Here's a couple of books: The Fledgling, by Arthur "Arch" Whithouse. An excellent autobiography of an American in the RFC-RAF. Wind in the Wires, by Captain Duncan Grinnel-Milne. Another autobiography of a man, this time a Briton, who was in the RFC and RAF. He also wrote another book about his two years as a German prisoner.

I've only gone to the Air Zoo once. It was a few months ago, and it was pretty amazing. They actually let you go inside this paratrooper plane, (A C-47, maybe? My memory's kinda fuzzy) it's really claustrophobic even with only half a dozen other people in there. I was called away after 15 minutes by a family emergency. Every other time I have tried to go there, something has made it impossible. In fact, just a few days ago my best friend and I were planning an all day trip. We had our tickets, and yesterday morning as we were making last-minute preparations, I feel a wave of nausea... I was out of commission for sixteen hours, over the course of which I emptied my digestive system of undercooked Chinese food and Fritos. This quickly degenerated into the flu, so I am typing this from my bed. "Whenever I close my eyes, I see strange geometric figures running crazily about in a brightly colored, splatter-painted limbo. I have stopped closing my eyes." The joke is on me, as I ended up actually being sick home from school. I try to go to the Air Zoo, I really do. Fate just likes being a jerk to me.

Man I have GOT to go there.

I think they should put more consideration on the Gripen, a tried and true machine, than the F-35, which is still in development and will take a few years after release to work all the kinks out.

Sucks.

"What you say!!" Dang. Nice finding it, though. EDIT: Heeeeey...

Most people who know of webcomics like them, and that is because they are awesome. I thought I'd share with you my favorites, ergo, the only ones I read right now: -The Adventures of Dr. McNinja -Bunny -Ctrl+Alt+Del -Cyanide and Happiness -Dinosaur Comics -Married to the Sea -Penny Arcade -The Perry Bible Fellowship -Toothpaste for Dinner -We the Robots -XKCD If you have any favorite webcomics, or perhaps a webcomic of your own, please link to them here, we would all love to see them! EDIT: 'Weebcomics', God damn it...

My condolences.

I know it sucks to lose a pet, especially one you've had for years. My condolences.

So, I was heading over to your site to get the AlphaJet UVMaps, and what should I find, but that Firefox has mysteriously disavowed any knowledge of my password information! And as if that wasn't bad enough, I have forgotten the password too. What should I do? Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Righto

So you're Barney Fife?

Happy birthday!

Le suck.

Flight Simulator X was a disappointment for one reason: I don't have enough hard drive space to run it!

At least it wasn't Kevin Bacon.

Well, at least the thief had taste. That trim was SO last year.

I have but one that I can think of: Blazing Angels: Squadrons of WWII. That game was a travesty. Especially for the Wii. It's like, with the controls, they weren't even trying. Rotating and twisting and flailing the nunchuck and breaking your wrist in the process of making your hurricane doing a left turn is not what I call a solid game mechanic. The Wiimote looks just like a joystick, but they cant have you rest it on your thigh and pivot it like a stick. Oh no. That would make sense. The sad thing is, that it was a pretty nice game aside from that. Very fun. Just unplayable. I have learned my lesson: never buy a game without reading at least three reviews of it online. No exceptions, except for maybe Zelda. But that's it.

OH BOY I WANT ONE ...just kidding.

Nice!

For me, It all started with my brother's copy of "X-Wing Collector Series Edition" when I was six. Me and my brother played the hell out of that game until the disc was unusable four years later. I never got around to replacing it. So far, with a rough average of around five hours a day (two hours a day for the first two years, then eight hours a day the last year) for four years, approximately 7,000 hours, if my calculations are correct. Rogue Squadron for the Nintendo 64 became an interest shortly after my introduction to X-Wing, and I still play it today. Because I never spent very much time on it, I have a total of 750 hours on that, thus a total of 7,750 hours. For a period after that, the only flight sim I played was X-Wing Alliance, but never to the scale of X-Wing. 1,500 hours, total 9,250 hours. I acquired First Eagles in March 2007, and WOV in November 2007. Total from both games: approximately 4,500 hours. My total flight sim hours are: 13,750 hours well spent, over the course of ten years. I hope to have a total of at least 100,000 hours by 2018.

Link This is the new Speed Racer movie, scheduled for 2008. It has been in development since 1992, and I wish it was still in development hell, so that we wouldn't be polluted with its presence. Don't get me wrong, I loved the cartoon. My uncle had a few episodes on VHS (commercials intact) and he gave them to me when I was small. I used to watch them all the time, until it was too much for the magnetic tape and *snap*. The thing that really upsets me about it? Emile Hirsch as Speed. Emile Hirsch as Speed. The man's 22 years old! If I do remember correctly (it's been nearly ten years), Speed was around 13. Even if I am wrong, which is likely, Emile Hirsch is still useless. Maybe I'm being too hard on the movie. But after seeing the previews, I realized; no, I'm not. By the way, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull comes out May 22nd 2008! I'm surprised someone hasn't started a topic about it!
