Good. That was a lovely thing to do to that kid. I hope he gets enough money out of this to fund him for a full doctorate.

You're reading it wrong. His civil case against the district was thrown out. He's got till June 1st to refile.

My girlfriend's dad was also convinced that this kid was an ISIS plant whose sole purpose was to cause outrage to get himself invited to the White House, so ISIS could probe the WH for weaknesses.

My girlfriend's dad is a nice guy and fun to talk to about cars and stuff, but he's loving retarded when it comes to this stuff.

I think you misunderstand. The kid's lawsuit got tossed. They have a chance to submit an amended suit, but as it is right now the judge granted the school's motion to dismiss and he lost.

quote:

Russian officials bragged in conversations during the presidential campaign that they had cultivated a strong relationship with former Trump adviser retired Gen. Michael Flynn and believed they could use him to influence Donald Trump and his team, sources told CNN.

The conversations deeply concerned US intelligence officials, some of whom acted on their own to limit how much sensitive information they shared with Flynn, who was tapped to become Trump's national security adviser, current and former governments officials said.
"This was a five-alarm fire from early on," one former Obama administration official said, "the way the Russians were talking about him." Another former administration official said Flynn was viewed as a potential national security problem.

Several MiG-29s. Mirage F1s, , MiG-25s and 23s, which are late 3rd-gen fighters.

But yeah. It does count, because that's air superiority. That's what keeps bombs off our guys.

To expand on this, aside from kill:death dickwaving, a fighter that can routinely find, intercept, and kill poo poo is very valuable compared to a plane that just roams around and wins fights it happens into. F-15s are pretty good at keeping enemy air off US troops.

OTOH, remember that time they shot down a couple of choppers while competing with Viper squadrons to get the highest kill counts?

https://theaviationist.com/2014/09/15/f-15-lands-with-one-wing/

quote:

The F-15 is not only a famous MiG Killer.

The legendary Eagle is also a very robust aircraft, that can survive some serious damages. As shown by a very well-known incident which occurred in 1983, in the skies over Nahal Tzin in the Negev desert, in Israel, during a mock aerial combat between two Israeli Air Force F-15Ds and four A-4Ns, when one of the Eagles, the F-15D #957 nicknamed �Markia Shchakim�, 5 killmarks, used for conversion of a new pilot named Zivi Nedivi, collided mid-air with one of the Skyhawks.

As explained in No Wing F-15, an interesting piece written by John Easley, Zivi didn�t immediately realize what had happened: he felt a big jolt and saw a huge fireball caused by the A-4 explosion, followed by radio communications according to those the Skyhawk pilot had successfully ejected.

He realized that the F-15 was badly damaged when the aircraft fell in a very tight spiral after a huge fuel leak from its right wing.

After regaining the control of the aircraft Nedivi was ordered to eject but decided not to bail out since he was confident he could land the plane at the nearest airfield, 10 miles away, even thought the F-15 was flying on vapors: he began to reduce speed but the missing right wing (that the Israeli pilot was still unaware of) caused a new spin.

Then just before ejecting, Nedivi decided to light the afterburners, gaining speed and managing to somehow control the F-15 once again.

Once he reached the air base, he lowered the tail hook, touched down at about 260 knots, which was twice the speed recommended for a standard landing, and managed to stop the plane about 10 meters before it engaged the Safeland Airfield Arrester Barrier.
