SA-6 and SA-8s. There probably are some SA-5s left though. Great job, France!

http://www.thecourier.co.uk/News/Fife/article/11976/raf-leuchars-saying-farewell-treble-one-s-tornado-f3s.html So ends one era with the retirement of the last F3s from RAF service. And so ends another with the disbandment of 111(F) Squadron, after 94 years of service.

I got Grand Theft Auto IV off of Steam on Monday. Won't start the game, not even a main menu. That's $40 and several hours of my life I won't get back. I got my laptop to play games (GTAIV, Fallout 3, etc) that are on consoles, but with all the fun mods. If this is how Steam works, then I'll stick to SF2.

This is quite the Mirage. Looks like a fun challenge to fly.

I've had Avast on my desktop and it's worked well. But when I went on their website all I could find were payware versions.

Hey guys I got my M11x and I'm amazed by it. Needs anti-virus though. Are there any free anti-virus softwares out there that are reliable? Want to be safe before I start browsing the web and downloading mods with it.

Spinners, your Yak is going to need a new reporting name. The Su-34 already has that. Your lighting in the first picture looks really cool though. How'd you do that?

Found this on Airliners.net. Has some images of the F-2s and a UH-60J. Heard the Blue Impulse T-4s and some U-125s were damaged too. A shame, but when compared to the loss of human life, the damage done to these aircraft means nothing. http://www.kaskus.us/showthread.php?t=7420803

That B-58 looks huge. I'll be going in April (maybe, that or Nellis). Wish the lighting was better in the museum. Not that it mattered, I left the disposable camera with all my pictures on the airliner I took home! Good shots, Dave. Love that museum.

I second Lavi. P.1154 YA-9 YA-7F X-32 and the proposed, less ugly production model.

I've got an Echo1 (rebranded JG) CAR-15 (M4 before the M4 was designed) that's a couple years old now and shooting between 390 and 410 FPS. Very reliable and well built. Be careful with the stock though. I slipped during a winter airsoft war and dropped the carbine. Stock broke, but some rubber cement and electric tape fixed it up again. I've also got a JG MP5SD6 which has a better rate of fire but lower velocity. It's also really reliable. I like it more, but that may be my personal bias towards the MP5 in general. Don't buy one of those 1,000+ mags. I've seen them jam up a lot. The grenade launchers are stupid too, as are the landmines. Waste of money that just shower the BBs. I'd save the money for a gas powered pistol instead. Same goes for optics. Wind is going to carry a 6mm .20g BB moving at 400FPS. A 5.56x45mm NATO round, not so much.

Flying to Malta I hope?

Great pictures. Reminds me of what happened here in central/north New England and in parts of NY on December 12, 2008. Nothing like hell freezing over in a night.

I'm looking at getting a laptop for gaming. Only thing is, it has to be cheap. I'm interested in the Alienware M11x. Anyone have it? If so, what can you run SF2 at FPS and detail wise? I'm also useless at understanding system specs, so could someone could tell me if Fallout 3, Grand Theft Auto IV, or ARMA 2 would be able to run on it at high detail levels? Or, are there any other good, yet cheap gaming laptops out there? I'd prefer something with an NVIDIA graphics card.

Damn kids

This is a cool story. Interesting that they considered the F-105. Funny, because when I first got WOE, I'd fly F-105s in Belgian colors.

So that first system put down a couple more inches of snow than we were expecting. Light puffy stuff though. Today's mix is crap. Killed my grandfather's snowblower. The F-350 that usually plows out my apartment's driveway couldn't push this heavy icy mix so a backhoe was used instead. Nice glaze on my car. Had some hail around 5:30 PM when I was freeing my car. Looks like another inch has landed here since then.

I wasn't expecting an SF1 version. Thanks for this Recon Rhino.

Eleven Cats left... Dare I ask how many there were when the disposal began?

Axe the F-35B. If the Marines need more Harriers, they can always get some from the RAF. If the whole F-35 program was to get axed, which of the following would be the most cost effective alternative? Purchase more Block 50/52+ Vipers Overhaul and upgrade older, low hour Vipers at AMARG to modern standards Block 60s (Wouldn't we have to pay royalties to the UAE from some stupid reason then?) Purchase a smaller number of F-15Es ...Super Hornets
