Hagar is really an emotionally explosive person.  that's when Doug comes in, beats him up and pounds some sense into Hagar.  Since this happens off-line, we never see the dark side of Hagar.

Must be my age. I'm not one to take life too seriously & leave that to the youngsters. I come here for a little lighthearted relief, like most of the regulars. If I want problems to worry about there's plenty out in the real world. I find a sense of humour helps a lot. I never trusted anyone without a sense of humour & I've come across plenty in my time.

PS. If you want fireworks I can send for this little guy.

It's funny how a thread can start on one side of the earth and end up on the backside of the moon in distance away.

From what I can tell, the Britt AH-64's are either built under licence or under loan to them, from the sites I've been to it isn't clear.

I work at the Boeing Plant in Mesa AZ where the Apache is built.  The first 8 were built here.  After that the fuselages are built here and shipped to Westland in the UK where they are completed.  Its a joint venture between Boeing and Westland.

doug,i could do better with an a-bomb...

Yes, they burn their tails off when shooting...
and most of the helicopter crews prefer a Mi-24 instead of their far-too-expensive toy, especially in afghanistan

I was a civilian field representative for the Martin Marietta Corp (Now Lockheed Martin) supporting the targeting/Night vision systems on the Apache during the Gulf war in 1991.

I meant it in the sense that it is funny how a thread can start on one topic and end up competely nothing like how it started.

P.S. Come to think of it I saw that discover wings episode too, and yes he's telling the truth.

This usually happens when I get involved. I can't think why. LOL

Maybe I'd better keep quiet for a while.

i just didn't want the proof from a second guy. more from an official source,like jane's or FAS.  ::)
