackson is a troubled…

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…

The F-4 Phantom was the creation of some forward thinking individuals with-in the McDonnell Aircraft Company.

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…

football in the rain. He looked at me and smiled like he knew I would score a goal, and passed the ball. As soon as the football hit the net, a loud sound ruptured the air. I looked back and saw the most horrific sight of my life. Abid was struck by a lightning, and it melted him in half, literally. He was smiling while the creamy brain was coming out in a corner of his head. It was like when you fry an egg and the spoon touches the corner of yolk and it spills all over the egg white. My friends…
