Oh, for fonging sake!  Are we now trying to prove or disprove the existence of secret military aircraft by analyzing the grammar of non-native English speakers?  Well, fong me sideways on a pogo-stick!

colsie is from Scotland which (at the moment anyway) is part of the UK. Contrary to popular belief their native language is English. :P :D


I have a friend from Glasgow and another from the Shetland Islands. If I have not seen them for a while, I can just about understand one word in three until I have tuned back into it ;D

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I thjoguht american got rid of there black birds because A) They continusley crashed because they where ram jets

B) START Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty. Im not big on military jets but is that not why?

Another question if we have planes going at mach 10 wouldnt someone hear a noise and it would have to be what basically is space operating as a ram jet.

Also can someone tell me this supposedly Area 51 and Area 19 have runways which disappear unless sprinkled wiht water and runwyas whihc are 25 and 4 miles long. What kind of plane has to have that kind of runway (well my landings do in a cessena but im not professional).


The SR-71 doesn't have a RAMJET.

A runway that doesn't show without water?  Doesn't make any sense to me, and I don't see the point in hiding a runway no matter how big it is.  The space shuttle uses a huge runway and I believe there's a huge runway at some airbase in Russia (saw something on TV about it a LONG time ago).  

EDIT:

I've been reading all the posts, and I have to say colsie if you just left more space between distinct thoughts it would be more understandable.  I mean use periods more often or write multiple paragraphs like I do.


Oh, also, one thing about the Aurora....the plane doesn't exist.  If it did we would know by now.  There is absolutely no concrete evidence to it's existence, and no matter how stealth or how fast the thing is I get a feeling that at somepoint someone would have found a way to prove it's existence.  And unless the military is using it to spy on people they shouldn't be spying on, then I see no real reason to hide it.  I mean EVERYONE knows that the military uses sattelites and UAV's to spy on other countries.  Heck, YOU can use sattelites to spy on other countries, just download google earth.  There's that whole 'black helicopter' thing and the 'secret' Chinese submarine and who knows what else we can find!

I'm curious, and maybe it was mentioned, but does anyone know when the Aurora was supposedly constructed?  It seems to me like it's existence has been rumored for a LONG time....maybe too long to even be worthwhile anymore because chances are if XX number of years ago the military was advanced enough to make something like the Aurora don't you think they would have something much better now?

I put basically operating in space as a ram jet im saying it may as well be one. Its useful to have invisible r/w ? no idea to stop commericals etc from getting near it or wanting to land on it. Quicky to you all would they accept a commerical emergency there if it was truely life threatning or something as well.

Area 51 is restricted airspace, no commercial would go near it.  I doubt they would accept a commercial emergency to be completely honest with you.  Area 51 is so top secret that the government denied its existence for years, and I don't know if I've ever seen them definitively acknowledge it.  If you watch any of the TV programs about it you'll see how tight security is.

Part of why I don't see a hidden water runway as viable is because with super expensive and apparently unstable and possible unsafe planes why would you make the runway slick by splashing water on it?

Ive decided too add one more thingy to the AURORA piece. I dont know if its true or not so post your thoughts im not stadnign by this my uncle is. He is an emirates pilot and obviously you get pilot talk. He was telling me that a fellow pilot accidently flew into that airspace and saw bullet shaped plane with two engines in black the pilot was quickly rushed away in two minutes and the plane he had seen put on full power (he thinks) and done a very steep climb wiht a blue flame out the bakc of the engines. Once again speculation but thoguht id through more into the spanner works. I wont stand by it I dont personally believe it. Thought someone here might like too know.
