Fighting Wild Fires

Asthe USAF is about to retire its fleet of KC10 Entenders in-flighr refuelling aircraft, this woud be a great opportunity to convert these planes to spray water on wild fires, an improvement on the current praatcice of using helicopters, with a bucket. Thousands of pounds of water in one pass, could more efficently control wild fires as California is presently experiencing. This could also be a worldwide service, offered to all. 161.29.239.133 (talk) 03:19, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Talk pages are really meant for article improvement (see WP:TALK#USE), not general discussion. Regards -Fnlayson (talk) 03:33, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft flown and Armed Forces sidebar

The aircraft flown section of the infobox and the Armed Forces sidebar are taking up significant sections of the page space and bunching the images in particular in the Mission, vision, and functions section. They may have been non-disruptive in previous versions of wikipedia, but since it moved to the new GUI they seem to be disrupting the flow of the page.

I don't think we need the aircraft flown section since there are so many and they are covered later in the page and the Armed Forces sidebar is redundant with Template:United States Armed Forces at the bottom of the page.

I'm proposing removing either one of these or both of these to restore the flow of the page. Aerospace8672 (talk) 02:48, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

FWIW it renders fine for me in both Monobook and Vector; though it takes up significantly less room in Monobook, it's not unreadable or disruptive IMO in either one. ⇒SWATJester ^{Shoot Blues, Tell VileRat!} 03:19, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think what I'm seeing is that it's pushing the F-35 image below the Air Superiority section, which the source seems to show its suppose to be tied to. Aerospace8672 (talk) 14:21, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
