My condolences and may he rest in peace

allow? I didn't know anyone outside of Pakistan had a choice in that.

good to know. That is a very, very different take on what happened as compared to what was originally being reported. If so - then this guy was clearly stuck with zero options and stayed with it right down to the last second. That is a pretty horrendous multiple failure scenario of his plane coming apart on him. It will be very interesting to see just what came apart.

you are quite correct wrt to the press coverage. Pretty lousy, but then that's the norm. The key question is where was the plane when the first engine was lost. That is the key piece of info which is so far lacking. On that is my only query on this sad event. It may turn out to be that Miramar was the closest and most suitable field. Until that is clearly identified, questions will remain. So until the actual accident report is release - I shall comment no more.

follow the tacan. generally after you hit the last waypoint on the way in - your needles are pointing you to the ship. If you have DME on that model you get a countdown of the miles. try to hit 2k ft at 2 DME and you should be lined up nicely.

that is how I set mine up two. All of my data and mods are on my second drive. Works great and everything was protected during my C drive crash. And backed up now as well.

I don't get it................

I doubt it is SP3, but something along the way perhaps. I just did a complete system restore after a bad crash and brought it all the way back up to SP3. No problems (except for the utilities which fail to work the same as prior to the restore). The sims, however, work better than before. And my harddrive is much leaner!

I'm running Service Pack 3 on XP with lower specs than yours and a lesser graphics card (7600). I have no problems. no clue but service pack 3 shouldn't be doing it. SP3 seems to have gooned up most of the utilities, but my TW installs all work ok.

Not quite. I don't agree. I agree that there is a lot of second guesing and that generally, I do not like to delve into that or tolerate it by others. But I have flown in that oparea, and was based both at North Island and Miramar in years past. I also went single-engined out there and went into San Clemente Island rather than continue in to North Island. I have been there, in W-291, in very similar circumstances. And I also went singe-engine in some other very uncomfortable circumstances in another locale. That is why I immediately questioned the rationale for sending an aircraft with an engine out, critical emergency over and past a perfectly good airfield (North Island) to go the extra 11 miles to Miramar. He could have made it easily into North Island - but when he needed another 11 miles, he only had 10 1/2 in his airplane. Yes - a dual engine failure is an unusual occurence. So is a single-engine failure. The procedures we had for diverting to the nearest suitable airfield were learned and relearned in blood and drilled into all of us for decades. The rule for us in the past was that if you had a critical emergency or were short on fuel - you didn't pass up a perfectly good divert field in order to press on to home base. When things are going bad in your airplane - you get it on the ground as soon as possible and figure out what else is wrong at your leisure. Pressing on to homeplate has cost a lot of aircraft and the lives of many in years past - and just cost the lives of four more. Yes, it was an accident and people on the scene made their decisions based on the best info they had at the time. That was a bad decision and we (the USN and USMC) owe a solid and well conducted accident investigation. That investigation absolutely should not be conducted in the open press and on forums like this one. I merely pointed out that others have asked the same question that I did above and it is one of those items being focused in the investigation and in the open forums where this is being discussed by the Navy (itself a very unusual practice). I, like you, will wait for the accident investigation to be completed and for whatever portion of it to be made public. But nothing has changed from my initial impression on the day it happened when I looked where the ship was that he came in from, where he crashed, and where he could have made it in safely with time and distance to spare. I ask this out of professional curiousity - not Sunday morning quarterbacking. and no offense taken or intended. just very concerned about this.

is it there too? I first heard those on the original Star Trek. I haven't actually watched much of Voyager.

some of the same questions raised here being asked in open forums; ----------------- Norfolk Virginian-Pilot December 22, 2008 Questions Remain In San Diego Jet Crash That Killed Four By Elliot Spagat and Michael R. Blood, Associated Press LOS ANGELES--Two weeks after a Marine Corps plane slammed into a San Diego residential area, killing four people, questions have arisen about the decision to direct the hobbled fighter over homes to an inland airfield. A nearby base offered a route across open water. The cause of the fiery Dec. 8 crash is being investigated. Military officials have depicted a chain of events in which first one engine failed on the F/A-18D Hornet - and then the second quit while the pilot was trying to reach a landing spot. However, the rarity of the double engine failure hasn't dampened speculation that the deaths of four members of one family might have been averted. The pilot ejected safely. Marine generals have defended the choice to send the Hornet to Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, taking it over the University City neighborhood. The crash there incinerated two homes, damaged three others and killed four members of one family. The Miramar base is ringed by freeways and bordered on its western end by thickly packed residential areas that include a high school. Less than 10 miles away, the Naval Air Station North Island in Coronado sits at the tip of a peninsula. The flight path from the south crosses San Diego Bay. "Why not go to North Island?" asked Louis Rodolico, who lives near Miramar. Retired Navy Cmdr. Rick Ramirez, who lives near Miramar, said at a forum last week that the pilot could have easily flown to North Island, but it would have been an inconvenience for Marine maintenance crews to retrieve the crippled aircraft. Military officials said that after the first engine faltered, Miramar was a straight shot and that going to North Island would have required more engine thrust. However, F/A-18D Hornets can fly with one engine, and dual engine failures are rare. That leaves questions about how much consideration was given to sending the pilot to North Island. And was a runway available? The amount of fuel on the jet, weather, the pilot's experience and the aircraft's ability to fly with malfunctioning equipment would all be factors in determining where to go in a flight emergency. A paucity of information has made it difficult to assess the call made that day. Nothing has been disclosed about where and when the problem with the first engine started. The military hasn't identified the aircraft's position when the decision was made to go to Miramar, or where the closest landing strip was when that decision was made.

I added them in and have a couple of campaigns modified to fly Hornets and Tomcats and such. haven't tried them since the patch - I'll check it out in the next couple of days.

mine is "autoshutdown sequence in progress" which of course follows the initial logon; "password confirmed - standby" I had that on all of my computers - although the government ones I use have since blocked that sort of nonsense :(

I thought you guys were also buying the Super Hornet? I would think the combination of F-18F(A?) and F-35's would make a pretty potent mix for your neck of the woods. (married up with a big tanker fleet of course.....)

there are a lot of changes in the models themselves that have to be done. It is not such an easy changeout. So as new models or updates come out, those capabilities will be added in by the teams and individuals who build them. Unless you are doing that, there is nothing you need to do. the various aircraft will have different avionics packages which will all work on the new patch. Some will have avionics60, some will have avionics70, and some will have avionics70 that use the new capabilities.

"Also start my GS-8 job on the 15th of Dec " congrats!! I'm facing a conversion from contractor to GS (in the new NSPS bands) later next year. not sure about that. But one thing is certain - a fully funded charge code defines happiness!!

one of the objectives of the terrorist b@$t@rd$ who carried out that butchery was to incite a war between India and Pakistan - triggering an environment of chaos that they will thrive in. Let us all hope they do not succeed in suckering our two friends into a war that neither wants and both will suffer from. and yes - two countries with nukes can most certainly go to war - the possession of nukes merely puts a check on how far the defeated will accept reverses on the field and how far a prudent victor will push it.

10 to 1 odds!!

serious climate change!!

haven't noticed a problem. I'll check. Only with the F-15E?
