I’m mixing my movie metaphors, I’m afraid. The headline is a reference to Dr. Strangelove, but an article in today’s New York Times is more reminiscent of The Manchurian Candidate.

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters, April 5) - An Ethiopian Court has sentenced to death five top military officers of former Marxist ruler Mengistu Haile Mariam, for air raids that killed hundreds in an open market in 1980. The state-run Ethiopian News Agency on Saturday said the five officers were sentenced for the raid at Hawzen, along with five others given life sentences and four given terms of 19 years. All were tried and sentenced in absentia.Ethiopian Air Force officers were accused of bombing Hawzen in the northern Tigray region, killing hundreds of civilians on a market day on June 23, 1980, prosecutors said.Ethiopia has been trying former official of Mengistu's regime for the past 14 years for horrific killings carried out under his rule.Most are in exile after rebels including the current pr

It's all the rage for superpowers to shoot down satellites.  So the U.S. Air Force is planning to field a capability to counter an anti-satellite weapon by 2011, reports Aviation Week & Space Technology.

So the U.S. Air Force and the People's Republic of China have something in common - they both ban blogs - according to a recent Wired article titled "Air Force Blocks Access to Many Blogs". Given the length of time, and amount of money, that the Chinese administration has limited access to blogs with the Great Firewall of China perhaps the U.S. Air Force should ask them for some help. Hilariously (sic) the article goes on to say this: At least one senior Air Force official calls the squeeze so "utterly stupid, it makes me want to scream." It's not hard to see that this is an almost impossible task, it's an Internet technology security arms race between the users and there respective administrations. The same senior Air Force official also identifies some of this saying: "I'm

Diamonds are popping up everywhere. There’s the diamond iPod, diamond bikini, diamond skull but do you know what’s missing? A pair of diamond sneakers. Well, it seems someone has already thought of that and, to fill the gap in the market are the $50,000 diamond Nike Air Force 1’s.

After Singapore Airlines - first to get Airbus A380 now there are some rumors that this Airbus A380 is being considered by the US Air Force (USAF) as a cargo freighter and as a large VIP transport in the Air Force One class. Apparently EADS answered to two separate inquiries by the USAF’s Air Mobility Command (AMC) about the A380, last summer. The first call was for the data about the A380F Freighter for potential use as a military air lifter. The company will probably make a presentation regarding the same in December to AMC officials. The move (on USAF’S part) may stem from the ongoing review of a potentially over-budget re-engining and reliability improvement programme for the Lockheed Martin C-5 fleet. USAF officials were not immediately available to comment. It is also believed that the AMC had also asked for data regarding three Airbus jets as part of a market survey for “VIP Large Aircraft Recapitalization.” They wanted info on the A380, A340-600 and A3

Northwest Territorial Mint This year, the U.S. Air Force is celebrating its 60th Anniversary in grand fashion. A new monument was recently dedicated in the nation’s capital to mark this milestone and special events are being held nationwide throughout the year to further celebrate the achievement. In 2006, Northwest Territorial Mint created a special 60th anniversary commemorative medallion at the request of U.S. Air Force officials. Perfectly capturing the theme of “Heritage to Horizon,” this 1 ¾-inch medallion features a rendering of the official 60th anniversary emblem on the obverse and a World War II-era flying ace on the reverse. The medallion was struck in a brass alloy and brushed with antique finish. A splash of red enamel accents the star incorporated in the obverse design. To achieve the exceptionally high relief featured on this medallion, special dies called “splash” dies were used. Unlike standard coining dies, these dies permit some of the coin m

I don’t know how I forgot to mention this. A few days ago the President was not too far from here and R and I were coming home from the grocery store…she was heading into the house with some groceries and I was at the trunk of my car in the garage and heard a LOUD plane. I really thought it was coming down, it was so loud! I ran out to see where/what was going on and realized it was a huge plane (we usually don’t have many large planes come that low over us). So I yelled to Riley to come out and look. She was pretty excited that it was so close/big…and loud!

Supposedly in response to that B-52 bomber with live nukes attached that flew from North Dakota to Louisiana, the entire Air Force will stand down this Friday for a security review.On the eve of September 11th, the day when NORAD was nowhere to be found, this makes me nervous.

Air force recruiting is done by defense air force concerns. Air force recruiting occurs allover the world whenever there is a need of air force people for the army. The mission of Air Forces Recruiting is to recruit quality men and women with the right skills, at the right time, in the right numbers to sustain the combat capability of Air Force. Emphasis is on recruiting people with no prior military service into one of more than 150 enlisted career opportunities.

The United States Air Force is actively seeking "cyberspace attack scenarios," according to documents posted on a government Web site for contractors. The attack strategies should "disrupt, deny, degrade, destroy or deceive an adversary's information system," according to the Air Force Requests for Information (RFIs) obtained by ABC News. Experts say so much of military logistics are dependent on computer systems that any kind of disruption would give the attacker an advantage.Earlier this year Estonia claimed that state-sponsored Russian hackers had attacked official Web sites in retaliation for the removal of a Soviet-era monument in its capital, Tallinn. Government e-mail and private online banking had to be shut down temporarily while telecommunications companies and news organizations were also affected. More...

Literally. According to ABC News, about $10 billion of the Pentagon’s budget this year will go to nontraditional spending. Not interesting until you know some of the things they might spend it on. Three years ago, for instance, the military funded a study of psychic teleportation, which resulted in a 88-page result concluding that moving through mind powers is “quite real and can be controlled.” Sorry, Air Force Research Lab, it’s been done already, with a sequel. Other possibilities include armor that makes you invisible and armed sharks that spy on the enemy. No doubt there’ll be a few invisible shark-heroes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Perhaps the best is the request from an Ohio Air Force labaratory for $7.5 million of our tax money for the purpose of creating a “gay bomb.” Theoretically, it will use strong aphrodisiacs to make enemies so attracted to each other that they’d have no time to fight. “We spend a lot of time talking to t

I am simply sick of people going on and on and on about how incompetent the Sri Lankan air force is!“We have better aircraft…what are we doing with them” “What were we doing till they came, bombed and left?” “How come we let them get away?”People seem to be of the notion that Kfirs, MIG’s, F7’s and the MI-24 Helicopter gun ships are all we need to knock the LTTE out of the skies…and what’s worse is the fact that you proclaim this shallow opinion in public as if it was a hard fact…even the newspapers carry articles implying that we should have “given chase” etc!Firstly the famed Kfir’s…Search the net and you will come to learn that Kfir’s are classified as “multi role fighters” meaning they are capable of attacking both ground and air targets...however

I wonder why the Air Force has to be separate from the Army in the first place. The reason I don't support the Marines or the Navy integrating into the Army is because of their long traditions and the somewhat different cultures they've developed. Most people would agree that Marines are different from personnel in the other services. I won't get into it because there's a bunch of them here and some of the Army guys are ex-Marines as well. You're free to contribute, however. Anyways, combining the Army and Air Force, would save a bunch of money and help both services. It's not unprecedented either; the Air Force was part of the Army before World War II. Anyways, I don't think we're different enough to justify our separation.

Given that the Presidential Propaganda Catapult is jetting about America slinging rocks and stones at wide swaths of Democrats in only republican red-style states in front of vetted audiences, this one reporter has a very good question: Q What’s the President’s relevance right now?
