Rambler 1-1

Recon in an F-104G, got chased by 4 MiG-19s from 15,000 all the way up to 45,000 feet and mach 1.5, almost got my a$$ blown off, too! I was feeling more like an NF-104 rather than a normal old starfighter. At least I got home in one piece, with fuel to spare. Phew!

The MiG-23s are fun to spar with, especially in Tomcats or Phantoms. You can get some nice ones at C5's site, but they're not patched to october '08. I'm working on that, though. I do like having worthy opponents, because it makes victory that much sweeter and defeat that much more bearable.

HERE or HERE You old-timers won't know anything about this, and you young punks (me included) probably only know about the supernatural combat smash-up that was Dragonball-Z (it DID have a MiG-29 getting torn apart in the opening sequence, after all). But the original Dragonball show was rather more... entertaining. To me, at least. Anyway, I was hoping to see the new movie cast with a bunch of awesome celebreties as the bosses that guarded the 6 other dragon balls, like in the animé, but they obviously didn't do that. So here's my idea. Make a better version of this sure-to-be stinker movie, with Mr.T, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Meat Loaf, Lemmy Von Motorhead and Ronnie James Dio as the bosses. Would that not be the most awesome cast possible? If not, please inform me.

damm, those are nice! VERY nice!

what video card/drivers are you using, and do you have the latest directX? Other than checking that, you might want to try lowereing some graphics settings so that the game doesn't demand as much from your hardware. WHat game is it exactly, and is your new computer running Vista?

heheheh... buddy taking... you have to be pretty sure of the Hornet's masculinity to post a picture of that. You know what Tomcatters think about those Hornets topping each other off! Maybe I should try my hand at this mid-air refueling stuff...

I think the CAF CF-18 pilots are more than excited about this... Heck, I would be too. Sure beats flying patrols over weapon ranges. Now it's making me want a CF-105 for SF so I can pull off some more interesting intercepts over the Great White North...

that picture alone made me suddenly want the Tornado F.3... and that skin.

but Chuck Norris took up martial arts! or did the martial arts just seccumb to Chuck Norris?

Apparently they're trying to increase their presence over the north pole area, because of potential oil and the potential NorthWest Passage. I don't see what the big deal is. What are they gonna do, reconaissance us into submission with their bears?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7915517.stm "Canadian air force jets intercepted a Russian bomber approaching Canadian air space the day before President Barack Obama visited Ottawa, officials say. Two fighter jets met the long-range Bear bomber over the Arctic last week, Defence Minister Peter MacKay said. The Russian plane turned around after being signalled by the Canadian pilots, he said. There has been an increasing number of similar Russian flights in the Arctic in recent years, Mr MacKay said. The Canadian jets "met a Russian aircraft that was approaching Canadian airspace. They sent very clear signals that the Russian aircraft was to turn around - turn tail - to its own airspace, which it did," Mr MacKay told reporters after meeting North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) officers in Ottawa." My friend called me, and he was all upset because he though that it was a nuclear attack on Canada... I told him that it was just a bear, noting to really worry about. I'd really like to know how quickly the CF-18s picked it off, though.

I played rugby last year, but ater plying football so much, I didn't really enjoy it that much. There was also the fact that there were only 14 people on our team, and we were playing 15 to a side. I wish there was a house rugby or football leauge in my town, but there isn't, only the real competative stuff. boy, do I miss knocking Offensive-linemen on their butts (I was right D-end... OORAH!) and then leveling those pansy QBs...

OH NO! HE'S SAID IT! THEY'RE COMING! AMBANDON THREAD! ABANDON THREAD! EJECT!

Happy birthdays Viggie and Suicidal! All the best!

Whatabout Canada's indigenous Century-series intercepter, the Avro CF-105 Arrow? There's a huge cult following for this sucker, us Canadians really think we had a winner here. Fly-by-wire and Mach 2+ in 1959, you know.

Perhaps a Tallboy would be required....

Oh, come on. Where's the fun in that? Would you rater drop a handfull of high explosive grapefruits at your target or 2000 pounds of Uncle Sam's finest in a slick case, destined to blow the target, the target's revetement and anything else in the immediate area into the next dimension with an explosion that would put the Death Star to shame? Like most problems in life, this one can be solved with brute force. Remember, if it doesn't work, you're just not using enough.

Just what exactly is Error code 7217? I'm guessing that it can be resolved my a fresh install or the latest driver.

From now on, If I'm ever feeling down, I can always look at myself and say "Well, at least I don't have a mullet." No offence SW. In fact, from now on, I'm lowering my standards. As long as I don't get shot at and don't have a near-death experience, It's a good day. Now I just hope that these gang conflicts here get worked out.

Whoops, sorry guys. I didn't mean to start a useless thread that causes conflict, I just needed to blow off some steam. I suppose I didn't anticipate the possible outcomes of this thread, next time I'll just call a friend. And it is very true that company does not like misery. Perhaps this thread is better off closed.

... or had tactfully taken somebody else's jacket.

wuh-oh, I see a combatace beauty pageant looming on the horizon...

now that you mention it, by all means no. I find this place a nice break from the strict regieme of living in a "politically correct" society. I guess I've been spending too much time around disturbed youth who seem all too happy to take most inuendos too far.

Today sucked. School was a write-off, so I came home thinking things couldn't get worse. Silly me. I had to chip the ice off the driveway (3 INCHES in some places!), and then we had to generally clean up becuse a realtor was coming through to look (we're trying to sell, but the market is kaput). I finally got on the computer, looking forward to taking my anger out on a few communist tanks, and I loaded my OV-10A for bear. En route, my flight of 2 Broncos was bounced by 6 MiGs (2 -17s and 4 -21s). Big deal, I thought. I'll just out-slow and out-turn them and knock them down with my M-60s. Unfortunately, all 6 had compiled on my wingie's tail, and as soon as I looked that direction, even from about 2 miles off, the screen froze and went black. I was presented and error report telling me that "SFP1 has encountered problems and needs to close". F*CK YOU TOO. I am now going to do homework. This is not a "what is wrong with my system/game" thread (I know what's wrong. Everything.), it is a "Misery Loves Company" thread. Did the stars align this poorly for anybody else today?

That's a good one!
