Not dirty Diana

I am not a half people! ;-) Dude, just scatch it if you want to! Glad to hear from you!

Well, Life was already crazy enough for me the last month... It's getting me a bit more confused and unstable... A mere six weeks ago I lost a good friend. We were both UNPROFOR vets and I hung out with him on several occasions. He was only 43, he died in an accident. Two and a half weeks later, again a friend of mine died unexpectedly. We both did our tour in Bosnia together and although he had a fragile health, we never saw it coming. He was 47 and we had his birthday a mere 3 weeks before he died. Again, two and a half weeks after that, a good friend of mine was found dead in his home, He was a Dutchbat 3 veteran who had just rebuilt his life after a troublesome past. He bought a car and had nice summer plans this year. After a silence of 4 days, some buddies checked his house and found him dead, natural causes it states. He was only 44... Today, to my surprise I found out that a buddy of mine has decided a month ago to go to Syria to help the Kurdish peshmerga fight the bastards of IS.... He too, a Dutchbat 3 veteran in his forties.... At this moment, I cannot fully grasp what is happening close around me.... 3 close deaths in exactly one month, a fellow veteran who now is in Syria (and we have FB contact with regular updates and pictures...), damn..... Just had to write it off of me.... Iwan

Most of the times I am not that harsh, but seeing the damage and grief he has caused I hope he gets the death penalty... I am afraid though that in these political correct times he'll get an easy prison sentence...

Well, be happy there IS a Yak-28P! It's not that it is the most coveted aircraft in sim world! ;-)

Going for some noob ass kicking.

Cafe au lait.

Phew!

Flanker and Fulcrum aren't even factory names of the a/c.... they originate as NATO aircraft codes, in which the first letter (the F in this case being Fighter) points to the a/c expected role. So MiG and Sukhoi and any other "Red" manufacturer do not have owners rights over these...

"Yea maybe"... sounds like a real motivated effort...

Dayum!

EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks all. If it weren't for my commitments at home (my son and a woman I love) I would have done something like that too. I always had military blood running through my veines and no arthrosis or PTSD would stop me. Better to die for freedom than live in captivity, whether literally or as a figure of speech.Nowadays, we in the western world are mostly held captive by the over-tolerant left political climate. During my tour in Bosnia I have seen what "civilised" people can do to eachother, and we weren't allowed to actively intervene by force... those were politically made UN mandates... rules on paper. I know it is better to act than to discuss, and I would have tried to make a difference again if it were possible. So, in a way I am proud of my friend and a few other acquaintances who decided to go to IS territory and fight against them, by joining the Kurds. They seem the only group willing and capable to stand up against those fanatical morons... As for my friends... Losing them hurts... yep... Losing 3 in one month is a heavy blow. I am happy to know they had all honours at their funerals and I wish to have the same at mine.... but I am planning to annoy and irritate people for some more decades to come! See you later, Muesli!

There's no supply without demand, so thank you too!

Ooooooooohhh!!!!

Does that work for the engine sounds, too? I seem to have the same trouble with the radials on some a/c.
