Waiting for the 19th of this month to get my treatment plan. They took both my tonsils on the 22 April, and the report confirmed the right tonsil to have cancer, and rescheduled my PET scan and MRI for the next two weeks, one on the 8th and the other on the 13th, to see how far it's spread and which lymph more are affected by the cancer in the nuck in both sides. Aside from that, I am okay.

i´m almost done with the F-4E_79_Pave_Spike cockpit and like to share some pictures it took me quite some time to get the LOS ( Line Of Sight ) indicator working , what i did now is to set the LOS needle to work only with LGB bombs and use the roll and pitch limits form the F-4E weapons delivery manual to get the LOS indicator working right we would need a roll and pitch function with regards to the target , since we dont have that i use the ROLL_INDICATOR and PITCH_INDICATOR function the green , yellow and red flags work now as they should except if you fly a looping , at the top of the looping the lights start working where the should not work will see if i can fix that i will update the F-4D_78 cockpit and Buccaneer cockpit with the LOS indicator function LOS green flag = 30° - 65° pitch LOS yellow flag = 65° - 70° pitch LOS Red flag = 70° - 180° pitch LOS needle = -110° to 160° roll

First in game pics It's all coming along now, still need to work on the bump map, low detail LODs, decals, flight model and general testing. I'm not making a dedicated cockpit, so it will use my AH-64D cockpit. Dels

An old mod... the Bird of Prey by Boeing !

Another project, yes

from the Seymour Johnson AFB airshow this yea r today i learned that CAP names their planes T-33 flying demo a few shots from the 4th FW firepower demo and the reason i still went even when everyone else in the family bowed out...... THE HOG!!! not the greatest shots, all taken from my phone camera. but i thought you guys might enjoy they got themselves a new title..........

Soomethinnng new...i think?

just added a little extra to the HSI , there are now 2 lights the NAV and ILS lights , NAV light is on during normal flight if you going to land the ILS light go´s on and the NAV light go´s off on the NAV function selection panel the BEARING/DISTANCE selector knob and the MODE selector knob is on the NAV COMP position , at landing the MODE selector knob is switching form NAV COMP to VOR/ILS the F-4E_79_PaveSpike cockpit has now 229 functions/lights/animations , the original F-4E_78 TW cockpit has 100 , will see if i can add something more let me know if you like the NAV - ILS idea or if i should remove it i try to get as much as possible in that cockpit to work some how

I sincerely appreciate your kindness and prayers; they are invaluable to me. Following a doctor's visit today, a full-body PET scan has been ordered to detect any further cancerous growths (Hopefully none will be found) Additionally, a head and neck MRI is scheduled to rule out brain cancer (I hope it will come negative). I will schedule these appointments tomorrow, aiming for availability within the next two weeks. Your continued prayers are deeply appreciated and provide significant emotional support. Sincerely, Mohamad.

Hellenic Air Force An-12BP "Cub" - Elefsis AB 356 Tactical Transport Squadron 1979 In late 1974 Greece withdrew from NATO military command due to the fact that an another NATO member invaded Cyprus. Turkish invasion forced Hellenic Army to redefine its doctrine. At the time highest rank military officers made it clear to the government that since turkish occupation forces were still on Cyprus keeping their positions and with no intention to withdraw, hellenic air force needed a new military transport aircraft. Existing C-47s (Dakota) were very old (introduced in 1947) and their operational capability was very limited. Noratlas were second hand airframes coming from German surplus with deliveries starting in 1967 but during service many problems appeared and operational capability was in doubt. General Staff of National Defense decided that in the post invasion age a military transport aircraft being able to take off at night from Elefsis AB to Nicosia flying some meters above sea level, dropping at least 50 paratroopers and head back to Elefsis without midair refuel was urgently needed. Now Greece had the option to import non-NATO military equipment. On November 1974 Greek government requested 10 An-12BPs from USSR. Initially soviets were cautious believing that exporting even a relatively old transport aircraft to Greece, more likely western experts would be able to analyze soviet transport aircraft technology. Turkey tried to prevent the request but finally USSR officials saw a historical chance of destabilizing the south-eastern NATO unity. On mid February 1975 the first An-12BP serial 38 landed at Tanagra AB. All An-12BPs landed at Tanagra AB for post delivery evaluation before transfer at their home in 356 Tactical Transport Squadron in Elefsis AB.

80th Anniversary of VE Day today. Let us not forget the greatest generation.

May the force be with you! Happy STAR WARS day!!!!

Atlas Giraffe fighter aircraft program By 1984 SADF thought that Cheetah aircraft which was then under develpoment would not be ready to conduct operations on the ongoing border war. Atlas officials estimated that Cheetah will make its first flight sometime in 1985 with possible introduction to service date sometime in 1987 for the Cheetah E. The latter was regarded by many observers as an interim solution before Cheetah C become operational sometime in the early 90s. Cheetah E was actually a Mirage IIIEZ airframe conversion with some upgrades applied. It was fitted with a relatively simple avionics suite and radar but retained Atar 9C-3 engine. SADF decided that while avionics were good enough to counter FAPLA MiG-23s, lack of medium range air to air missile capability and engine performance were critical problems. With international embargo still active, South Africans decided to launch a parallel program code named "Giraffe". Giraffe's goal was to acquire/produce a small number of relatively modern fighters with BVR capability and newer engines at low cost within minimum time so that the first airframes enter service the same time with Cheetah. There was no budget nor time for development of a completely new aircraft so the Giraffe team inside Atlas took into account that SAAF was already very familiar with French aviation technology so they decided to apply upgrades to existing aircrafts. Atlas officials came up with the idea that the RDM radar (with ground mode removed) and the M53-5 engine of the early Mirage 2000C could be acquired and fitted to older Mirage IIICZs. Also Giraffe team gained some access to early stage of Rafale program. On January 1985 development team presented to government and SADF the characteristics of the upgraded prototype which would be ready to make its first flight as soon as possible. The aircraft should be able to accelerate fast, carry at least 2 medium range AAMs and 2 short range AAMs, detect/track fighter size targets at 50/25 nautical miles, use defensive countermeasures and finally eqquiped with an internal jammer. RDM and M53-5 would be delivered through third countries while the medium range Super 530F missile would be acquired in secret cooperation with France. Short range AAM would be the domestic V3C Darter. The first flight was estimated to take place sometime in September 1985. On May 1985 with the Cheetah on development stage and with the increase of military expenditures due to the ongoing conflict on Southern Angola, government prioritized Cheetah program as more important and terminated Giraffe. An artistic representation of how Giraffe could look like was published on Air International magazine (with little help from AI).

Hmmm...new fuel on the market! Do I trust this guy enough to buy it???

it's 2029, and the legendary Red Tails are once again pulling bomber escort duty, as the B-21 (off screen) makes its debut over the South China Sea..... ignore the floating ice. climate change dammit (slams door and runs off)

There's always a conflict somewhere on this mudball, either brewing or in full swing....

Dear Friends, we are really happy to announce that, thanks to a few generous friends, ALL old YAP3 assets are now available FOR FREE in our new YAPR RW website, in the "Legacy" section: https://www.yap-revamp-works.com/legacy/ Since the old, official YAP3 website is malfunctioning and will probably crash with no forewarning, we also recreated all pages into our (apart for the last RS, SOH and DW pages for which we have different ideas). Side note: please consider that YAP3 and all other original episodes were created to work mainly with Windows XP and, later, also with Windows 7 but with a few issues. If you want to play them in Windows 10, in their original, non revamped version, we strongly advice to use the YAP3 Win 10 Patch you can fine in every single download page. Just follow the instructions. The YAP RW Team

What if the Soviets would have developed a bomber version of the Tu-128 and sold it to Argentina in 1982. Heading toward Malvinas.

Just for the commemoration
