streakeagle. Could you please point me to where you have found the article about the Israeli pilots that evaluated the F-14 and the F-15 in the 70's, that led to the ISAF (IAF) decision to choose the Eagle in the end? Thanks.

The man had balls made of iron!

Hey Kalvs, this is one awesome work you have done!!! This loading screen looks like its alive! The green eyes of the pilot are giving me the shivers. How many times did you hear, "I can't wait for this" Heres another one. "I can't wait for this" Hat off.

Well, I sure hope this is over. One thing is not over, and in fact just beginning. "No more one superPower that sets the rules" (USA) Russia has made its way back into the center as a second SuperPower. No one is in a position to tell them what to do. Right now I miss president John F. Kennedy and the way he handled The Missile crises in Cuba.

I use the ALT-N magic knob.

Hey Kesegy, did any one tell you, you look a lot like Luis Felipe Skolari?

Israel will put a potato embargo on Russia.

MigBuster, What I meant was that The Russians see The US weak. Thay see the US preoccupied on two fronts, Iraq and Afganistan and they probably say to them selfs. The US are not stupid. they will not open another front now. not against Russia.

Lindr. 3/4 of what you said, I did not understand. Why don't you use Babel fish to translate from Russian to English the things you want to say. I take it you are from Russia, ain't you? I assume I'm not the only one not understanding. And do not misunderstand me. as I said earlier, I blame the Georgian president for the last events.

Oh man, John Shaft is gone. RIP

People, wake up. you don't know the Russians. I know a lot of new Israelies that came from Russia and know the Russians and there ways, first hand. Puttin (yes, him, not Medvedev) is the one in charge in Russia. Medvedev is nothing but a puppet on a string. Puttin is thriving on bringing Russia back to what it was prior to the fall of the USSR!!! A major superpower. He will take the first chance he gets to reoccupy the republics surrounding Russia. He sees the US is weak and unwilling to challenge Russia. Its a golden opportunity to occupy Georgia.

But it is being sacrificed as we speak. The Russian army has literally cut Georgia in half. I just saw it on the news here on Israeli TV.

And I thought I was naive. You really think this is a reasonable move? What makes you think you can buy over 1000 jet fighters from the Russians and what the hell are you going to do with them? Why don't you take it one step further? why not buy Russia itself?

Oh OK, so in that case we see eye to eye.

Hey eraser, you say you come from mars, well let me tell you something. you sure sound like one. How many F-22's do you think the US will be able to build in case an all out war breaks? One Raptor costs about 120 million $ if I am not mistaken. Its more likely the US will bring back to life what ever was left of the F-14's, F-4's and the rest of the old generation of fighters that went out of service. On ground and sea it will not look any different.

to be honest, and I may be naive, I don't know why the whole thing started, why it is still going on and for sure how its going to end. what did Sakaashvili think? that he could hold out against the Russian bear? The US got there hands full with Iraq and Afghanistan and Iran breathing on the neck of the free world, not to mention the terror that spreads like wild fire around the world. All the US needs now is an all out conflict with the Russians to collapse economically. The fool didn't think twice before making his stupid move.

Just happened an hour ago. Not much is known of what was going on there, who were on board. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid...icle%2FShowFull

Tomas. First of all, congatulations on the newly born daughter. Take pride in being a father. Second, about the landing and breathing. its just what I have said, only in other words. Cheers.

I have been "volunteered" in 1976, and I'm there since. (I'm still in the army.)

Nice landing. You could hear the pilot was highly tensed. (heavy breathing although no apparent G on him.)

Hey. a Spanish T cat. Gato salvaje

Pcpilot, I would love to see you laughing on this end of the rope.

A stealthy Tornado, Wow.

For me, any of them is impossible to make. I think, to be a moder is a gift of god. (it looks like science fiction to me. )

I really don't know about it. (shame on me!) Will have to look at some history and find out about it. About the S-199, I think all in all there where four of them, but I can't be sure about the numbers. Anyway they where only few of them.
