Re: What color is the sky in your world?

I'm hardly cheerleading for the TSR2, as I have no idea about the specifics of that aircraft. I jumped in only because I happen to know a little bit (professionally, I might add) about this field, and because I saw some completely illogical statements being made.

What I do know, though, is that if the aircraft has already gone supersonic in a test flight, they have some idea how the aircraft performs. So you might not be able to tell whether it would have passed all of its OPEVAL milestones (or what mods would have to be made in the process), but you can tell if it's a dog or not. Dismissing anything short of a completed OPEVAL program by calling such an aircraft a "paper aircraft" is ludicrous.

As for ad hominem attacks: you've been consistently unwilling to listen to any opinions that don't fit with your distorted view of the world. Given that you insist of referring to an aircraft that has broken the sound barrier as a "paper aircraft," we shouldn't be surprised that pointing out your errors is an "ad hominem attack."
