EricJ Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Managed to trap the F-4B (67) after some guidance from Nightshade/PR. It's a bit different as last time I think I was just heavy and didn't drop full flaps (the Super Hornet/Growler spoils me with auto flaps), but this time I did. I came in fast as I don't have a speed indicator on the HUD so it makes it a bit hard to judge speed, but I made it without banging up the deck. 9 Quote

Nightshade/PR Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 Glad I could be of assistance. Every now and then, I have to be reminded the F-104 is an Interceptor; not a dogfighter. 5 Quote

EricJ Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 I tried to bomb a concentration of vehicles in an area I knew where they were at for practice. Seems like I need to go to The Range to do better. 7 Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted September 25, 2023 Posted September 25, 2023 But you got back on the deck with the mighty Rhino. Definitely more work than landing the 'Cat. 7 Quote

EricJ Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 "Cheating" on my mission by installing a Pave Spike on my F-4. As far as I know (which isn't much admittedly) that the US Navy didn't carry the Pave Spike, but it's usable on my jet anyway, just so I can use LGBs without flying a Strike mission in-game. 4 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted September 30, 2023 Posted September 30, 2023 yeah, Navy Phantoms didnt carry LGB at all. they left that to the birds in the VA squadrons but its your install, there are no mistakes. go bomb that happy little tree over there ------------------------------- Makos over the Adriatic 4 Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 Once upon a time, I drove an Impala 5 2 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 an Impala helped get my Soldier out of trouble (ish) a long time ago back at Bragg so there we were taking a truck with water trailer back to get more water. suddenly the brakes locked up and we swapped ends, doing a 180 turn WITHIN the confines of a two lane road (no tire marks outside the lines). the trailer was a quarter full of water so the sudden shift caused the trailer to tip over as we came to a stop. but nobody hurt (although the other two Soldiers thought I got thrown when i hooped out as soon as we stopped to check the vehicle and surroundings) they tried saying my driver was speeding. i was able to say she wasnt because immediately before this happened i was looking at an Impala and pissed about the rims they had put on a classic car like that. turned out the trailer had an air leak (wasnt ours but the unit we were attached to at that moment) which drained the air tanks in the truck. once the tanks get empty, bam! truck automatically braked itself to a stop. - - - - - - - - - yeah i know long for an off topic bit. heres a plane 6 Quote
Nightshade/PR Posted October 3, 2023 Posted October 3, 2023 Then you would not have been a fan of mine. Sea Foam Green, 2-door, it had mag wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagles, a 427, and ALL the toys. But I stood to lose it in a divorce in '89, so I traded it in on a Metallic Blue Skyhawk (a model she HATED), so she wouldn't want it. It served me well throuh my 1st stint @ Eglin, sat in storage for a year during the 1st Gulf War; came out for 6 months, and went back into storage for another year when I went to Kunsan, and survived another year in the Florida heat, hurricanes, (ex-gf's), a 4 year tour in Germany, and finally decided here in Wichita that it had been driven & ridden harder and longer than any Kardashian, and gave up the ghost. Speaking of SkyHawks........ 5 Quote
