The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II is a fifth generation, single seat, single engine, stealth capable multirole fighter, that can perform close air support, tactical bombing, and air defense missions. The F-35 has three different models, one is a conventional takeoff and landing fighter, the second is short takeoff and vertical landing fighter, and the third is a carrier based fighter. The F-35 is intended to be the world's premier strike aircraft through 2040, with close and long range air-to-air capability second only to that of the F-22 Raptor. The F-35 is required to be four times more effective than existing fighters in air-to-air combat, eight times more effective in air-to-ground combat, and three times more effective in reconnaissance and suppression of air defenses, all while having better range and requiring less logistics support. With takeoff weights up to 60000 lb (27000 kg), the F-35 is considerably heavier than the lightweight fighters it replaces. In empty and maximum gross weights, it more closely resembles the single seat, single engine F-105 Thunderchief which was the largest single engine fighter of the Vietnam era The F-35 is descended from the X-35, the product of the Joint Strike Fighter program. Its development is being principally funded by the United States, with the United Kingdom and other partner governments providing additional funding. It is being designed and built by an aerospace industry team led by Lockheed Martin with Northrop ...

(1980) Raging Bull - 9/13
5:04 PM
Beginning in 1964, where an older and fatter Jake lamotta (Robert De Niro) practices his stand-up comic routine, a flashback shifts to his boxing career in New York of 1941 against his opponent, Jimmy Reeves, in the infamous Cleveland bout. Losing the fight by a fixed result causes a fight to break out at the end of the match.

Accompanied by his brother to the local open-air swimming pool, a restless Jake spots a 15-year-old girl named Vickie at the edge of the pool (Cathy Moriarty). Although he has to be reminded by his brother he is already married, the opportunity to invite her out for the day very soon comes true when Joey gives in. Jake has two fights with Sugar Ray Robinson, set two years apart, and Jake loses the second when the judges rule in favor of Sugar Ray because he was leaving the sport temporarily for conscription in the United States Army. This does not deter Jake from winning six straight fights, but as his fears grow about his wife, Vickie, having feelings for other men, particularly Tony Janiro, the opponent for his forthcoming fight, he is keen ...
