Rambler 1-1

PETA=People Eating Tasty Animals don't worry about it russkie raider, I'm sure one of the F-15s went and bashed a wing into the UFO and took it out.

must.... have.... Su-33 or Su-27K..... (*falls over*)

I think it was a combination of awesome stability, the lifting body and the wumbo engines. To quote whoever said it first, "if you give a brick big enough engines, It'll fly, survive an inflight collision and land safely above the top speed of a cessna." This loser on youtube ("Texasfathead" was his screen name) thought this F-15's wing had come off because it was going too fast, and then challanged my flight lead that an F-15 would fall apart if it passed 700mph.

man, the other day i was talking to my flight lead about the worst way to die, and that's definetly in the top ten, possibly 5. S!

you do know that microsoft sells an Xbox 360 Cooling pack, right? it's this little thing you stick on to the back. It's got three ducted fans that keep the system cool. $30 at the toys-r-us here, though.

oh dang, what a bummer. I can't do that because I don't have WoV. Unless you'de be kind enough to donate a copy and a comp good enough to run it on.... We were all just waiting for a spammy thread. :yes:

curse my own incompetence. I should have seen that one coming.

oh crud... when I signed on to MSN to check my emails (nothing but junk- I should have known), I was assulted with a volley of messages asking if I heard about the crazy homicidal lunatic 16-year-old who tried to crash a 747 into a Hannah Montana concert, and only pulled up when an F-16 fired a sidewinder. I laughed for twenty minutes straight. Oh, how the news gets distorted....

I actually think I understand. I donno if I want it changed, 'cause it sure made for some cool screenshots!

AHAHA! and his avatar is a pun! Viggen, you can just take off becuase tomorrow is saturday.

okay. Just checking...

funny... My dad told me this story about how his friend, a vietnam vet, had been carrying a box of old fatigues and khakis up from the basement. He slipped and fell, the box went down the stairs with him and broke open, and then he found himself laying at the bottom of the stairs with a two pound lump of C-4 on his chest. It had been in the box along with some detinator caps under the uniforms. Luckily it didn't blow. bonka bonka bonka bonka bonka bonka BOOOM!

waitaminit... if USAFMTL is the 230th member... what happened to the 229 before him? who was first? does this count as history research?

does it say that somewhere in the forum rules? it should.

naw, i had flight settings to "normal" and everything else was "hard". It had a real tendency to roll left. Also, as soon as I tried to put it on autopilot it spun out of controll straight down. Sparky, To add the anti-shipping mission all I had to do was go into the .ini in the 'sader and adjust the avaliable mission types, but this was in SFP1. I donno about WoE.

That's one of the things I am going to do before I die. Make a pilgramage to aeronautical hollowed ground and have lunch at the Valkyrie cafe. The only air museum I've been to is the one in fort langley, 4 hours from where i am. All it had was unrestored CF-100, CF-104, T-33 and Lysander displays. oh, what I'd give to see the 'Valk or SR-71 up close...

I always figured that the SF/WoV/WoE series was all about close-up, in-your-face 60's style close combat action, not long range demolition. Everything is more fun with bombs!

well, the kill with the 'winder didn't suprise me that much, but the accuracy did. The unguided 'winder was more accurate than my rocket pods on the next mission. Oh, and yes, I did go into the .ini and make anti-ship missions possible, and I added my personalised pilot.

look at this. I was going anti-ship with the new crusader, and I took a hit from a MiG-21 that blew my wings and most of my weapons off. All I had left was one AIM-9B and some guns. I took out the other MiGs with guns (and no wings), and then I took carfull aim and let the 'winder loose on the cargo ship. Lo and behold, it hit at the base of the bridge and the ship blew up! AHAHAHAHA!!!! this is to reply to a couple of things, the ongoing 'winder-B ability issue and the new 'sader. Methinks there's a problem in a damage file or something, 'cause my wings got blown clean off and I still kicked butt. And if you can't hit anything with your AIM-9Bs, try practicing on ships.

stupid Canadian broadcasters... they take the good commercials out of American programs and replace them with stupid food, skin lotion and diet plan commercials. Jeez...

the eight-year-old girl next door was picking off skateboarders

bah. I'll be serious later. Besides, what good is invisibility if the plane is come and gone before the eye can track it, let alone train a gun on it, lead it and fire. Speed and radar stealth is the way to go. Or at least that's what I think. Hey, I was just serious!

I only use 'winders to take out strike planes that don't turn, or If I've run out of guns. My rule is that If you can get them with two rounds of guns, you can get them with a 'winder-B.

I JUST REALISED THAT. unfortunately, it would require a whole new model, with thise swept-foreward wings.

gee, that kinda sounds like a promo to me. Not that the new 'sader needs one...
