resistant armor. In other countries, such as the United Kingdom, law enforcement officers wear combination armor. Next, let’s talk about body worn camera these are very important. This could help put a lot of people in jail or even corrupt officers. In a sample of police departments surveyed in 2013, approximately 75 percent of them reported that they did not use body-worn cameras. The survey was funded by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services and conducted by the Police Executive Research

In the article, “Beware of the Concorde Fallacy,” the British and French continued the support of Supersonic Transport Aircraft’s even though they had tremendous cost over runs and caused economic reason. Every company needs to spend money to make money and those start up costs for companies are considered sunk costs because you cannot get that money back. The expenses that are paid are permanently gone which make it a sunk cost. In my definition a sunk cost is the time and money that is gone that

designed to be a heavy ordinance laden attack aircraft. The cockpit and flight controls are also heavily protected by titanium plating that surrounds it all. It has the makes-up of a flying tank2. It can carry 16 thousand pounds of ordinance on eight different munition stations. This includes a multitude of MK-82s, MK-84s, AGM-65 missiles, and AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles1. The gun system plays such an integral part role of the aircraft design that the aircraft was built around it2. It makes up 16 percent

Career Day C/Carkhuff This year’s career day was filled with entertaining and charismatic officers who offered insight to a wide array of Air Force careers. These included a C-17 pilot, intelligence officer, cyberspace operations officer, and a retired loadmaster. Captain Sinewe was a C-17 Globemaster pilot from McGuire AFB. It was very easy to tell that he loved his job in the Air Force. He showed the cadet wing a video from his last deployment, highlighting the awesome experience he had and what

the Do 17 near us, but then, much higher, saw the sun shining on many aircraft -- Spitfires!” -German Lieutenant, Albert Striberny During World War II, aviation played a key role in combat for both the Allied and Axis Powers. Fighter planes were recognized as speedy, maneuverable, and the “thoroughbred” of aviation; they were used for bomber escorts, reconnaissance, and combat. In order to grasp the importance of fighter aircraft in World War II, one must understand the background events leading

I believe the "Right Stuff" is a mix of courage, perseverance, ingenuity, passion for what is being done, and resilience. It takes courage to use ingenuity to go against the tide. It takes passion to use courage to persevere and continue through the toughest of times. And it takes resilience to be able to take many failures and persevere to eventually succeed. I believe that one of the people we should nominate for having the "Right Stuff" is Samuel Pierpont Langley. He had a

Imagine finding yourself in another country in just a couple of minutes isn’t amazing?. Nowadays, thanks to the progression of the technology use, almost everything is a possible to be accomplished. The industrial designer Charles Bombardier, invented a new structure of an airplane by the name of Antipode, that can travel from London to New York in just approximately 11 minutes. The industrial Charles Bombardier created the airplane using rocket boosters to exceed the speed by 12 times faster

On June 26, I was at the Chicago airport waiting to get on an airplane after participating at a conference. We had just been informed that our airplane had been delayed, due to the fact that we were going to be in the Honor Flight. I had no idea what that meant so I was absolutely shocked when I got on the plane and saw that over half of the plane was full of veterans. During the five hour flight I mostly observed the veterans, I realized that the majority of them were elderly and they all presented

“Hard right!” shouted my brother. Immediately, I threw the flight simulator into a massive right turn, hoping to line up for a shot at an enemy. Unfortunately for us, it was a little too massive, and we swung to the side, facing the wrong way. I wrestled the controls, and finally stabilized on target. “Nice shot,” I said, as my brother shot down the fighter we were tailing. We flew forward, and I glanced at the radar. I turned to face the nearest enemy on the radar. However, I had pulled too hard

I learned from reading the 1950's Sunday comics, a surprisingly accurate source of information, that the Air Force was doing the same thing with their experimental aircraft far from prying eyes at remote Edwards Air Force Base in the high desert of California. For no rational left-brain reason, many military pilots considered an assignment to Edwards to be the tip of the career accomplishment pyramid. They lined up to compete for a posting to that hothouse of uncertainty to work as underpaid Test
