Cool huh Muesli! Any bad azz skinners want to give it a shot? You skin it I'll fly it!

Muesli, thanks bud but I have already downloaded all of those skins! Icarus we are on the right track. Check out these pics. First is an N from VF-21. Then two Be-deviler S's off Forrestal. Then an S from VF-161. That 21 skin would be a good compliment to the VF-154 skin already available.

Hello guys, anyone interested in making some lo-viz F-4N and F-4S skins? I got some pics I would like to replicate. Some N's from VF-21 and S's from VF-74 and VF-161. Give me a shout if any one wants to help. I get wood when I see late model lo-viz F-4's!

Yes Dave I am kidding!

Pretty cool ride thanks guys! Hey, Spinners, we do need an Iranian skin (for the A model). Considering that the Iranians where the most successful users of this AC in air to air combat. Oh almost forgot, how do you operate the radar?

I will play with this after finals!

Could we just add a "countermeasure flare dispenser" like on Thirdwire jets, but adjust the angle to fire up to the right at a 45 degree angle? We would of course have to import the flare effects etc. also. Just a thought........

Airwolf was BEAST!

I got a Springfield with six digit serial number made May 1942. Will knock the nutz off a gnat at 500 yds.

I am qualified to disect it properly, and I did.

Guys, listen to some of the Phantom vs. MiG engagement audio tapes from Vietnam. You will here the same language and attitude. I guess it is a sort of detatchment. Crews be it tank, Bradley, Apache, or what ever spend countless hour training to do just what you see in the video. I have spent many a night as the Company Master Gunner with a crew in the gunnery simulator until the wee hours of the night training to get it right. Then no matter if it is 0300 when we get done still got to do PT with my PLT at 0600. Countless hours at gunnery ranges in Germany, Georgia, England, Egypt, Kansas, California, Hungary, Bosnia, Kuwait shooting live rounds day and night rain or shine just to be able to get it right when it has to be done for real. If people do not like what warriors say to each other while they are prosecuting war then don't be curious enough to listen. That cross talk between the pilot and gunner was no different than that of a tank crew in combat. The nature of their communication led me to believe that they were a tight, well trained crew. Listen how they back each other up during the external coms repeating commands and responses and asking each other questions. Funny how if it has wings it is glamorous and sexy. If it has rotors or tracks or has ARMY painted on it it is ugly and murderous. Oh well, I retired in AUG 09 so now I got to worry about my Algebra test in college next week! The GI Bill works even if it is 20 years old.

If you can understand what is being said on the radio ( I know you know Eric ) you can clearly see what is going on. A " Bongo Truck " is a KIA Bongo. It is at times used as slang for an Iraqi vehicle. Do not read the captions. They are intentionally screwed up. Listen to what they say. You have several ground elements. Bushmaster 2-6, Bushmaster 6, Bushmaster 7, etc. Crazyhorse 1-8 is the Apache. Bushmaster 7 (B Co. 1SG ) clears the Apache to shoot the van. By clearing he means no freindlies in kill zone. If the van had a Red Crescent on it and it got lit up then it would be illegal. But since these guys don't play fair how are we supposed to know? This is the kind of stuff that happens when you disband your army tell them to blend in with civilians and fight like cowards. The whole argument about the crawling guy is bogus too. You shoot until the target is destroyed. Dude crawling is not dude destroyed. I don't care what most of you guys say this was as legit as it gets. BTW we have journalist getting blown away by the bad guys all the time. Remember Kim Dozier, and that dude from ABC, to name a few. So If I was a "journalist" I would want to cover the guys that have Apaches and Bradleys, instead of the guys with Adidas track suits, suicide vests, and AK's. The "journalists" are obviously standing next to armed men. One is talking on the phone. How do you think the bad guys communicate? They use cell phones. The bad guys also frequently video and photograph their dirty work. How do guys think you get to watch those cool IED videos on Liveleak? The "journalists" where obviously dirty or they wouldn't be with the bad guys. Ernie Pyle was killed by a Japanese sniper on Okinawa, right? So........ combat jouralism is dangerous! Get over it!

Those journalist just picked the wrong side to cover as far as I am concerned. Don't go back and analyze the video. Sit in a lawn chair in a box in 110 degree heat for three hours. Try to determine what is going on by listening to radio call signs and grids while constantantly moving over terrain that all looks the same. All the while supporting a ground element that has been in contact for hours. Then watch the tape once. Then tell me if a telephoto lens looks like an RPG or SA-14. I have had to make that same decision but in a tank not an Apache. It is not that easy, but these guys did it right. Throw stones somewhere else guys not here. Sure the vid is disturbing but if I whined about all the disturbing things I have seen all the time I would be in an asylum. Be thankful that you do not have to make the same decisions those guys did. Also, be thankful that there are guys and gals that will make those decisions for you.

Some guy sitting in an airconditioned shelter in Nevada will get the kill. "Don't fear the REAPER... du du do du du"!

Good work Crazyhorse 18. I counted five AK's, this engagement was legit. It was cool to see the M-2's get some too. Good cross talk between the air and ground element.

Wow can't wait to AMRAAM it with my Super Bug. Flankers are getting old.......

Use the AV-8B pit. Closest I can find and does pretty good. Fun to zip around A-stan in the Ghibli.

Good luck, man!

Can any body point me in the right direction to find the Mirage Factory Clemenceau carrier.According to some previous posts it was available on Check Six in one of the TMF weapons packs. Downloaded everything I could over there could not find it. The file name should be "clem_65 IIC" according to previous posts. If some one can help me or already has this file and wouldn't mind sending it to me, please PM me. My thanks to you in advance.

Way to go Barry!

Twin Ion Engine= T I E

Guys, thanks awesome! Just whacked a couple of Alb.III's with it.

This thing is garbage.

My answer is YES. It doesn't take two years to train an Infantryman,Scout, or Tanker. Two years, go chuck some grenades in a foreign land then people will really start to appreciate what they have as citizens.
