  1. Carl - "Oh, Mister Gopher, it's me Mister Squirrel, I'm not some kind of plastic explosive or anything" - Ty - "You do drugs Danny?" Danny - "Everyday" Ty - "Good Boy" To this day I love this movie, walked around quoting from it in high school, having not even seen it yet. And I curse the person that released that trash sequel!
  2. Disregard my last, found the issue, it was at my end. All is well......
  3. Tried to download, only shows .99 mb. and indicates that the file is corrupt while extracting.
  4. Can't wait to get the Aussie A-4, German F-86, and the VMFA-321 F-4. You folks that do these decal/skin sets are talented, and I admire all the hard work! I can't even start on a campaign, cause every time I turn around, a new scheme comes out for one of the planes and I just HAVE to fly around with it!
  5. Absolutley awesome. I don't fly the F-104 much, but that skin/decal set will entice me! Can't wait to get the Aussie A-4, German F-86, and lo viz F-4 scheme. Keep up the great work!
  6. Is the F-4 hi res skin ready for download.? I don't see it anywhere.
  7. That would be great. I think it is a pretty awesome paint scheme. Loved the 141st schemes also.
  8. Thoughts and prayers for a safe return. That goes for all our folks out there on the tip of the spear. and in the immortal words of Wyatt Earp in Tombstone: " You tell them I'm coming, and hell is coming with me"
  9. Think tiwaz was doing this skin for the F-4C/D. I remember seeing a preview of it, but never saw it released. Will it be done soon?
  10. I must say I believe this one is my new favorite skin of the E models thus far. BEEYOUTEEFULL!
  11. Had the sad privilege of witnessing a missing man for a pilot and wso killed in Egypt in 1980. The funeral was at a cemetary next to my neighborhood close to Moody AFB GA. As today, the four F-4s came from behind the crowd, and #3 (I assume) pulled up hard and was a little more impressive than the T-38 doing it. (I think they all had wing tanks too, not bad) People in the neighborhood were thinking of filing a complaint with Moody, Till I told them what the missing man was, and the fact that the guy lived around the corner from all of them, and they changed their tune. That phantom pulling up hard gave me goosebumps
  12. For the record, Bush was through with his speech, and back in the crowd standing next to his wife looking skyward. I must admit, I would have liked to see the planes as everyone on camera was looking at the sky for them. They came from behind the crowd and startled the President.
  13. Reproduced this one I saw in a book on Gunships
  14. Beautiful scheme. I remember seeing pix of that unit's F-4s, only the Guard could get away with painting tigers on the side of the nose!!

  16. Looks good, can you do one for this unit? VMFA-351
  17. Yeah, seen pix of the single seater. The GIB came later. Hence the derogatory name for the F-4 "Double Ugly". Drones regularly were/are flown by aircrew for test purposes. I don't know if the same crews fly it from the ground for live fire exercises or what. I do know a Tomcat shot down an RF-4C by accident over the Gulf of Mexico. It was a training exercise, so the 64 million dollar question was, why the hell was the Turkey carrying live missles? Both crewman escaped unharmed, and were plucked from the gulf by the Coast Guard I believe. Happened in 88 or 89.
  18. "Q" signifies drones. I am not an expert, but I guess they rig 'em up with hardware to fly it from the ground, and use 'em as targets. A fate no F-4 should be subjected to, in my opinion. Been to Tyndall AFB in Florida, and seen a flight line full of Air Force E and G models lined up for the same fate.
  19. QF-4B from Pacific Missle Test Center, Mugu
