you gotta admit,that is a terrorists worst nightmare....they do look good tho...bright,intelligent,patriotic....come to think of it,they can be a lot of guy's worst nightmare..... :roll:

The RA-5C Vigilante was a beautiful aircraft. It was, however, a hydraulic mechanic's nightmare. Leaked constantly. Chief you ought have seen them going off the pointy end of the boat at night lol. that was a sight,almost as much fun as watching a whale come in and trap...and let us not forget the bomb bay thing in between the engines,talk bout crapping bombs... :roll:

oh what the hell,while we are at the dreaming thing,why not a viggie? Id like see a a-5,then fly it full burner down in the weeds.......then of course there's the f11f and the f-8.......yep the f11,the only bird ever to shoot itself down,now THAT is fast lol lol...

I mean, he has NO clue! the sad part is he DOES have a clue,he wants to keep himself from being hung on a meat hook....which is good,seems sad hussein don't like folks tell him he screwed the pooch lol

Unless the deed for which it is given leaves no doubt in the minds of the public that it was an act of the utmost heroism, selflessness and courage, then it sould not be awarded. Doing so only cheapens the sacrifices other men and women have made well from what been said she put up a good fight,definetly good for a non grunt type..lets see broken legs(maybe tortured?)broken arm,gunshot,stabbed..Id say she pissed off a lot of iraqi 'soldiers'......if not CMH ok then least silver star,or bronze with V,whatever I think the young soldier did good...

if indeed neglegence was the case, I'm positive the Air Force will remedy the situation at hand in an appropriate manner It's been called the fog of war,and we All know there are humans behind the stick(or trigger)accidents WILL happen,and WILL be investigated....in the case of a plane,the pilot has a lot of things to do at the same time...but yes if negligence is found to be the cause the offender will be dealt with...but by same coin,a lot of folks talk about it being this or that fault,most times those are the very same folks that have no clue as to what DOES go on...

I have to agree that a lot of ang and afreserve DID camo their birds,time frame does not matter.the point being that the birds WERE painted such,one example being the 'boys from syracuse' ny ang,saw those birds flying in camo..the skin in question is a Outstanding effort..tho I hope there is a way to not have the usaf and bar/star in full color..lol sorry had to say that...actually at first they were painted in full color so it's no biggie...the skin is real good,as one without the patience to skin I will only comment that it is real looking..yep no patience,guys out there can talk a squirrel down from a tree,me I just get the gun and do it.....

ok folks,here's a dumb question(perhaps?).. how can I get EAW to work under win xp?......actually several games lol... 8)

Jimmy Stewart had run for President, he would have gotten my vote. Now THERE was a true American!!! F**k yes! and he had big brass ones too...

yeah,kind of takes cojones dont it...

however No one can take away the fact that till the tomcat came around it WAS the last pure dogfighter the naval and marine aviation had..and besides they did sport neat paint jobs..definetly did...sigh,oh yeah the days when our birds claimed loud and clear,here we is,what you gonna do about it?......it and the sluff made sure you kept your head up and locked while around them...

If we are going to kill him, let's drop a bomb on his ass, at least he's a casualty of war that way. rather good idea,if we can find the sorry ass LOL LOL,or if we can find all the decoy saddams then do it

I thought this was a place for Flight simmers who loved the games to pass info and help on to each other It IS,but you were reading in the wrong area,I definetly have gotten good tips from the boards for modding etc....as for prejudice,yeah as a Puerto Rican I can understand..however if I went around commenting on everytime I read or hear comments bout hispanics Id be one upthight man and THAT I dont owe Anyone..IF you read my post I was ONLY commenting on a few items,DEFINETLY NOT on the jail comment, I figured someone in a highger paygrade would problly notice and Comment on it more likely in private..as a matter of fact the issue COULD have been dealt with in a different matter, IE reply directly to the offensive post,or of course better yet the higher paygrade.....

God Damn UN, whole worlds gone Vaginal, god I hope this resolution kills the UN credibility, and then NATO can collapse, then we can just have the ESA (english speaking alliance) since we're the ones that ever do anything. I'm starting to like the Spaniards though, and I've always liked the Turks; they'll get their pipeline back after we send Saddam to Rikers. LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!!!!! ESA.. why not ESAK? and the spaniards are doing good,as is that lady prime minister from lithuania I think...but anyways,had a good laugh..

We need to go finish the job we started 12 years ago and didn't have he guts to finish then. But it just irks me to no end that suddenly this is an issue, with no taking responsibility of the fact that we created the mess to begin with. Meanwhile North Korea is blackmailing and threatening us with nuclear weapons and we ignore the problem again,I do NOT recall bush saying we were going to go to baghdad and take the guy out...never...as for the gassing,folks still miss the point,that guy would NOT hesitate for a ny min to gas americans..to pass along that expertise and ways to make and use it.. the prnk is threatening yes but they also know just how far to push,I dont think we are ignoring them,we just going to talk to them when we READY to,not at THEIR convinience,btw if they use even one nuke,they do know their faminine problem would no longer be a problem..the biggest threat is saddam getting a few warheads,those he WOULD use..so you take out one buyer and then go talk with the dealer....but just curious,why is No One talking about the LAME DEAL that gave the prnk time to work on nukes......back in those days it would not have been so difficult to take out the reactor,kind of like the one in osirak was taken out...as for saddam,yep it was that thing of my enemy's enemy being my friend,im not closed minded to that fact.......

(Saddam gases Kurds, and shia's, they are not his people just because they live within the borders of Iraq. ) you missed the point......Yeah they DO live within the country..kinda like WE have our minorities,but we dont go around gassing them... (Dont repeat what the media says, they dont know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to Middle Eastern history, and or interpolitics and religion.) might be time to say something...I do NOT I Repeat I do NOT just spout off without a few FACTS,do NOT patronize Me..I did 2 tours off of beirut and 2 to Camel Station back when the peanut farmer got upset and told the russians to get out of afgan land or the us would not go to the olimpycs.... Nobody likes the Kurds not even our Ally Turkey, the Iranians kicked them out long ago. They are the equivalent of western gypsies (no home, no nation, no nothin), all they have is themselves and the no-fly zone. As for the Shia's, consider that Saddam is just trying to finish off the Shia's in his own country... since he couldnt finish off his Shia neighbor. The point being made was NO ONE deserves to be gassed... (Here's how an Arab views his politics. 1st: Islam, 2nd: Tribe, 3rd: Nation.) kind of like the folks along our bible belt huh... (This is why there are so many problems in the Mid East that we do not understand. We view it as National aggression, when it is usually religious, or some old tribal rivalry that has existed since before western invasions into the area) or not putting a country in the map perhaps.... Sorry, I started bantering, but it bothers me how the media, puts out the language, and the public just picks it up and runs with it. No one would like to control your views more than the media, and most media is misinformed. as I said................been there done that got the t-shirt.. I make up my own mind,on my own beliefs and Knowledge.....

sure we CAN claim it..we have NOT gassed our own people,we have NOT harbored terrorists..our past? oh you mean like having a US Navy man o'war blown outta the water and NOTHING done about it? or the khobar towers? both of which in my oppinion qualify as Acts Of War against us

yeah kind of like a prostitute talking bout the virtues of virginity..... :roll:

actually the little 'b*' ought be told to at least FACE the flag,way too many folks have died for her right to be stupid,least she can do is be respectful of how others feel....if not then what the hell,you dont want see MY flag,then don't go to the game as player OR fan.... :roll:

That is what I feel is missing from the Iraq thingy. that about sums it up for me. I'll let you have the last word on it. I don't want this to turn into a political thread, we don't really do that here and MAD JEFF I hope you don't mind to much. nahh the last word is still to be written,somewhere down the line.... :roll: I do agree we ought get back to flight......now when are those thuds,intruders and sluff's gonna be ready to fly!..I recall seeing some hellacious paint schemes on those birds...

proof..do we really need let our enemies know how we do gather intel?...or you talking proof as per a mushroom cloud over manhattan or tel aviv?.or a nice gas attack in the a train line in ny?.as for the nk's,yep they also need be dealt with,but dont forget we DO have troops there and in nam I did get to see the rok's are the wrong bunch to screw with lol...And I do want to add my best wishes to all on active duty now,away from the land of the big px,hey guys(and gals,have to be pc lol) you doing good,and doing it right.god bless you All..

Well I dont know,there never was a clear thing wether those of us took the shots in infancy are still somewhat protected,what I meant was least he took the smallpox shot,instead of letting everyone take the antrax vaccine as ordered...

the post by pcpilot is quite direct,well I guess there ought be another view posted,kind of like Both sides telling their point...Mr Bush showed a bit of backbone by getting the smallpox vaccine himself..no he never went across the pond to a battlefield,but neither did the liar and DRAFT dogger that was in the peoples house before him...the one that was given SEVERAL reasons to defend the country and gaffed them all off,lets see the USS Cole,the khobar towers,the 93 wtc bombing....there has NEVER been a good war NEVER good reason to go to war,but sometimes it is the right thing to do...if uncle saddam has a nuke lets be honest he WILL use it sooner or latter,we ought give the IAF a hell of a Thank You for bombing the osirak reactor...this country OUGHT to stop worrying about what the terrorists will do if we attack them,they ALLREADY did It!..several times.one way to deal with a bully is to let him know he does NOT intimidate you,one way to deal with terrorists is to bring IT to them,let THEM look over THEIR shoulders..saddam IS a terrorist,he HAS ravaged his OWN people,and I do bet there IS a good reason the President of OUR country wants him out....by the way pcpilot I HAVE been across the pond,the RVN as a matter of fact.nope not flaming,just thought there ought be twp sides read..
