Ignorant meens not knowing of something,lack of knowledge, education, or awareness , I dont think that applies here,

has it been released yet?

The A7 had what some would call "minor issues" with the engines they were fitted with. If he were here today, I think Dennis would classify those issues as more than minor. On March 22, it will be thirty seven years since Lt. Dennis Pike ejected into the early morning sky over Laos, confident in the fact that he WOULD NOT BE LEFT BEHIND. The "Golden Dragons" VA-192, were tasked with a mission in "OSCAR-8" which encompassed a major hiway junction and supply/transportation area of the NVA 559th division on the Ho-Chi Mihn trail which was heavily fortified with AAA, not only on the hillsides, but in platforms in the trees as well. Apparently they were called away from the primary target to assist friendly forces that were being overrun when his A7 SLUFF took a crap on him at a most inappropriate time. "We were on a mission just south of the DMZ," remembers Taylor, (his wingman) Government forces were being overrun by the Viet Cong, and a T-28 with an American pilot and Vietnamese observer also went down. We were on target about forty minutes and finally had to leave. I watched Pike disappear on the way out, and that scene, those ten or fifteen seconds, are embedded in my mind, lived over and over. I was about a mile-and-a-half behind him, saw the smoke come out of his tailpipe and called him up asking if there were any problems. He replied, 'Yeah, I've got some oil pressure problems.' We were only about twenty miles inside of Laos, and I told him to take a heading toward Da Nang. He rolled out and made the turn from southwest all the way around to the east at five thousand feet. I told him, 'If you pass three thousand feet and don't have anything left, then [get] out.' He replied, 'Roger that,' followed by an 'Uh oh, there goes the engine. Well, see you guys later.'" Pike indicated that he had to eject. ****GWAR CLIMBS UP ON HIS SOAP BOX AND RAGES AGAINST THE MACHINE**** As I said earlier, it seems Lt. Pike was confident that he would, in fact, see his buddies later on, and I am sure SAR and the jolley green giants did their best to find him, but its been 37 freakin years,YOU BEAUROCHRATIC PUKES!! DO SOMETHING!! testimony has been given by a defected polish general that hundreds were still being held captive to this day. That very testimony was swept under the rug by a man that luckily didnt become our commander in chief. YEAH, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY ****GWAR CLIMBS BACK DOWN**** (Sorry,guys, I had to get that off my chest) This is not in any way a political thing, ITS A MORAL THING, so please dont take it there or Ill have Dave kill this quicker than poop thru a goose. To get to the point, lol, Im wondering if anyone would like to assist me in making a mission with the parameters involved below. 152200N 1073400E (YC755030) are the coordinates ok, obviously they departed from yankee station, they were 20 miles inside of Laos, just south of the DMZ, he rolled out from SW to E heading for Da Nang and was last seen at the above coordinates.Seems easy enough, right? The maps below are from govt records.

Id like to once again thank comrpnt, and point out how freakin cool he is. oh yeah, lol BUMP Please, everyone download this and fly one for Dennis, thanx *EDIT* note the time of the first post and the time on this post (if this edit doesnt change it) FREAKY, huh?

America! F**k yeah! I love the part when he says, " I aint got a f***ing tone!" (man, I love adrenaline)

OK, anyone with a unmodded WoV, latest patch OR the one before that, drag yer sorry butt to hyperlobby and get yer tail waxed !!! THIS OFFER EXPIRES SOON !! ***EDIT*** Thx to SAYWHAT! for showin up, nice talkin in real time with one of the regulars here. maybe we can work out the connection issues next time. I got a lot of virtual ammo piling up here and nobody to shoot at !!

OMG, I just witnessed the Dave quoting Cameo, now Ive seen it all! phsycofunkapop!

yikes,, 49 souls lost,,,

strange he should post thi, my main computer is down, as it began to randomly shut down on me. I happened to glance at the mobo and the main plug on the atx power supply , four of the wires in the plug itself had begun to cook. not sure if its a bad power supply or its a mobo problem yet, as I havent torn into it yet , its a gigabyte k7 triton

Its mid-summer, 1969, and Im 9 years old at Alameda naval air station infirmary with a broken finger, which, to me at the time was a big deal, until I happened to pass by a room with the door ajar,and I got my first glimpse of "the thousand yard stare". I ran back to my mother and told her that we have to leave. She asks why, and I explained to her that I didnt deserve to be there with just a broken finger when the man in that room has no arms or legs anymore. I will NEVER forget the mans face, he was, empty. I know where you are comin from, in a way.

I presume you are referring to hackers and not about UAV "pilots"?

Ive been wearing his POW bracelet since late 1972

WW II Russian tank with German markings uncovered after 62 years.�WW II Buffs will� �find this interesting.�Even after 62 years (and a little tinkering), they were able to� �fire up the diesel engine!� �A Komatsu D375A-2 bulldozer pulled the abandoned tank from its tomb under the� �boggy bank of a lake near Johvi , Estonia . The Soviet-built T34/76A tank had been resting� �at the bottom of the lake for 56 years. According to its specifications, it's a 27-ton� �machine with a top speed of 53 km/hr. � �From February to September 1944, heavy battles were fought in the narrow,� �50 km-wide, Narva front in the northeastern part of Estonia . Over 100,000 men� �were killed and 300,000 men were wounded there. During battles in the summer of� �1944,�the tank was captured from the Soviet army and used by the German army.� �(This is the reason that there are German markings painted on the tank's exterior.)� On 19th September, 1944, German troops began an organized retreat along the Narva� �front. It is suspected that the tank was then purposefully driven into the lake to conceal �it when its captors left the area. � �At that time, a local boy walking by the lake, Kurtna Matasjarv, noticed tank tracks� �leading into the lake but not coming out anywhere. For two months he saw air bubbles� �emerging from the lake. This gave him reason to believe that there must be an armored� �vehicle at the lake's bottom. A few years ago, he told the story to the leader of the local� �war history club 'Otsing'. Together with other club members, Mr. Igor Shedunov initiated� �diving expeditions to the bottom of the lake about a year ago. At the depth of 7 metres� �they discovered the tank resting under a 3 metre layer of peat. � �Enthusiasts from the club, under Mr Shedunov's leadership, decided to pull the tank out.� �In September of 2000 they turned to Mr. Aleksander Borovkovthe, manager of the Narva� �open pit company AS Eesti Polevkivi, to rent the company's Komatsu D375A-2 bulldozer.� �(Currently used at the pit, the Komatsu dozer was manufactured in 1995, and has �recorded 19,000 operating hours without major repairs.) � �The pulling operation began at 09:00 and was concluded at 15:00, with several� �technical breaks. The weight of the tank, combined with the travel incline, made for a� �pulling operation that required significant muscle. The D375A-2 handled the operation� �with power and style. The weight of the fully-armed tank was around 30 tons, so� �the active force required to retrieve it was similar. A main requirement for the 68-ton� �dozer was to have enough weight to prevent slippage while moving up the hill. � �After the tank surfaced, it turned out to be a 'trophy tank' that had been captured by� �the German army in the course of the battle at Sinimaed (Blue Hills) about six weeks� �before it was sunk in the lake. Altogether, 116 shells were found on board. Remarkably,� �the tank was in good condition, with NO RUST, and alll systems (except the engine) in� �working condition. This is a very rare machine, especially considering that it fought� �both on the Russian and the German sides. Plans are underway to fully restore the� �tank. It will be displayed at a war history museum in the Gorodenko village on the� �left bank of the River Narv. sorry for the other goofy stuph in the text,

rip= riptide or undertow

Good job! Glad everyone made it to shore ok. All too often you here of the rescuer drowning after saving someone else. I hate to throw around the "H" word, as there are way too many people that do what needs to be done without thinking of personal safety, and in my opinion, thats how you define the word, well, ok, ill say it, hero. I was once in a situation where a police officer was wrestling some dude on the ground who was tryin to take his sidearm. I just stood there until the officer made eye contact with me. He didnt say a word, but his eyes screamed"I NEED HELP" This old hippy never moved faster in his life, lol, and it was probly quite a site to see us rolling around that parking lot. It wasnt till about 15 minutes later that I thought about it and my knees damn near turned to jelly. Only thing is, the cop never even said thanks, maybe he was caught up in it all, i dunno,, either way, I felt good inside about it, and thats what counts. Once again, good job!

oh yeah, im sure they will post them
