Ron White is correct. You can't fix stupid.

I also hope someone is bright enough to have the pilots check the aircraft’s tire inflation prior to take off. The President says proper tire inflation is key to saving fuel.

‘Cept for Air Force One, which can fly anywhere it wants, as high as it wants and as fast as it wants.

You are right, they are MORONS in charge of our Armed Forces.

[PLD]

I think you will save more fuel if you make the free loaders in the white house stop taking their friends and themselves on vacation every week...

Are you morons trying to kill our pilots?

[Pollster1]

Think of the fuel they would save if they practiced tactics in these babies - operating costs are FAR lower per hour than traditional USAF platforms.

Meanwhile, it is “Full Steam Ahead” on social spending and “green investments.”

Another tip for the Air Force is to draft behind jumbo jets like the 747 when at cruising altitude. Depending on how close you follow, you can achieve up to 39% fuel savings.

Also, when it's time to land, just shut the engines off and coast on down. It's a good way to sharpen up your coasting skills.

> Air Force tells pilots to slow down to save fuel

Not only does it save fuel, it makes it easier for the enemy to get a fix on our guys.

You cannot fix stupid, but they feel so good about voting a black man as president.

Too bad he was not qualified to do the job.

Spoken like a supply ckerk, Kevin Geiss.

Any of you guys read the article? These are cargo planes.
They are learning fuel savings from commercial cargo carriers.
Headline may be a little misleading, the speed reduction is a small part of the savings. From 584 to 568, 16mph. Savings of a billion by going to new engines, minor operational changes etc.

I see this as the military working smart, unlike the rest of the government.

[blueunicorn6]

I hope they’re all going 55mph and wearing sweaters.

[BlatherNaut]

Wow, they've saved a whopping $2.4 million!

That savings can be put toward the $50 million in US Navy-coordinated military construction projects Obama plans to fund in Kenya.

Also, don't forget $15 per gallon "bio" jet fuel the Air Force & Navy are playing with.
Worry not,fellow Americans, our nation is in good hands, shepherded by the insane assylum patients.

Commanders should order all 4,693 aircraft to fly high and slow until election time (high oil). ;-)
