Pictures from vacation (updated with Museum of Flight pics)
GASCAN39 replied to FastCargo's topic in The Pub
Great pictures! I have been using Flickr to post some pics on the web from "over here". Looks like the vacation was a blast, would love to see that part of the world. That Boeing museum could make a vacation for me in itself! Coincidentally, on the IFF program - I had recently found info on the original program at Holloman in the early 70s. My dad was like the fourth IP to check in 1973, (465th TFTS back then). They flew three times a day, six days a week....sometimes hungover! Originally designed to be 8 weeks, they pumped out a class at one point every three weeks. Lots of class graduation parties, resulting in the 465th from being banned from the O'club for foodfights and the like! I found this big write up on an Air Force history site, and forwarded it to him, gave him some memories of the glory days! -

F-4E Phantom Reskin Request
GASCAN39 replied to ebe2000's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Wow, you are fast...... ADC skins always had a little more flavor to them, especially on the F-4. Those always reminded me of the colorful Marine and Navy F-4s. -
One of the guys here at Cedar stumbled across that last week, funny and strange at the same time. If they would get them out picking up trash, they would not have time to dance

The Brits have always been touted for their "in the weeds" abilities. The old man got to go for a backseat jaunt in a Buc from XV Squadron at Laarbruch. When they landef he asked for a clean pair of underwear - (upon returning from taking a brit up in an F-4, the brit commented that he was not used to flying that high) I got to see a pair of them beating up the countryside while we were on the Autobahn that same year, something to behold!

Wow, I guess this kind of thing was inevitable. I have watched these events on the likes of FOX News, and alot of times you will be watching one image and see another aircraft blow through the picture, so I imagine it can be a bit of an uncoordinated airshow........ Charges against the driver....... that would be a first I would not want my name attached to!

Your Sweetheart's Name
GASCAN39 replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
She thought it was humorous, (And a sad use of my spare time!), she actually provided constructive criticism, to which I responded "Better that I used a cartoon than to ask you to pose for me!!!!" -
F-16A ADF Aeronautica Militare
GASCAN39 replied to Dave's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - File Announcements
Nice skins, I did not know the Italians were even using this! (I live in a desert, literally) Fired this jet up and became an ace in one mission, (Wingman got about 3 or 4 as well!) I am sure it was a sad day when the F-104 retired...... -

Wrench, yeah, I noticed you had some Bettie's in the dowload of your "What If?...." Eagle FGR.1. (The desert, pink one) I added one of my own, a painting of Bettie sitting topless, looks awesome. Guess I should honor the wife with nose art, she puts up with alot......... -
F-104 question
GASCAN39 posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
I was reading on that 'other' forum (SimHq) that Jet Z had a A-19 mod for the F-104. I tried unsuccessfully to send email. Anyone who can help with this would be appreciated Gascan39 -
Your Sweetheart's Name
GASCAN39 replied to Lt. James Cater's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Saucy Bettie P - Reference to Bettie Page. I did a decal (not suitable for non-adults) with here likeness, and especially love the art featuring her in Playboy. (Her as a red leather clad devil makes me seek out "quality alone time", but I digress.......... Nose art, women's names, etc. always fascinated me. Nothing wrong with naming an aircraft you are intimate with, besides like Gunnery Sgt Hartmann says..... "This is the only p*&$y you people will be getting" .....This is my rifle, there are many like it, but this one is mine....... -
He is gonna be hooked on these sims like us!!!! Hilarious video/pics

F-104 question
GASCAN39 replied to GASCAN39's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Outstanding, flew a mission in the Cuba terrain (cigars anyone?) and trounced some of Fidel's -21s. (Then hit the target, it was a strike mission!) There is an A model at the Robins AFB museum with the same white wings as this particular model, nicely done Out here Gascan -

Thank you, sir! This will help quench my thirst for flying the zipper hither and yon....... -
Nice yard in the pix, god I miss grass..... Went to the AF museum during Christmas while I was en route to see my brother and family in Columbus. I had to drag my wife around, she gets bored. I made a big fuss about taking the bus out to the hangars on base, she did think the Air Force One displays were cool. I really wanted to see the Mig-29, but was told after getting out there that it is being restored for display. Yeah, I was pi$$ed...... I could really spend a week at that museum, there is so much to see and admire.
