A routine high pucker situation for a US Navy pilot.

I remember reading a US Admiral's quote in a magazine article back in the 80s when the Soviets were training their first carrier squadron. It was something along the lines of" We have decades of experience under our belt and still crash on occasion. They'll be routinely wiping out for quite a while until they get the hang of it".

Very, VERY nice pics!

IMO, Hollywood officially ran out of ideas right about the time they made the first Scooby Doo movie.

I wonder how good Detroit will be with Suh and Fairley anchoring the Dline.

^^

As a player, he was pretty damn brutal. It was nice that he was able to make it as an actor after he retired from the game.

I used to watch MTV a lot in the 80s but more or less stopped in the mid 90s because bands i was into never had their videos played.

Felix Rohatyn on defaulting... (It's like)"someone stepping into a tepid bath and slashing his wrists — you might not feel yourself dying, but that’s what would happen”

Something i learned while babysitting when i was a teen!

I'm a hotel worker. One day i ought to make a list of the absolutely screwball things our guests ask and bitch about.

Perhaps some of the weapons from the Great Nordic Biker War are still out there?

What kind of plane are you flying and when? Beagles come in flights of four. If at all possible target the lead or element leader so if they're downed or forced to commit evasive manuvers the wingmen are isolated for further attacks. When you scramble for an intercept, basically it's you and your wingmwn as the shooters and everyone else in support. Sometimes you can get more of your flights involved but that depends on the situation. Best thing is to go up and head towards the enemy at the best possible speed with constant (IE every 30 seconds or so) checks with Red Crown. As you close in check the map aka GCI Info for proper bearings and make sure you are about 5-8 miles behind them if you intercept them far off from their target. Then you want to swing at 6 high and close in at full throttle. 5 miles for me, is the point of no return. Usually at 6-8 miles behind the incoming strike i'll push the nose down and commit. You can bet the escorts wil react but you have the upper hand as they have to reverse onto you while with only a slight chance of a face shot. It's virtually guaranteed that even if your missles fail to make contact, they will break up the bomber formations and so you'll be able to go to work once again.

I re uped back in April but i'll see if i can get something in next week after payday.

I swear, i must be one of very few people who are indifferent. In the music genres i follow, we've had musicians of jaw dropping ability die, some even younger than Winehouse, and go completly unoticed by the press. I guess being honered and mourned is due only to "pop" stars.

You got that right!

Sorry for the delay in replying. I've finished many WOE and WOV campaigns flying different aircraft and countries. If you can't get past them i suggest you check what you are doing and make adjustments. Otherwise, you are garden variety pigeons merely taking off to be shot down.

So now it's down to two. USA vs Japan. This is a game i really wish i could see but i'll be at work. The USA has experience, power, and pace VS Japan that has technique and speed. The keys will be Japanese swiftness and passing vs a sometimes unsettled USA backfield and a huge American advantage for headers resulting from corners and setpieces.

Looks like Intell found some hard info from Osama's computers and passed it along to the shooters. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/07/12/us-pakistan-missile-idUSTRE76B0I320110712

Congragulations, Dave! I'll admit my military career was a fiasco but i'm always encouraging youngsters that have potential to give it a look. One of the kids from my old neighborhood that enlisted in the Army is just three years away from his 20. I hope to be there if and when he decides to retire.

What an awesome pic and story!

A pretty good article about this fiasco. http://www.newsweek.com/2011/07/10/murdoch-s-watergate.html

Here's some really nice pics http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2012253/Atlantis-space-shuttle-launch-Spaceship-overcomes-shaky-launch-Nasa-shuttle-blast-space.html It seems like not too long ago, i was at home watching the Enterprise make it's landing and now it'll be all over with Atlantis doing the same. If i'm at work i hope to be able to get to a TV so i can see it as well.

Saw this on the news at work today. Of all the UK press that i've looked at over the years, News Of The World was hands down the trashiest. Now if we can only do the same over here.
