Nightshade/PR

Heading off for a mission over Sweden, with Dragons as escorts.

This was....interesting. https://www.sfgate.com/news/crime/article/Release-of-film-featuring-fallen-Chinese-13313745.php

Of COURSE there are SAM's between me and the target.....SA-2's & 3's. A person could get hurt out here..........

Mali Armed Recon...and found a line of fuel trucks

I still love to have the music playing when I fly. The damnedest thing: just as i let go with these, "Rock the Casbah" came up. It was GREAT!!!

I KNOW the subject is a serious one, but...............................I couldn't help it...........

Then they will be truly unhappy with me after this shot of a Galaxy Barbecue!!!!

If it's not asking for too much, I'd like a copy of it as well, please.

COIN mission

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

And I'm pretty sure this is the original that the new Bruce Willis movies is based on...

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.

This is one that I think is well worth watching

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

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

This....is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

Sometimes, camo is just so...........overrated.

Amen

My personal rule for a gunfight: Never bring inferior equipment.......

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.
