These words mean nothing unless you know what she said before them....they are what makes the hair stand up on my arm and back of neck while watching her say it....here it is. "This is Ambassador Delenn of the Minbari. Babylon 5 is under our protection. Withdraw, .. or be destroyed." "Negative. We have authority here. Do not force us to engage your ship." "Why not? Only one human captain has ever survived battle with Minbari fleet. He is behind me. You are in front of me. If you value your lives, be somewhere else."

Ten new V-22 Osprey will be in Iraq for combat by September, the Marine Corps said Friday. Built by Boeing Co. and Bell, a unit of Textron Inc., the planes' deployment marks a significant reversal for an aircraft program that was nearly scrapped after two deadly test crashes and a history of mechanical failures. The medium-size, tilt-rotor plane, which takes off vertically like a helicopter and flies likes a plane, replaces the CH-46 Sea Knight, a 39-year-old assault helicopter used in the Vietnam War. http://www.businessweek.com/ap/financialnews/D8OG00BG2.htm

Mayor Dailey used 9/11 terrorist laws to plow up the runway. If they can't land/take off there...they can't crash the Sears tower. What a dumfk. Signature, the FBO that was there received a fairly large settlement from what I understand. ....since they lost about 1 million annually in fuel sales....other then that...I think the city paid the expenses to have the remaining aircraft removed....

yep...we got a whole Heli Sim forum dedicated to it....we need to hear more. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showforum=15

I've done several real world arrival and departures from the airport... Damn mayor went in and had the county trucks dig up the runway one night without telling anyone.. NO NOTAMS nothing. They had to get special permits for the aircraf that were still on the field so they could take off on the taxi way. This is the worst thing they could have done to the place.

PURPLE!!

Beatles have been around since the Jurassic period and before.

Used to hate warping to hyperspace and finding myself in worse trouble then when I hit the hypersapce button to begin with. Smartbombs were available as well....

Before the days of National Drug Store Chains like CVS and Walgreens, many small towns had local Pharmacies where the pharmacist was as well known as the local meat cutter. I past by one of the local drug stores while walking home from school every day. He bought a Defender Arcade and I was hooked. I don't think I bought school lunch for a year so I could play that game on my way home every day after school Later came more favorites like Galaga, and BattleZone.....but Defender will always be THAT game.
