  1. Small point, from 74 - 78 there was no ACC, it was TAC. Similar, but slightly different patch.
  2. 1st try p1oppy? One heckuva debut in aluminum! `Course, I'll be punching holes in it, but it will look great going down!
  3. A semi-modern Israeli/Arab campaign? Hoo-yeah, bring it on buddy!
  4. top 10 things about being in the airforce

    That was pretty flippin' cool!
  5. I don't know if that has been cracked yet, been hoping for one since the dawn of Thirdwire. I imagine that there has to be multiple views, for a lack the proper name, in the 3D animation. Something with this seems seriously borked, as it has been a LONG time without. Bottom line, I dunno. Aren't you glad I stopped by?
  6. As does the F-16I, for that matter.
  7. So, you like the era that WoE and WoV are modeled around? Neal Boortz has a short video of what was called the Flight Congress here; http://boortz.com/more/video/nellis_afb_1959.html And they actually show missile, rocket and napalm releases!
  8. I doubt it. I hear the only live fire shows still going on are in Switzerland, of all places. They usually do that chumpy Hollywood deal with a gadzillion gallons of gas, and touch it off when some aircraft makes a low pass. Big whoop. Do you know they cancelled the Fairchild AFB airshow 2 weekends ago, with no notice? I checked the local paper on Thursday, showed up with the whole fam-damily on Saturday morn', and they said, "sorry, the paper made a mistake. It is postponed until next year." Postponed? Sounds like cancelled! And on the 60th Anniversary of the USAF? I am deeply appalled. I wanted to see the Raptor in real life, and the OV-22 was to make an appearance. Badly miffed, I am.
  9. Zoinks! This looks mighty fine! I hope there is a (fictitious) USAF version.
  10. I am used to the odd drib and drab of new, cool stuff hereabouts, but a whole flappin' page? You've been busy!
  11. Yeah, I figured that, got most of it already. Looked like a consolidation to me, and as previously stated, a whole lot of work. Good on ya.
  12. That is gonna be one tough one to master! But fun to try to.
  13. Are they the same ones that are in the NATO fighters campaign? If so, yeah, they work! Too well, as there is a site or two by the border that have been "captured" or some such, and unload on you, with good effect on the wingies.
  14. Ran into my first Foxhound interceptors while flying Falcons over Israel 2. They deked us with a pair of Yak-141's and then came BLOWIN' up our sixes! I had just popped a Yak, and was rolling in on the 2nd when I got a Radar alert and broke off, and down. Sent my wingie after the shipping targets, and loosed my mavericks quickly. Popped up to engage the `31's, but they were orbiting at about 1700 knots!!! Tossed a Sparrow, then my last sidewinder, after gettin a good tone. Never came close. Definitely puts a new perspective on dogfighting, incredibly cool!
  15. Ah ha! That's where they hid `em! I was looking for P-38, not a pack. I never got into the WW2 props for this sim, but may have to now. Thanks for th tip, BwF.
  16. Er, just to be a pain, where is a good place to find Wolf's P-38's? I just got the new Saitek yoke sent to me for review, and the Lightning would be a great system to test it out in. With your fine new skin, of course!
  17. Once 8 GB flash drives are cheap enough, I may have to try it! Yeah, I gotta have all the candy or it just ain't as cool. My 80 GB external 2.5" drive may fit the bill though...
  18. Museum of Flight

    A half dozen BlitzPigs got together there last summer. A very cool place for a virtual squadron to hook up! I had pics up, but our servers changed about 6 months ago and are no longer hosted.
  19. WOOT

    Long, dry spell. Glad it's alive. IT'S ALIVE!
  20. We have a new member!

    Revvin' speaks tomes of wisdom, she's a real pistol...
  21. That is looking mighty fine so far. Keep up the good Voodoo that you do...
  22. Hoo-yeah! This looks GREAT! I've only ever been to one of these bases IRL, Alhorn, which was a FOL for the 81st TFW out of RAF Bentwaters/Woodbridge. It will be cool to see it in game. I hope the other 3 FOL's get your attention in future work. Sembach, Leipheim, and Norvenich. ___EDIT___ Swapped out Alhorn and Norvenich, as I realized which one you had done. I interchange them, as they were both Woodbridges WAFOLS, not Bentwaters, which is where I was stationed.
  23. Hi-yo! I have recently heard in a thread something about a Timor terrain? I must've missed it, as it seems some time ago. Search lead to little, just references. There was this one cool old simulation featuring AV-8B Harriers called, IIRC, AV-8B Harriers. It was based on a carrier to start, off of East Timor. The first 1/3 was cool, but when you got past that, you got raped. I would love to relive that game, without the rapeage. Anyone know where that terrain/campaign can be had?
