warthog64

I didn't realize there were more pages to the story, I assumed it was Underhill's missile but thanks for letting me know that there were more pages to clear that up. Very interesting story. Thanks Mig Buster

But yes you are right ezlead, this is very close. The Mig was obviously milliseconds from destruction when this was taken.

Oh I see now, I guess I missed that, thanks. I thought it was a view from an F-15 of a missile about to strike an enemy aircraft. But I see now that this photo shows Rodriguez's F-15 in a defensive maneuver, while the Aim-7 is the one fired by Craig Underhill. This is off topic, but one other USAF fighter pilot since the Vietnam War also scored three aerial victories. Capt. Wilbur Wright shot down three Serb J-21 over Bosnia in 1994, however Col. Rodriguez was the last pilot with three aerial vicrtories to remain in USAF service until 2 years ago. If anyone has seen dogfights on the History channel it shows all three of Col. Rodriguez's aerial kills in two episodes, I'd reccomend it to anyone who hasn't seen it.

That's too bad that such a rare and incredible warbird has been lost. I guess that leaves 12 flyable B-17s left. I'm glad the crew is fine though, that would have made it 100 times worse

The silhouette of the aircraft in the picture looks like a Mig-23 to me. I know Col. Rodriguez shot down both a Mig-23 and Mig-29 in Desert Storm, but his Fulcrum kill was achieved through maneuvering. Either way great article Mig Buster, Thanks

I believe the AIM-7 is both a hit-to-kill weapon, and proximity fused. I think it all has to do with what the circumstance are when the missile finds its target. I could be wrong though.

That's terrible, I'm sorry to hear that. This sounds like the same sort of thing I myself have come across on Craigslist, and other online Job sites. I don't even bother with these on line sources now, as most are "BS" Good luck with your job search, I myself am having problems as well right now to find a legit and good job. I currently have a temporary job with bad pay, So I'm also desperate to find something much better.

No Problem

I think this is it I remember seeing this video several years ago Hope this helps

I don't think there is, but I'd enjoy a mod like that as well.

Thanks Stary, the cockpits look awesome by the way

I'm having the same problem as ndicki. I tried using 7zip and Winzip but no luck either

I recently had to reinstall WOE from a backup I had. It wasn't up to date with my current install that I lost. One thing I lost and can't seem to find that I liked is the GBU-12 and GBU-10 models that are named GBU-12E grey and all over grey etc. Just wondering if anyone knows what package they're a part of. I appreciate any help, Thanks

Found it, Sorry! Thanks though

Is there a way to change the name of a certain type of mission in any SF1/2 series game? For example is there a way to change Iron Hand or Flak Suppresion to Air Defense Supression in the single misssion menu? Looked around the forum but couldn't find anything exactly like I needed. Thanks for any help

Thanks

I second that, Happy Birthday to a great nation and ally!

Follow the instructions on this page to make the SF2 B-1B compatable with SF1. It will work, I've successfully done it. http://combatace.com...thirdwire-sims/ Also use this tool available here, it makes it a lot easier http://combatace.com/files/file/11290-unicode-ansi-file-batch-converter/

Try this...."www.f-16.net" I believe they have what you're looking for

May 5th will be 50 years since the late astronaut Alan Shepard flew the first American manned flight into space. I can't believe its been that long. I hope that even though things don't look too well right now for the immediate future of NASA's manned space flight program, we will soon be soaring into space again. Still it's incredible that 50 years ago on May 5th we began this "trend" that continues today.
