Khorat

[sparkomatic 7]

so...after my rant, a kind gentleman showed me the Khorat that AD (and if others worked on it to bring it to the game, thank you as well) built...I have been to Khorat and flown out of Khorat and sweated in its buildings and eaten Thai food and wondered what I had drank the night before all the whilst cavorting with Thai and Sing fighter pilots and built warplans in Khorat...a very good friend of mine was a maintenace officer at Khorat and watched those glorious Thuds roar into battle from its loving, albeit sweaty, arms

 

the model built was intended to represent the base in its heyday during the Viet Nam war when Thuds were launching to fend off communism, the Red Menance, from yet another nation

 

it is a work of art...the fence line is even uncomfortably close to the threshold like it should be...one of the buildings that I used to work in? recognized it from the air

 

if you dont have this mod...get it...live it...love it...be a part of it...we squawk about realism and we want a game that is fun and gives us a bit of a taste of what it would be like to be a modern Knight, a combat pilot in his element, war. this mod does wonders to enliven that experience and build a step closer to that idea, the very idea that this industry ws based on in the first place...suspending reality and letting be whomever we want

 

In the Thai language, Nakhon Ratchasima, is a wonderful place and rich in history and culture...from a female warrior who saved her people single-handedly from an invading army, to premiere air base dealing with the very threat of the end of the Western way of life so oddly removed from anything Western, to the movie set for Mortal Kombat...this place has seen a lot...literally thousands of Americans and her Allies have passed through here, brothers-in-arms to keep the peace and preserve life...and this doesnt even mention the incredible Thai people and all they have done and the fantastic allies they have been and the culture of theirs that is beyond compare

 

I just want to say thanks, this base means a lot to me, and this mod makes me remember that place succinctly

 

This is what this community is all about

 

Thank you again, and if you are ever in my part of the world (or vacationing in Thailand) AD, consider you alcohol on my tab

 

cheers
