"Short clip of the Lavi I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWVxFZp-ZLc To me, it looks like an F-16 in the front, a Mirage in the rear, and it has the canards of the EuroFighter Typhoon, decades before."Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Duncan, Final thought on the Lavi (video clip below). From a technological standpoint, I think it could have been a great plane. Some said it might have out-performed the F-16. But... When America is supplying your air-force with F-16s and F-15s at a DEEPLY discounted price, I'm not sure it's cool to build your own plane, for domestic and foreign consumption, which will be a competitor to those you are getting from your friend (America). The U.S. probably should have made it conditional that to accept the 15s and 16s had a strict non-competition clause either written or un-written."Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Duncan, Lavi is a young tiger. Kfir is a bear cub. The Kfir was the first indigenous fighter here. In Israel it was quickly replaced by the F-15, but it saw a lot of export to the Third World. The "flying wing" was a big dream of many designers, but as you mention, instability was deadly. Not until computer tech caught up was it made possible. Perhaps it's time to add some new submission tabs for BizSugar articles? Humor/Satire, Music, and Aviation :) I used to hit the airshow circuit quite a bit with a friend of the family. I guess it probably started when I was about five. I guess things like that can be the catalyst for a kid becoming an aviation enthusiast. I'm no expert in tech aspects of planes, but I still love just driving up to the airport, sitting outside on the obeservation deck and watching planes land and take off. I could stay there for hours and never get bored! Yoni "Duncan Campbell (businessavante) Appreciation Day on BizSugar: Happy Anniversary Mister Moderator!
"Starting at 1:50 of this video especially...I just don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful bird. Not sleek, not the hottest thing in the sky, but there's just something that makes me say WOW! If I was offered a free ride in the jet of my choice, this would be the one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoXtuaBKb00&feature=related "What Drives Word of Mouth Conversations? - Search, TV, Social Media?
"I find that a nice pint drives conversation - in a business meeting/dinner sense in this context - and for that, I always turn to your homeland's most famous export...Guinness. Word of mouth, as anachronistic as it seems in this crazy world gone mad, is still huge. Yoni"Do You Want The Good News Or The Bad News First?
"Susan I like Jackie's comment on your blog page: "This sort of reminds me of a Dr Phil Comment – “Do you wanna be right or do you wanna be happy.” Nice point! It kind of reminds me of the old Meat Loaf song "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad." I want you, I need you, But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you, Don't be sad, 'cause two out of three ain't bad. There's the good and the bad. He wants her and needs her. Now how can she make him love her? It's about marketing. She has to lay all of cards on the table and make that final marketing pitch. She has to convince him that she's the solution to what he's looking for. maybe he'll say no in th end, like people, customers and clients do, but by making that pitch, being flexible and going for it, she'll know that she gve it her all! Great article from you as always, though it did bring a rather sad song to mind. Your fan, Yoni "Subscribe

"My faves of all-time: P-38 Lightning P-47 Thunderbolt Lancaster Bomber In terms of looks only, I think my all-time favorite is the A-7 Corsair. I don't know what it is, but I just love the looks of it. "
