  1. sweet looking aircraft there. Can't wait to buzz around in that!
  2. Thank you sirs, I appreciate it!
  3. Who Cares?

    Overpaid and Over pampered, I say..... Our society makes me sick sometimes. I live in the Southeast, and people almost went into vapor lock one day when a race car driver passed away in an accident. It was all we heard about. How many people know that same day 25 MARINES died when two helicopters collided off of Hawaii? Where are the "Gone but not Forgotten" window decals for them? My father flew F-4s in the Air Force. He and his buddies were my heros, the celebrities that I looked up to if you will. I thought most of the "Celebs" were moving out of the U.S. do to the "Invasion of Iraq", why do I still see the same ones on TV when I watch it?
  4. I like the way this one flies. I downloaded some skins to augment the plane. It looks good in Cuban colors. I always like the Mig 21s, but this model was definitely unique. I like the visibility from the cockpit. So far I have only gone against F-104s, and F-4Es. (I actually have a harder time with the 104 for some reason, splashed a couple of Phantoms though!) Did I screw up the install, or is the stick missing from the pit? Great job, I will fly this one for some time!
  5. You can have your MiG rides...

    Aw, man, we have enough in savings, but the old lady would kill me! Yes, I would forego the Mig rides to go up in the jet my dad flew. He would turn green with envy!
  6. I downloaded the excellent Mig-21 series pits by Paladrian (sp)? I see in the screen shot that a control stick appears, not getting one in game. Don't know what I missed, and my spanish is not so mui bien (sp)
  7. Still an awesome pit though! Always like this jet, and the F model with it's unique lines compared to the rest of the series. The cool forward hinged canopy is the shizzle too.
  8. Son Is Now Deployed

    Hopefully he will be at a larger base with some civilized facilities. We are building up where I am to prep for closure of two smaller posts across the river from us. This place was only meant to be here for 6 months, but has been up for years. The logistics has been tough, and now with expansion, we are further behind. I am just a "fobbit", but the word is that the battle in the city has been won. We have not had incoming in months, the most excitement in that respect was last month while passing through Baghdad to go out on R&R. (two rockets impacting with 300 meters, too close for me!) May all of the service members I proudly serve return home soon, and in one peace!!! BG
  9. How the heck did you come up with that?

    GASCAN is just a play off my last name (Was the old man's call sign when he flew in the AF) The number 39 is what I wore on any jerseys I wore growing up. (No particular reason)
  10. This mod is the shi'ite. I have been admiring the nose art!! I kind of have a whole fantasy thing going (not with the nose art mind you) about re-established Eagle Squadrons flying what else..... the Eagle FGR.1. I have the whole gaggle of them based in Dhimar, defending that all-too-plentiful Dhimari petrol. God Save the Queen........ Shagadelic baby......
  11. Robin Olds

    The man flew missions in a couple of different wars, and exemplified a true fighter pilot and leader. I have read some of his stories, seen him interviewed, and viewed him as a hero growing up, not some overpaid athlete, movie star, or race car driver. Everytime I see an F-4 C or D, I wonder if it was one he or his unit flew in Vietnam on some of the more daring and memorable flights. Rest in Peace
  12. Memorial Day Weekend

    To all Service Members (Especially those in Ramadi, whom I proudly serve) Thank you for your service and sacrafice. These young men and women and their loved ones are always in my prayers. Salute
  13. Roll Call

    Better late than never........ Would have answered roll call earlier, but was in transit (R&R, headed to Cancun for a sure to be memorable all inclusive!)
  14. Ghost Recon Advanced Bug finder

    I bought the full version (don't have it with me here, it is home), and liked it okay. Don't recall any bugs. I must say, I really loved the original GR, and like you, bought those add ons the minute they came out. I just recently fired up GR, and am pi$$ed that I left the expansion disks at home. Playing on a laptop pretty much sucks, I downloaded Raven Shield, but this laptop is quite outdated, so it would not even load. I have been burning up bandwidth downloading expansions, I always loved the embassy map in GR, quite fun!
  15. Demographic Similarities of Virtual Pilots

    Happy Birthday to me! Turning the big Four Two today, and have been playing flight sims since age 19 (MSFS on a C64!) I don't have much time these days, as I am working a contract in Iraq (7 days a week); but my laptop (such as it is) sits on my desk, and every now and then I crank up SFP1 (obsessed with the Yak-41 of late). Growing up as an air force brat, I fell in love with the smell of JP-5, and wanted to be a military pilot. I ended up in the fire service, but still love flying and aviation in general. (The day after thanksgiving, I paid to go up in a Stearman (Navy N3N actually) and did aerobatics northwest of Atlanta. Nothing beats acro in an open cockpit! If it had not been for the holiday travels, I probably could have gotten a significant number of flying lessons working toward a license. Maybe at the end of this contract year :yes: So, the only thing I can do is fly the sims on a pc, which has been curbed drastically with this job (I used to sit for a whole day flying missions, or playing other games, so I guess reality and being a responsible adult keeps me from it as much!)
  16. One of the best books I have ever read. He puts you right in the cockpit. Also, "My Secret War", written by a guy that flew A-1 Skyraiders (SPADS) in the war. He flew mostly at night, in storms, and this was another one that made you feel as though you were in the cockpit.
  17. What was you fav off the wall Sci-Fi movie

    Oh, most definitely "KILLER CLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE" and what was that Rob Zombie film? House of 1000 corpses?

  22. Excellent work gang! I have been enjoying this jet lately. It is unique, and will lead to more enjoyment from this game. I can't think of any other game/sim that I have played as long as the SFP series.
