squadron

If your radar can't tell the difference between a windmill farm and an approaching squadron of hostiles, the problem is in the radar, not the windmill.

Call up a squadron of K-Max's with a suspended water bucket and that's a very interesting experiment.

The Thrawn Trilogy and Rogue Squadron were probably the best book series in the EU and unfortunately they were dropped.

The West Africa Squadron (Royal Navy) is established to suppress slave trading; by 1865, nearly 150,000 people freed by anti-slavery operations.

It's difficult to appreciate this when you grow up watching films like the Dambusters and 633 Squadron and seeing these guys as heroes.

Bear in mind that determining the legal status of a given bit of IP is generally the slow and expensive work of a squadron of attorneys.

Members of the squadron, including Wilson, told their commander they wanted to fly without the filter but were informed that anyone who refused would face disciplinary action.

Combined with the specialised bomb sights used by the squadron who dropped the Tallboys, successfully bombing a small target such as a viaduct or railway line was doable.

Bovril Er, I'm afraid I don't quite follow you, Squadron Leader.

I originally enlisted in the Navy as an Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM), and my first command was an F-14 squadron where I was assigned to airframes.

You have a few superhero stories exploring these themes (eg, The Authority or the old Squadron Supreme miniseries from the 80s), but yes, most superheroes seem to lack ambition and imagination.

Then, even if you outfit this Predator swarm with an UberMissile, you'll have blown your cost equation out of the water when this swarm comes up against SAMs, or a squadron of F-16s.

In my dad's time (he was "almost" a WW2 veteran, he was gonna fly on the second Mexican squadron, but the war ended before Mexico sent that squadron), being a pilot was comparable to being a movie star.

We're nowhere near the point where we can maintain effective communications with a squadron of drones big enough to do real damage, and the "automated killer drone AI" isn't close yet either.

Although the nitpicker in me has to point out that the film is heavily edited to fit the dialogue (there's a shot at about 3'25" where you can see them bombing a paper cross pinned to the cliff which is taken from earlier in the film when 633 squadron are training in the Scottish highlands).

An Accuracy in Media report quotes Cmdr Tom Sobiek, commanding officer of Fighter Squadron VF-124, as saying of the 4 female pilots in his squadron that "the women are going to graduate regardless of how they performed" and reports that "the Navy was in a race with the Air Force to get the first female fighter pilot".[7] I concede there is no 50% quota and should not have written "equal number" in that sentence.

Squadron Leader Banter's not the same if you say it slower, Squiffy.

Squadron Leader It's perfectly ordinary banter, Squiffy.
