The F-22 is the newest Fighter in the Air Forces arsenal. The F-22 has trounced the best opponent that the USAF could muster. Despite its youth as a fighter the current pilots consider it to be nearly as reliable as mature F-15 and F-16 fighters. In the following essay we will cover the F-22 program, weapons, stealth, and avionics. I hope to some day be inside the cockpit of an F-22 as a full fledge fighter pilot in the USAF. The F-22 has been projected to be in services for more than 25 years as
serve in this position. As a young boy growing up in northern Michigan I was always obsessed with military aviation. Like many young boys, model aircraft filled my bedroom, everything from P-51 Mustangs and B-17 Flying Fortresses to F-15 Eagles and the beloved F-117 Nighthawk. It was really the latter of these aircraft that has driven my career and life thus far, and it is was the acknowledgement of this aircraft that drove me to love the Air Force. As a high school student I had planned on attending
It goes without saying that employing weapons against enemies of the United States comes with a great amount of responsibility. The Air Force invested considerable time and resources into training me to skillfully execute my mission in the F-15E Strike Eagle. My duty title on paper is Weapons System Officer however, there is always a story behind each and every member of the Air Force that encompasses more than just a duty title. The goal of this essay is to reveal a little bit about my own personal

Introduction and thesis On November 9, 1869, rutgers university faced Princeton university in what is know as the first american football game. But there was many different types of football before american football. One type of football was mob football, where anyone could join any time they wanted. The field was a small town where each team would be able to do anything to in order to score, unless it ended in manslaughter or murder. Also the first footballs were inflated pig bladders. Anyway,

This mission was the product of the space race (race to see who would go into outer space first, against the Soviet Union). This goal was set by President John F. Kennedy on May 25, 1961 and he promised that we would be the first to step on the moon by the end of the decade. The Apollo 11 mission is often cited as the greatest achievement in human history.

special shuttle that was attached to the spaceship; it was called the Eagle. The Eagle was designed to transport some crew members down to the moon. Armstrong was responsible for driving and landing the shuttle safely down to the moon. While on his way down to the moon, Armstrong realized that he was starting to run out of fuel. Thankfully, Armstrong did have enough to land on the moon and make it back up to the spaceship. When the Eagle was leaving the spaceship for the first time up in space, it wasn't
Humans have always been fascinated with the sky and beyond. From the dawn of mankind we have feared, admired and most importantly kept dreaming about the vast unknown space above us. This fascination of ours took various forms be it astronomy, astrology or their various branches. The vast outer space kept pulling us so strongly that we let go of our many fears of the unknown and embarked on a great journey into the outer space to explore and experience it. NASA was one organization which pioneered
first organization to send men onto the moon. It took years for NASA to set up the Apollo 11 mission. They took the technology from past Apollo missions and enhanced it and used it for Apollo 11. Assassinated in 1963 Lyndon B. Johnson preceded John F. Kennedy as President of the United States. Lyndon B. Johnson continued to work on the Apollo 11 project throughout his whole presidency. Voted in office in 1969, Nixon prepared for the launch that was about six months
Endangered species are rare or threatened plants or animals that are rapidly vanishing and becoming extinct. This means they are plants and animals that now exist in only small numbers and soon may be gone forever unless whatever is causing this to occur changes. Maybe as humans, we need to cherish these plants and animals as much as we cherish our material possessions, as after all these may be the most valuable treasures for all of mankind. According to the International Union for the Conservation

I am extremely indebted to both Colin Stanley's The Work of Colin Wilson and Howard F. Dossor's Colin Wilson: The Man and His Mind. This is a fairly comprehensive list of all of Colin Wilson’s major works, although those seeking an impeccably complete reference should consult with Colin Stanley’s book, and its recent supplement. I have also appended a list of his shorter fiction. Wilson has also penned literally hundreds of articles in newspapers and magazines, and he has provided introductions
years have passed since the nationwide ban of a well-known pesticide, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) (1), yet it still has an important role in public health as well as the environment. DDT is a persistent toxin, having a long half-life of 2 to 15 years terrestrially and 150 years aquatically (as cited in 5). It was originally used in World War II to control malaria and yellow fever then became a main staple in pesticide control for crops. Because DDT was a highly effective pesticide for malaria
