yeah - i saw the Battle Blimp thing, and i'm not so sure about that one. i don't want battles to be decided by something that belongs over a baseball game.

that is a really cool idea bruce, but remember this - aviators are the ones promoted to top positions in the air force. top air force officers generally set the direction for new R&D projects. pilots do not want to give up control of anything, especially control of the aircraft. more important than control of an aircraft (in a pilot's mind) is the relative superiority to all others. in a world where technicians got to wear the flightsuits and not fighter jocks, there would be fighter jocks curled up in fetal positions crying their eyes out.
