If you see anything concerning the forum skin(s) that are out of the ordinary, please post them here. There may be a few colors that are not correct, or images that don't display will on a particular background color. I'm tried to cross check as many things as I could while working on several skins at the same time, so I wouldn't be suprised if there's a bug or two, but overall I hope you enjoy it. Mike

iPad gets approval from FAA to replace paper flight charts and maps
Fates replied to FastCargo's topic in CombatACE News
As a sales representative for a large business jet MRO, I can tell you that the biggest reason this was pushed by EJM is the fact that IPADs are $500 vs the EFB's, which can range from $5000-$10,000 dollars installed. The Industry is really getting fed up with getting gouged on Engineering a Certification path, which drives prices through the roof. The IPad was a perfect solution for everyone. -

I use a Nikon D90 with the following accessories: Lenses: 18-105mm F3.5 AF-S Nikkor, 35-70mm F2.8 AF Nikkor, and 80-300mm F3.5 Tokina non-AF Speedlight SB-600, MB-D80 Grip, Wireless remote Nikon 6006 Body (35mm)in use as well. I have been a Nikon user for years after switching from an old Canon AE-1 Program. I will have to say that Canon has been blowing Nikon out of the water for the last couple years with Digital SLR's, but Nikon has remained strong, and since I already had AF Lenses that still fit and were usable on the new camera body, I stayed with the manufacture and will probable never waiver.

"The S-3 parked recently in a hangar at Jacksonville Naval Air Station looked like it just returned from the 1942 Battle of Midway. Very odd, given that the Viking is a two-engine jet that served as a sub hunter, tanker and much more during its 33-year career beginning in 1975. But the plane's newly applied retro paint job was actually meant to evoke the epic sea battle that turned the World War II Pacific campaign in America's favor. "We were going for a Midway effect," said Don Lockwood, a Navy employee helping return three S-3Bs, including the newly painted one, to operational status. While the aircraft will serve a West Coast test squadron, its paint scheme will serve another purpose: to celebrate the 100th anniversary of U.S. naval aviation in 2011." >>Full Story<<

When Cpl. Austin McGee climbed into the cockpit of the vintage F4U Corsair parked on the flightline outside the squadron's hangar, he said he couldn't be more proud to be a part of the “most famous squadron” in the Marine Corps. “I wanted to see what it was for the people who came before me,” said McGee, an avionics technician from Vilonia, Ark., stationed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma. “It isn't very often that you get to step back into the past with a piece of history such as this.” Not only were the 280 Marines from VMA-214 celebrating their squadron's 68th anniversary Tuesday, they were also commemorating the 100th anniversary of naval aviation. Although the actual centennial isn't until January 2011, the first big event marking the anniversary will be the March 27 Yuma Air Show, which is held at the air station. >>Full Story<<
