In the latest James Bond flick 'Quantum of Solace' Bond makes an escape by piloting my favorite airplane of all time, a Douglas DC-3. Seconds later he's shot down by an Italian-made circa 1964 Aermacchi SF-260. The obvious high performance of this tiny propeller-driven plane got me to wondering. Has propeller fighter tech continued to advance since WWII and Viet Nam? The answer is an astonishing yes. The state of the art is the Brazilian Embraer EMB 314 Super Tucano. And the US Navy is seriously interested.

- VOKL - Voice Of Ken Lawton
- VOKL is my self-assigned nom-de-blog in the format of a Newfoundland radio call sign. It gives me a name for my voice. And when you say it out loud it's vocal. See? VOKL. This may also reveal a subconcious desire to punnish my readers. I hope you understand. Anyway it's my blog. Start your own blog.
