I'd suggest a photocopier but these days most would use their phone.

I'm not sure if they knew or if they'd find out, but now that I have my own license I don't care about that anymore
The Dell empoyee is required to check if the Windows license is valid and he saw that it was a corporate volume license.

I'd bet $1000 bucks that there is nothing wrong with the old SSD drive. I'd bet that the partition was protected by bitlocker and the UEFI BIOS had secure boot enabled.
Congratulations on fixing the PEBKAC error.
Best Wishes,

... but I think the NATO Diesels[^] had to go when they were old enough to be the pilot's dad. Just looking what my old employer has been up to.

His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Maybe they can make an opera about it, the "opera of the Phantom"

These "flying ovens" are outdated like a Window 3.1 PC and will get shut down even my some older MiGs.
It is best to know when its "time to say goodbye"

Politics. The Cold War was over, so the politicians delayed replacing them by 20 years. Lots of money that was saved and since we did not have to shoot at anyone in the meantime...

weapons have two important roles. One is to refuse an attacker and second to menace other. So the real use of them isnt the best way.
To find some rogue regime for an attack is easy

The Phantom was a result of 1950's design (Make it Mach 2!, we have air to air refueling), It got upgrades due to being outclassed by Migs (17 & 21), I still have to agree with test pilot who thought it upside down! Good radar though...

As far as I remember, the first fights with MIGs were in Vietnam. The problem with the early Phantoms was that they had no close range weapons, only missiles. They thought that they could avoid fights at close range that way, but that did not work out very well. To correct this, they added this[^].

Not at first, I was told by a RAF ground crew (retired) I was at uni with him (had a limp from getting blown up in the Falklands, travelled out on Bravo November), that the RAF / Royal Navy F4's had SSU-30 gun pod, which was only loaded with less than half Ammo as firing caused the Tragetting system to lock up and need a reset. You could fire 2 or 3 Bursts touch the trigger let go, if you held it for longer it crash the targetting computer(!)...Intresting Guy, had cancer from the Chenobyl bang as he was the only nuclear qualified member on shift at Gibraltar when a Nimrod did an over fly...

Just as the A-10 Thunderbolt II. A lean approach with a few number of 5th generation multirole machines costs much less in maintenance.
They are iconic, but they're objects... replaceable.

Point, the A-10 was a Jet power IL2 a flying tank... I'd like to see an F-35 stand up the punishment A-10 can!-

In a scenario with highly controlled aerospace it is as good as done, the point is not to resist to a SAM hit but to avoid it altogether - SAM and MANPADS aren't bullets that can be "shrug off". One of those *will* mess up any plane.

The A-10 was designed to be hit and still flyable (something like loose half a wing, an Engine, the pilot sat in an Armoured bath tub!). There is or was a photo of one from Gulf 1, which had taken a MANPAD missle the blew the port engine and tail off  , got the pilot home!

So how did they celebrate when the Erdnagels were pensioned?

Do you mean F-104? I was told the cheap way to get one was to buy a field on the Dutch / German boarder and wait!

Also called the flying coffin.
I understand about a third of them crashed before being phased out.
