  1. The Eternal Zero

    This is one that I think is well worth watching
  2. Market Garden anniversary

    It's in my Top 5: 1) Letters From Iwo Jima 2) Tora, Tora, Tora 3) Passchendaele 4) A Bridge Too Far 5) Enemy At The Gates
  3. The Eternal Zero

    And I'm pretty sure this is the original that the new Bruce Willis movies is based on...
  4. Air Strike (Bruce Willis)

    I'll give it a shot just for the flying scenes, but we'll see how well it plays on the US. There's not a lot of interest in years of the Sino-Japanese conflict before it became a full-on global war, so I'm guessing while there will be some interest, I think it'll be relegated to us enthusiasts, history buffs, and the simply curious.
  5. Last checks for a photo run over Iceland For a big plane, it handles quite nicely... Time to shoot the photos...... Got what we needed: back to the boat for analysis
  6. Hurricane (Film 2019)

    I've seen it. My recommendation: Make the time/effort to see it. It's DAMNED good.
  7. Updated Korat RTAFB

    All I can add to this is that I wish this type of talent were mine. Bravo
  8. Poor Bastards ... MRE Humor

    This....is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  9. I'd forgotten that i had this on a disk lying around. It's and old model (have no access to the newer lods), but it was still fun to fly. BTW, the Mig-25 was more of an annoyance than any real threat.
  10. There's a lot of folks in attendance today.. And as much as I'd like to give them something fancy, I gotta go to work Paired up and headed for the target 19 miles out, we rolled over towards a terrain feature that would hide us all the way in This was perfect.... A quick pull over the top, acquire the target at 1.3 miles, let go of the bombs, and BOOM!!!! Let's go home.
  11. Sometimes, camo is just so...........overrated.
  12. Fair Point

    Amen
  13. My personal rule for a gunfight: Never bring inferior equipment.......
  14. Iran unveils new Kowsar Fighter

    I'm not in the habit of dismissing anyone's technical abilities, so I'll look at it from this perspective...... IF they can reverse engineer and create a new-airframe F-5, albeit with new/different avionics, what is to say that can't do the same with their other models? Like their F-14's? Or any other airframe they may have purchased? All they showed you was an F-5. As for their claims about what they are doing being false: Of course they are. They wouldn't give away the 1 advantage they have at this point. That nobody believes they could do it is their best weapon. And they can afford to pay the people they need to do all/any of this, and have the proven ability to keep things quite quiet when they wish. I think it's a miscalculation to take them lightly in this matter.
  15. Even after so many years of service, it still presents an image of barely restrained mayhem........
  16. When all other forms of "High Explosive Diplomacy" have not achieved or otherwise received the desired results........
  17. Tweet This "Go do, that Voodoo that you do, so well"
  18. Not an issue. I have that Mod installed, and it runs fine.
  19. I run Windows 10 on a custom built gaming system and it works fine. The only thing I can think of that I did was look at how Win 10 was structured as a file system; copy my entire SF program from my old system into the "Program Files (x86)" area of my new system, copied all my mod folders in the "users" tab, adjusted my icons to read from there, and have had no hiccups. There are some things that Windows 10 does that are a little "odd" to me (personal tastes), but it runs my SF, & DCS sims like a champ.
  20. I was on my way to bomb a warehouse in Libya. It's a nice day, no SAMs are out, no Migs in the area, the jazz was bumping, and I was eating a Turkey sandwich on rye..... My escorts had the situation in hand below the cloud cover...... Until I heard "Sam Launch", and approximately 5 seconds later, an SA-11 blew me, my jazz, and my sandwich, all to flinders..........
  21. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to "Blow $h&t Up" with a Canberra. Until people try and shoot you to pieces.
  22. It'[s all just a Mirage..........with a Viper in their midst
  23. Egressing with my escorts, I never saw the site that fired this shot....But it was definitely a motivational tool to speed up on getting outta dodge.
