It seems my association with missles goes back 'aways

awww... how cute! -
I saw Saint Elmo's fire on planes a couple of times, and once me and my dad were flying curcits during twilight and we saw a something come in really fast and really low with no lights on. It zoomed past us at 9 O'clock low, climbed over a hill and dissapeared. We asked the tower what it was and they said that we were the only airborne aircraft within 30 miles of the airport. (*play music from twilight zone*)

WHEREDITGO?!?!
Rambler 1-1 replied to Rambler 1-1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
sorry for the double post, I took too long editing my last one. The B-52 for SF isn't really what I'm looking for, no offence to it's creators, so it seems I'll have to ask for WOV and wait 'till christmas, unless somebody will send me the For now I'll find a worthy alternative. Thanks for the help, guys! Yes it's frowned upon.....big time....you should know better than to even ask.... -

Getting closer.... It makes me wish I had WOV. It looks like I'll have to go with the SFP1 B-52 in the downloads section and just modify that into the big belly. -

ok, now I think I see what happened. allthough it was kinda cool to watch those MiGs overshoot every time. so what do I need to make this work? I'm still kinda in the dark here... -
well this sucks. I was looking foreward to blowing the bajeebers out of some airfields with the B-52D from the downloads section, but when I tried to start mission, this happened. so I started in the air and the same thing happened. I was in suspended animation. The throttles in the cockpit would move when I throttled up and down, but there was no reading. The plane just sat in the air, invisible and useless. look! anybody have any idea what's going on? I followed the install instructions word for word, but it happens every time. I knew I should have stuck to my fighters........

they're really going on a "No nuts" crusade up here. In a few years, mustard gas will have nothing on almonds, and peanuts will be outlawed by the Geneva Council. And now you can't get decent chocolate in Hawaii? what's the world coming to?!? I think they just don't send chocolate to HI because it'll melt in the heat, and they won't bother to refridgerate it.

didn't he just settle a lawsuit with some rapper a couple of days ago? Maybe he knew..... RIP, evil

Thai air force probes mushroom pick-up mission
Rambler 1-1 replied to Nesher's topic in Military and General Aviation
the Air Force up here used to let pilots take the CF-18s out cross-country if they were flying back to their home town or something, then there was a couple of goofs who flew in echelon formation with a landing 737. I can't remember what happened, I think the pilot freaked to ATC, and ever since then the military hasn't let the pilots use the '18s for personal flights. Awwww maaaannnnn..... -
Sure! what do your snowpants look like?
-
we got our first snowfall of the year up here, so I figured it's as good a time as any to see if boarding really is more popular than skiing. I do both.

I wonder if he's going after those arctic oil reserves too....

ok, how long untill somebody makes a pilot skin for that one?

Yahooo!!! New Desktop backgrounds! Good to see another one home.

I never said the '20 landed in the wrong place because of the plane, I was just supporting my statement about airbuses being accident prone. Bad juju, maaaannn. Also, I don't know if the 'bus really does have brake override, but what else could have caused that crash? Twitchy feet? The whole throttle response thing is I suppose compared to the Cessnas I fly, and yes, I know. No comparison at all. I shouldn't have used the word "horrible", because the response was good enough to keep them out of the drink. "slide rule and duct tape" That's what the '27 seems like....

Sea Harrier Skins
Rambler 1-1 replied to crisisloaner's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - General Discussion
Let's see here.... (*consults 5-inch thick illustrated book of moderen military aircraft*) It says here that in th Gulf wars, the USMC used the Mc Donnell Douglas/BAe AV-8B Harrier II, which was primarily a single seater, but they did make a couple 2-seaters for training. Later on, they went through a program to replace the 8Bs with AV-8B Harrier II Plus models, and they do have some two seaters because Italy bought 2-seat trainers before the single seaters. i donno how many, though. Also, the 2-seaters are combat capable. also, the Harrier II plus is used by spain and Italy as an air defence aircraft. So there. -
I dunno... I haven't seen a '47 with a crew that seemed to have forgotten about the feature that overrides breaks at full throttle lately. It seems that Airbus' downfall is their extensive automation. I've been weary of airbuses and their crews since one destined for the airport at my city accidentially made an approach to a much smaller airport about 30 miles north and allmost bought the farm. They had to firewall it, and that horrible throttle response came into effect. Luckily, it had a light load, so we didn't have to go fishing for A320.
-
obviously, that was a suicidal wall that rammed the plane. Probably Al Queda. is it just me, or are Airbuses allways crashing, or being crashed? they seem REALLY accident prone.

Happy birthday, SF! I bought it for $20 from our local Superstore, back in the year it came out, I think. Up untill about a year and a half ago, I just blew s**t up with everything on "easy", and with no downloads or patches or anything, because my comp wouldn't handle it. Then I discovered guns, video cards and downloads, and now here I am! It's so good, I deleted FS04 to make room for more downloads! :yes:
