GASCAN39

Personally lost two Joes to the family dog when I was seven. Good to see them thinning out the rodent populace. Got banned from the neighbors house for taking my Joes over to get a little "me love you long time" from their daughter's barbies. Joe was a good guy, til he started drinking. No means no soldier!

Nice Looking buggy there! Hey, can you do a Ferrari 340 GT?

Sad, he will be missed. I remember as a teenager loving the "seven word" routine. I was impressed that he had a flair for adult comedy, but would do voiceovers for kiddy shows and movies. Rest In Peace

Aw man, that looks frikkin awesome! I love the whole "What If" design line. Hope it makes it into "production" so to speak...

Excellent work! This jet rocks! The cockpit is impressive, excellent skins as well. Thanks for this effort, I will never tire of this!

I agree Jug! There was an E-6 with the last unit at Camp Falcon that got her old elementrary school at home to send packages to soldiers that normally did not get anything. She had complete lists compiled of soldiers that were going through a hard time, their favorite snacks and sports teams, etc. The packages poured into that base during the last year, and many a soldier got a bright day!

November of 05 I was at Mosul, Iraq working at the fire dept. The Alaska ARNG had three UH-60s there to support the commander of MNF-N. Occasionally, he would fly over to Speicher, where there happened to be a Pizza Hut. We gathered up money and gave it to one of the crew chiefs. They finally made it over there and had time to send someone over to pick up our much anticipated pizza. We had actually given up, then one day, the control tower called our dispatcher to say that there were to UH-60s inbound that requested assistance. Being fire guys, we assumed the worst. Bells were ringing, guys running to trucks, etc. I walked outside to see the two birds approaching the field at a pretty good pace. They flared, and landed on the taxiway next to us. The crew chief of the lead bird jumped out with a big stack of pizzas for us. Ahhhh, tax dollars at work.......

That Greek F-4 skin looks great wrench! Someone had done a greek skin for the Typhoon that looked awesome as well. Hope to see more skins from the region as well....

The -38 has some age on it, but overall, hasn't it had a good safety record? Especially factoring in all of the noobs that strap it on in training. I don't know if the pace is as high as it once was, but in the 70s when the old man flew them, everybody in the squadron got three flights a day, sometimes six days a week. (This was fighter lead in training at holloman, UPT units may have been different.) Regardless, stand downs will be conducted I am sure, but I doubt anyone's confidence will be shaken that badly. It is still one sexy bird, despite it's age.

This looks nice, i hope you continue with it. Am I mistaken, or was there a poor man's AWACS version of this planned in the 70s? Killed alot brain cells since then, so could be mistaken.......

Dunno if I would say jinxed; all of our military aircraft are being flown to the limit in two different theaters. Would have to look at the number of sorties/hours flown in the last five years of all fixed wing and rotary wing then compare to mishaps/losses. I know the OH-58s are hitting the benchmark to undergo phase maint. in half the time they normally do in peacetime. BONES are loitering over the battlespace for multiple hours, then flying back to their forward base.

Hopefully, just a case of hot brakes. It sounded on AFN as they egressed after landing. Hot brakes will catch fire if severe enough, plenty of F-18s at Al Asad doing that the last few years. A crash truck can douse that with a roof or bumper turret though. If it was internal, a hand line would have to be stretched, crash crew would have to enter with all that gear, and try to find the area of origin......

The new A-6A skins for the RAZBAM release are outstanding! I have enjoyed this product since it's release, these skins make it even better. Are there plans for some of the E models as well?

LOVE the nose art graphics!

my all time fave tv series

Guns kills are the shizzle! Was egressing the target (First mission, 67 campaign) and diverted to chase a Mig21F on final to Cairo West. Tried to lead him from 90 degrees off his nose in a Mirage III. That did not work, so just lined up and got him from his 6 at very close range. He never knew what hit him!

Outstanding job on this bird, love the way it handles. The cockpit is incredible as well. Great work everyone

distributing mig parts I see........

Nice shots there, I had been flying the B-58 a whole bunch before downloading WOI. Trying to fiddle with cockpits for it and all. That last pic you put up looks like an old SAC cartoon I remember, (B-52 instead of Hustler, with mushroom cloud and background) - with the caption "Now, it's MILLER TIME!"

2 funny!!!

This game rocks, this whole series is outstanding work, thanks TK and team. I love the aircraft and the pits, no problems runnig it as of yet.

downloading as we speak! This looks awesome!

Wow, just now started playing this campaign, It is awesome. I love the small airfields, and the other added extras. Great work!!!

One of my dad's buddies flew as an IP with them at McDill (F-4 era). Hate to see units with a proud history go out of business. The old man was an IP at Homestead in F-4Ds, and they flew against the McDill guys when they got F-16s. There were issues at first, due to the short legged F16s, more than one parked in the gulf!!! I imagine the first engagements between these two jets resulted in the original version of that famous line from TOPGUN - "Where'd he go!?!" 'Where'd who go!?!"

I took the wife for a half day spa treatment, (The only way I can get away with another woman rubbing on me!) Complete with chocolate covered strawberries and champagne. She left her wedding band in the changing room, less than a week after losing the diamond out of the engagement ring I got her 17 years ago. She has quite a bit to work off now that I think about it.................. :yes:
