  1. Always found it interesting how many camos and variations of them that the USAF A-7s wore. Very fond of the two tone grey.
  2. Oh the humble Greyhound! Thanks Wrench and Coyote Aerospace team!
  3. Oh that’s interesting. Definitely explains why! Thanks

    Your First Sim

    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004, followed by Wings Over Europe. I apologize for making any of you feel old. Truth be told it definitely seems like I missed the golden age of flight sim options.
  5. Flying the F-4C in 1986 is a challenge. You hope for the F-15s to take on the Flankers, Fulcrums, and Flogger Ks, but no they're off dealing with some Frogfoots, so it's up to the Weekend Warriors from California in their 20 year old crates to deal with them.
  6. Just tried it for the first time. It's a fun change! T-33s and Sea Furys prove to a decent opponent for a Scooter. Encountered the same early ending after only two missions though. Is it possible that the campaign ends if too much of the enemy air force is destroyed?
  7. Figured as much. Guess it's time to do the Vietnam thing and stuff some chaff into the airbrakes with some ini editing.
  8. Playing NATO Fighters V 1986 campaign, rather bravely I might add, in the Cali ANG F-4C. To my surprise it has no chaff or flares! Would the F-4Cs being flown by the Air National Guard in the 1980s really not have countermeasures?
  9. Been away from this for too long. Little bit of Wild Weasel IV action to get back into it. Ended up getting smacked out of the sky by an SA-11...some things never change!
  10. OTC was always one of my favorite mods so I'm excited to try this!
  11. Oh hell yeah this keeps me employed too lol
  12. Ukraine MoD has released a video showing AGM-88s on a MiG-29
  13. I never have time to play SF2 anymore, but I still enjoy coming here and seeing the new mods, especially all the recent insurgent and Taliban stuff you've been making, GKABS. PS: I don't want to be that guy, but it's Afghan. Afghani is the currency
  14. Should be fun! Thanks
  15. Been a hot minute since I've been able to play SF2 at all since I changed shifts at work, but last weekend I finally upgraded to the current version of the mod. Still an awesome job done by all. Really enjoy it. Game suddenly decided it won't work anymore on my computer, but that's either on SF2 or my hardware. Due for an upgrade anyway!

    Two Decades

    Wow 20 years! Congrats Erik and all CA staff! I won't bring up how young old I was 20 years ago
  17. Congrats! Making a career out of the Army?
  18. I've read that the numbers in this chart are from 2017. Fair to say the numbers are wrong considering the amount of pilots that fled to Uzbekistan with their aircraft. Same. Humvees will go NMC for no good reason even if you give them a full, by the book PMCS (but who actually does that?!)
  19. Looking forward to trying this out over the weekend. Appreciate the ops limits being posted too.
  20. No, it was on an OSINT page that up until now had been fairly reliable. But that's the problem with open source I guess. Thanks.
  21. So Ahmad Shah Massoud's son raised the Northern Alliance flag in Panjshir and some remaining elements of the ANA and AAF have also made their way there. I guess it's 1998 again?
  22. I know I was just a fobbit over there, but feel free to message me if you need to talk. These are hard times for a lot of OEF vets. Unfortunate fun fact: one of the State Department Air Wing CH-46s that was taking part in the Kabul evacuation was on the USS Hancock during Operation Frequent Wind.
  23. Apparently the ANA Commando Corps was ordered to stand down and let the Taliban march in to Mazar-i-Sharif. They seemed to be the only element of the ANA to have some fight in them.
  24. Taliban has entered Kabul with little resistance. Guess it's over. Eight years ago today I deployed to Afghanistan. And today the Taliban will probably take the country.
