My wife hates it when I will squint my eyes a certain way, turn and look at her and say in a very low evil voice. "why....so serious?" She just hates it.

Ok can anyone tell me the new MF plane that is in it?

Nice stuff Eric.

Do a clean install. Just to be safe. Let me know.

You dont have to do anything with the weapons. It has its own weps pack. And its ready to go out of the box.

Well as far as I knew the crime rate wasn't bad. I never had any issues at all. Leave your AR-15 in NY, don't even bring it even when you get on base. The CA liberals love to prosecute military over there. From Santa Barbara to San Luis Obispo, the area is incredible. So much to do and so much to see. The community around Lompoc really supports the military, but when you get away from Vandyland, people are not so much friendly when they find out you are military. I would stay away from LA if you can, the place needs to be nuked and rebuilt. However San Fransico is a beautiful city with lots to do and EAT, OMG EAT. If you love seafood man you are going to be good to go there. They don't really care for the military either but I didn't have any problems with anyone. In Lompoc, there is a Mexican restaurant called El Toro Bronco, or as we called it, El Bloat McFat, that have the best burritos I have ever had to this day. They are huge and they load them up. Can't be beat. I had a good time at Vandy. Working Vehcles and Equioment, MMT and test launch gave me lots of opportunities to support NASA missions and like. I got to assist in the Taurus, Pegasus projects. Got to do shuttle support missions. A great time for sure.

I was stationed there from 1993 to 1994. Incredible area. Just beautiful. Lompoc has a federal prison there. We also called Lompoc, Lompton because of the wanna be gansters there. Also during the spring there are giant fields of flowers are far as the eye can see. So if you have allergies. You will just love the spring. What else do you want to know?

U.P., F.T.P., we all scream for an I.P.......? no? Not funny?

In the Knowlege Base it tells all. http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?showtopic=34221

I think they still look good after all these years. Ole boy did a great job on them.

Dear god :lol: !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that better? Yes I have that blog but havent been there in awhile. I need to use it some more.

Right on JW.

Not our perview actually, those systems do not fall under AFCC.

I can give you a good example. At Red Flag, the F-22's, a few of them, are clearing the skies of Aggressors less than 1/8 of the way through the tranining sorties. By clearing, they are taking out all red air opposition in minutes. Is red air getting "kills" against the F-22? Yes, but the air engagements are seriously seriously one sided in favor of the F-22.

Just like Jug said. For example LTC Andy Bush, spanked an F-15 in an F-104 years ago. For those of you do not know LTC Bush over at SimHq, flew many years in the USAF. Flew F-4's in Vietnam, A-10's and 104's. Guy was one hell of a stick. F-22 is an awesome plane, and face it, nothing in the sky can compete plane for plane. But man for man, the better pilot will win. Even if he flew a T-6 Texan.

Um there is an F-101B with RCAF skins. Can't get much closer to the CF-101 than that. Since they were the same plane. You could rename it all to CF-101 and there you would have it, a CF-101.

Just delete the duplicate file then.

Once again the bob that rocks continues to impress.

Ed and Harold, you guys make a great team. Keep up the good work.

I like that. Eels on the front, remove before flight on the back.....hmmm Erik!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes mppd, the eels in the hoverctaft joke goes back a long long long way.

What is really cool is that it a great model still. With new skins, that Ant and you all are doing it bears repeating, old bird new skins, can't beat that.

A few Pacific-based squadrons got F-102s, the first being the 16th FIS based at Naha AFB on Okinawa which re-equipped in March of 1959. It was in the Pacific theatre that the F-102 was to achieve its only taste of combat. Aircraft from the 590th Fighter Interceptor Squadron were transferred to Tan Son Nhut AFB near Saigon in South Vietnam in March of 1962 to provide air defense against the unlikely event that North Vietnamese aircraft would attack the South. F-102As continued to be based there and in Thailand throughout much of the Vietnam war. F-102As stood alert at Bien Hoa and Da Nang in Sout Vietnam and at Udorn and Don Muang in Thailand. The F-102A was finally withdrawn from Southeast Asia in December of 1969. The F-102A established an excellent safety record in Vietnam. In almost ten years of flying air defense and a few combat air patrols for SAC B-52s, only 15 F-102As were lost. Although a few missions were flown over North Vietnam, the Southeast Asia-stationed F-102As are not thought to have actually engaged in air-to-air combat. However, one of my references has an F-102A of the 509th FIS being lost to an air-to-air missile fired by a MiG-21 while flying a CAP over Route Package IV on February 3, 1968. Two F-102As were lost to AAA/small arms fire and four were destroyed on the ground by the Viet Cong and eight were lost in operational accidents. Strange as it may seem, the F-102A actually did fly some close-support missions over the South, even though the aircraft was totally unsuited for this role. These operations started in 1965 at Tan Son Nhut using the 405 FW alert detachment. Operating under the code-name "Project Stovepipe", they used their heat sinking Falcon missiles to lock onto heat sources over the Ho Chi Minh trail at night, often Viet Cong campfires. This was more of a harassment tactic than it was serious assault. They would even fire their radar-guided missiles if their radars managed to lock onto something. The pilots were never sure if they actually hit anything, but they would sometimes observe secondary explosions. The F-102s soon switched to a day role, firing the 12 unguided FFAR rockets from the missile bays, using the optical sight. 618 day sorties were flown, the last one being flown at the end of 1965. One F-102A was downed by ground fire during one of these rocket attacks.

Great work KB!

That sure looks nice fellas.
