A worthwhile charity I support and hope you will too...

BlackFive is supporting a charity that I think is worthwhile and I'm definitely supporting and hope that you will too.  Check out the vid below...



Unless you've been there and done that then you don't realize what a difference something as simple as this can make...I'm especially thinking about the first termers...the guys just out of boot camp and SOI that are away from home for the holidays...some for the first time..and then my heart aches for the guys that got busted up and came home and didn't have a strong family to come back to..or no family.

But do what you think is right.  If you're like me then you'll help....

Photo release: First F-35C catapult launch at NAS Patuxent River

NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND, PATUXENT RIVER, Md. – Navy test pilot Lt. Chris Tabert flies F-35C test aircraft CF-3 off the TC-7 steam catapult at NAS Patuxent River Nov. 4. The launch was the first time the test catapult here launched an F-35C Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter. Previous catapult testing occurred in Lakehurst, N.J. The F-35C carrier variant of the Joint Strike Fighter is distinct from the F-35A and F-35B variants with its larger wing surfaces and reinforced landing gear to withstand catapult launches and deck landing impacts associated with the demanding aircraft carrier environment. Initial carrier trials for the F-35C are scheduled for 2013. The F-35C is undergoing test and evaluation at NAS Patuxent River before delivery to the fleet. (U.S. Navy photo)

Looks like Supacat and Lockheed Martin are teaming up to bring the Jackal Fast Attack Vehicle to US shores.  I personally will not be surprised to see it in a Special Ops compound in the near future.  Awesome vehicle.
