Is it possible for U.S. Military Transport aircraft....?

I would be more worried as an Royal Military Police Officer why U.S. Military Transport aircraft was given the green light to land in Shannon Airport. You are 100% correct when you say Hercules aircraft can fly from  Oxford in UK to Virginia... You should be asking yourself why  U.S. Military Transport aircraft need to land at Shannon Airport when there are US Air Force Bases within the U.K less than 35 mins from Shannon Airport... \n\nMaybe you are worried about reports of late about CIA Rendition and covert aircraft using Shannon Airport something the Gardai and Irish Defence Forces, have not been investigating the likely criminal use of Shannon airport reasons of torture and unlawful mass murder in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have been overtly and covertly protecting international criminals as they pass through Shannon airport.\n\nBut who would i be to say this could be happening as we all know how the Irish love the USA. you may like to view the links! \n\nRMP Officer

Yes they can!\n\nhttp://www.pspthrume.com/th/sho/index.htm

In the US, see the FAA web site, FAR part 103. The aircraft must not be capable of more than 55 knots calibrated airspeed at full power in level flight.\n\nDo you know there is a special category for aircraft questions?

Although it is possible, It would take a lot of effort and materials to do this. There is also the chance the rocket could fail and could even explode in midair, and I don't think we want to see that.\n\nThere could be a better but similar plan though.

No matter what course an aircraft takes, it is flying in the atmosphere, which rotates with the earth. It is possible to find a jetstream at high altitude, and it will speed your flight if it's in the direction you're traveling. Jetstreams generally flow eastward (same direction as earth's rotation) and can hit speeds of 275 mph (see ref.). Since this is against the Europe-to-America direction, it's unlikely that a jetstream would help such a flight.\nEDIT: The original ref. (now marked [1]) is currently unavailable, but I'm leaving it here because it had an excellent illustration of equatorial-polar convection cells. Ref. 2 has a good graphic of jet stream formation.

someone can get to usa either through air vehicles or water transportation such as a cruise

Actually they are not currently building aircraft carriers of their own....just studying the possibilities.\n\nThey are most likely going to add more of the casino carriers.  They already have 4 of them, Russian ships such as the Kirov and the Kiev.\n\nYup, a copy Nimitz is sitting in a lake now.  Strange huh?\n\nHere it is:\n\nhttp://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&t=k&q=China&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=17&ll=31.10531,121.015059&spn=0.004547,0.010729

Attach a falcon to the prototype.. Think it will fly high! :-)

yes it is possible but not practical, if you want more info contact me.

A plane would only have to travel at approx 1000mph to go around the Earth in 24 hours.  Some supersonic jets easily travel that fast.  Throw in time for slowdowns to meet with tankers and landings to refuel.  I believe that it can be done.  I'm surprised that the government didn't have the Sr71 attempt it during its career.

yes this aircraft is designed for close air support ( cas ) and this is something where he is up to .\nBut boming industrial areas , a larger area , you can better take a Buff for it .

Maybe the military has a unit to resell used parts or vehicles to the public.  Otherwise it would go to a scrap heap for a lot less.

Not in my lifetime.  As long as the USN controls the seas, it won't happen.  Remember, the German army couldn't even get across the English Channel in WWII, and the Chinese Army certainly isn't going to cross the Pacific anytime soon.  Heck, their navy currently isn't capable of extended blue-water operations, much less supporting an amphibious assault all the way across the Pacific.

umm, i don't think so.  the Abrams tank is one of the most advanced tanks.  Not even bradleys can come close. \nyou will need a A-10 air to ground attack plane to destroy them.

Im an Army guy but love old airplanes!! The B-58 Hustler, a supersonic delta wing airplane. It had this cool centerline fueltank/atomic bomb combination. Lots of pages about it....just google Last time I saw one was at Chanute AFB when I was a CAP cadet in 80's   ....Why would a nice lady like you want to know about an old airplane for?? I would talk to the people in the sight i showed you about the patch...look for other sights by typing B-58 in google..lots of sights with people who flew, sombody would know him .

Sounds great! I wish you luck. I was thinking on similar lines myself. You think these contractors would take in former non-US army personnel? Send me details if you come across any please.
