I've always been surprised by the blase attitude we have towards flight. Think about it, flying. It's no small feat, almost ridiculous when you seriously think about it. We have the right to be surprised by crashes, but it's not so reasonable to be taken aback at the fact that crashes happen, as we see in the recent months with the EA-6 for example; manipulating air to buoy up tons of metal is a young science, with more than a few kinks to work out. With that said, does anybody know what the cause of the crash was?

Two weeks.

On Feb 16, I finally got my crap together and took a three-hour trip to the Air Zoo. Here are some of my favorite shots I thought I'd share. If the shots are crap, you can attribute it to either my unsteady grasp, or my hardware, a 2 mpx camera phone. You also have the dubious merit of a caption on every picture. First, here's the F-14A Tomcat of VF-84 "Jolly Rogers", serial No. 160395 (to the best of my knowledge, the picture I took of the serial is all fuzzy): The immortal P-40: The best fighter ever built, the SPAD XIII: The Wright Flyer: This one's for you, Major Lee: F/A-18 Hornet: During the month of February, one can sit in the pit of a designated plane. Here's me in the F-14; it was hands down the best 90 seconds of my life: If you wish, you can view the whole album HERE.

Ouch! Well, me being a civvy and all, I just stand in line with the rest and take the least amount of time in the pit, thank you very much.

Aah! Lucky! Well, the line was long and I wanted to give the little kids a chance.

That sounds like a pretty sweet job. I too am a TV pilot though. Small world, eh?

Awesomesauce!

:rofl:

RIP, Arrow. Could have been one hell of an interceptor, certainly better than anything we ever had.

In terms of size, it's more like the den.

Well hey, that's an integral part. You should be proud! As for me, I once taped a makeshift wing to an inflatable sled and tried to glide on it. No success.

This looks great, it's nice to keep my medals!

Haha! Niiice!

I agree with Bounder. Send them moral support, and a very strong democratic influence. However, we must not forget that independence is a very sensitive issue for both sides, I wander how Serbia's going to react? The last thing we need is to kick off yet another century with a war in the Balkans.

That is exactly why you are not in charge here.

:rofl: BTW, that movie syncs up with almost scary precision to wait for it... All By Myself, by Eric Carmen!

I sure hope this doesn't mean another war.

Wow! Very nice!

You know, wouldn't it be easier to do the same thing with unguided rockets?

As long as Blu-Ray plays my old DVDs, I don't really care who won.

I remember that I was searching for something having to do with WWI aviation on YouTube, which isn't always as easy as it should be on the original Internet Channel for the Wii. After a bit, I came across this video . I was in love. My mom got me First Eagles for my 13th birthday, and I played it non stop for about a week. Buzzing about on the internet, I noticed that it was part of a "Strike Fighters" franchise, and that one could get these things called "mods" for free! On March 31, I joined this forum to download some mods and learn more about the game. For me, the rest is history.
