Gross. I'm gonna go watch Battle of Britain to wash my eyes out.

Hitler rant parodies are always a good laugh this one is no different. But closing the road for two days has caused outrage? Wow. Anyone remember the Big Dig in Boston?

I can relate to this, my father showed me Star Wars for the first time when I was around 2 years old (1995-1996). He claims to have shown me Return of the Jedi first but I remember watching A New Hope first. There were soon many action figures and ships on the living room floor. Conveniently the digitally remastered version was coming out around that time too. Most memorable scene is probably something to do with an X-Wing, Darth Vader saying "No, I am you father", or any Boba Fett scene. It's interesting to look back and realize that as a child you like the Rebel alliance but as you get older the Empire becomes so much more cooler. Streakeagle, I think the second Jango action figure that came out had a magnetic head.

That's awesome! Congrats!

I don't know daddyairplanes, I'd be rather proud to say I'm the first squirrel to get run over and live by a Lamborghini. P.S. The sound of that 6.5L V12 is amazing.

Was that at the airshow in Rhode Island? There's a small museum at the airport with a couple A-4s and an A-6. If memory serves me right there's a Blues A-4 as well. They have an F4H-1 as well.

That Bucc just keeps looking better and better. Quick question about the A-16 because I always get mixed up on it. Was there both an internally mounted 30mm and a gun pod?

It's happened to be plenty of times since I've started. Can't tell you how many times I've ended up uninstalling because of it too. I have been in that mode for almost a year now. But soon... (aka when I buy the SF2 series and ask two million questions about what I'm missing) But like MiGBuster said, there are so many jets. One is bound to respike your interest.

And I was starting to think he'd never be caught. Great news for Boston.

The Simorgh was originally the Iraqi AWACS wasn't it? Baghdad or something?

Usually I'd just say BS and leave it at that, but judging by the rest of the videos this guy has on his account and the images on flickr, I'd say it's a legit video. I thought all the F-117As were in the hangars at Tonopah, partly dissembled.

I picked up Red River yesterday. For the Xbox I will admit. I had Dragon Rising on it as well. It's ok. I like it better than Dragon Rising in certain ways. Better sky boxes, the PLA aren't sniping me from 500 meters anymore, more weapons, and much better explosions. Not having helicopters, tanks, or APC/IFVs was nice too. Hated the controls for the helicopter. Arma 2's are bad at times but DR's were the worst ever. Red River also felt a little less sluggish which was nice. I prefer not taking five minutes to load a SMAW to kill a PLA APC that's causing me to bleed out. Honestly though it just feels like a tactical Call of Duty compared to ArmA 2. The staff sergeant cursing every other word gets annoying after awhile too.

Rock, some metal, OSTs, some classical, some blues and jazz. But mostly rock. You know some video games have pretty good OSTs.

BRUINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My CAD teacher gave my class the introduction for a project on Friday. We're building our own balsa wood gliders, starting off with just three sheets of balsa and a blank slate. Aside from the physical model, we also have to build a 3D model of it on the computer and write up a report. Finally, we get to fly them, but not after testing our design on some software. This is one of the only projects I've ever had that's interested me. A good way to graduate, I'd say. We can either reverse engineer the model of an actual aircraft or make our own design. Because I have little to no creative talent, I'm going to base my model on a U-2. I'm a little worried about the Dragonlady's tail. I may not have the amount of balsa needed to built it. So I'm going to improvise, probably with an F-104's tail. With any good size scrap pieces, I may build a MiG-21 or Mirage III, just to see how useless the principles of a delta wing are in gliding. If any one is interested, once the physical model is built, I'll take some pictures.

That was a North Korean freighter that had been caught carrying heroin. The RAN seized it after it ran off course or something like that.

Hoping the poor performance by the Red Sox down in Florida was just a fluke and they'll win tomorrow. Good thing they're playing down in Texas. It's SNOWING in Mass right now.

Some of those Floggers have their former operator's markings crudely sprayed over.

Like how the media thinks that every single weapon from M1911s to M60s are AK-47s?

I'm looking into purchasing my first firearm, but because of my age and Massachusetts laws, I can't own a high capacity (10+ rounds here) rifle until I'm 21. But .22s are treated differently. These sound like a much better alternative to the 10/22. Can I get a link or two with more info about these .22LR semi-auto MP5s and AKs?

Happy birthday, Dave!

Congrats!

Good luck Israel. You'll always have my support.
