Fellas these Saders are like 2 generations better than the previous ones. After the initial release we are looking at the F-8B/C too. Might as well have them all. But time will tell.

Merry Christmas to you all. And remember it is Christmas not Xmas......Jesus' last name was Christ not X.

The only problem with that though is now you can't have country unique weapons.

Great vid....if a USAF pilot did that though, he would never fly again.

Now on that note Sparky I got to see the cracks on 2 of those Albinos stuck here. Knowing what I know about machinery and mechanics. They are going to have to redo that whole section because a patch wont fix it. It's broke right in area that isn't easy to repair. I love the F-22, but not at the cost of 40,000 airmen. But on the flip side I think retiring older Eagles and getting new F-22's can't hurt.

They forget we are doing 100% of the heavy airlift. 80% to 90% of all the A2G support of the troops. Not to mention how every time I see and a soldier with a combat patch and they see that I am AF, they are thanking me in some way or another for air support they got in a bad situation. I told them that it wasn't me, but they wanted to thank someone in the AF. To re confirm you sparky, I talked to my wife (She is an Army SFC) and she said its very few over there that are doing 15 months. Its certain specialties that are getting long tours but it sure the hell isn't all of them. But the USAF isn't doing anything. Whatever. I am going to close this because now I am really irritated.

ndicki Welcome to Combatace. There is Knowledge Base we have put together that can answer 99% of any questions you have. I would check it you.

All depends on your job on how long you stay. We got people doing year tours over there, coming back for 2 to 6 months and doing another year over there. It sucks the Marines and Army are having to do 16 months over there.

Have you checked the download sections? There are 2 in there...

Streak no offense but you have been out for awhile. They way it was 10 years ago and now is night and day. While the Marines and the Army have taken the brunt of the war as far as personnel KIA, I get highly offended when it is implied that the USAF is not pulling its weight. Because you would be dead wrong. I have lost count the amount of personnel who are now on their 5th and 6th tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. My brother in law did 4 in Afghanistan alone. Oh and they aren't all going over there doing their jobs they came in and was trained to do....no, we are doing convoys with the Army, patrols with the Marines. Its s big s**t sandwich and the USAF is eating right along with everyone else. Each service has its bad somewhere, but what makes up for it is good leadership. I could work in a gulag all day if I had good leadership. That's what makes the difference and that is what sparky and I are getting at.

I was hoping you would catch that.

12th TFW is now the 12 Flying Training Wing http://afhra.maxwell.af.mil/rso/wings_grou...ges/0012ftw.asp It covers units assigned, locations etc etc etc.....

http://afhra.maxwell.af.mil/rso/rso_index.html http://afhra.maxwell.af.mil/rso/squadrons_flights_index.html How about here? I use it all the time.

25MT one mile airburst.....you better be at least 100 miles away or its going to suck the paint off your house and give you a permanent orange afro.....

Now that is the funniest s**t I have read in awhile.....me, nukes, moderation? Looks like before I go on leave Sunday I will have to test one. Operation Able Back Up - Charlie Shot - will be scheduled for 2000Z/22 Dec 07 I hope you are EMP hardened kiddos..... Its going to be a bigun...

She's a nice ship Captain, I think you should go down with it.....

"Diamonds, that'll shut her up"- Ron White Dude put some money on a gift card to her favorite store. Works perfectly.

Nukes......I love em....accidentally shut down a few web sites with some testing of them. (Some of the old posters around here know that joke.)

Yes everyone's favorite terrorist is back and is singing all the holiday favorites.... SILENCE....night.

Yeah because we sure don't have anything the Navy inventory that can do its mission. They had but they retired them. What do we need F-15's for when we got F-22's. Whats the Navy going to send? Super Hornets?

Have you looked in the downloads section for a tutorial.....maybe the top of page 5?

He's always serious, and don't call him Shirley. In about 2 weeks....

Well I can tell you this if they offer early out and pay you to do so, and if the price is right I am out. Can you believe for once it would be better to be in the US Army? Ask my wife she can attest to that.

Man all of those looks great.

Exactly.....
