  1. I can just picture trying to dogfight a sausage.

  2. FE download version ?

    JediMaster replied to Syrinx's topic in Thirdwire - First Eagles 1&2

    With the patches being so small, it doesn't surprise me that the DL image isn't updated with every patch. Some other games out there it's a different story...as soon as your patches have trouble fitting on a single CD...

  3. Hehe, BUSTED!

    JediMaster replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in The Pub

    Yeah really.
  4. Eritrea and Ethiopia both got Russian fighters. One got Fulcrums and the other Flankers, but I don't know offhand which got which.

  5. Odd aircraft - Dornier Do 200 for example

    JediMaster replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Ah, well I can't see or read 90% of the pics or links you guys post anyway thanks to the DoD's proxy filter, so I was going on name, not picture! As for the Forger, that was a naval aircraft, not AF, wasn't it?
  6. Right, the only planes in that range that don't count are the F-111 and F-117.
  7. It looks "Bucc-ish" from the front, but from other angles you'll see that it's a MiG-19 from the tail to the wingroot leading edge. Only the cockpit/nose/intake arrangement differs.
  8. Right, as "interim" fighters until their new fighter contract came about. Those planes would be F-16s, and they have started deliveries.

  9. Odd aircraft - Dornier Do 200 for example

    JediMaster replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation

    I remember that plane. The props' tips broke the sound barrier at speed, IIRC, and the noise was literally deafening. Ground crew reported becoming violently nauseous.
  10. I've never seen that before. I'm guessing lower roll rate but higher weights and ceiling and longer ranges possible.
  11. If you're hit by a few small-caliber (20mm or less) hits or a glancing missile hit (shrapnel) you'll get damage like that.
  12. What, Russia isn't European enough for you guys?
  13. You can link an animation to throttle position? I didn't know you could.
  14. I fought many of these over Korea in my F-16 back in the day.
  15. It may be called the Gnat, but it stings like a bee.

  16. OFP 2: Dragon Rising

    JediMaster replied to Fates's topic in Armed Assault Series

    I'm not holding out too much hope for OFP2 as it's not BIS. In related news, ArmA 2 was also announced recently.

  17. NASA Takes Light Saber

    JediMaster replied to Fates's topic in Star Wars

    I'm not sure exactly what the point of this exercise is, honestly...

  18. Medal of Honour: Airborne (Xbox 360)

    JediMaster replied to Revvin's topic in Game Console Corner

    I tried the PC version and liked it well enough, if you're into that kind of shooter. Little "tactical" gameplay here.
  19. Actually, Israel's is usually more properly referred to as the IDFAF, just like Japan's JASDF (not JAF). The IAF has always been the IAF as far as I remember...since before Israel had one. The funny thing about this competition is the competitor have a WIDE range in price. Gripen and MiG-29 at the low end and Typhoon at the high end.

  20. Holy Moly!

    JediMaster replied to Dave's topic in The Pub

    It's not so bad. I hear 49 is the new 46.

  21. I have $500M I don't know what do do with...

    JediMaster replied to jtin's topic in The Pub

    At $1.6b, all you get is the planet's most expensive glider. If you want to fly it into space, be prepared to pay double that.

  22. Pictures from vacation (updated with Museum of Flight pics)

    JediMaster replied to FastCargo's topic in The Pub

    "Just because we're in Seattle, you don't need to drink like Pearl Jam..."

  23. Haven't We Done This Before?

    JediMaster replied to Dave's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Well, Putin isn't Gorby or Yeltsin and Bush isn't Reagan or Clinton. That's all it really takes to change things around.
  24. Right, regardless of personal feelings they have to do what is required of them.

  25. The Rhinos are coming

    JediMaster replied to BattlerBritain's topic in Military and General Aviation

    Yet the RAF has no problem letting the IAF know their frequencies...
