I so wish for some of those to hand out to some of the people I work with...

As my old Parachute instructor once said if your Chute's fail... when you hit the ground hold on as its the bounce that kills you... he was twisted that way... And A-10's dont glide too well as they have a few ton's to deal with the tanks... Would be nice to be able to shut individual engines down there's many a time I have had a silk let down in the SF series because I cant stop a motor...

Yeah I loved watching Mission Impossible on TV when I was a kid... And as for Airplane who can't enjoy that made me laugh out loud the first time and still does... RIP for doing a wonderful job of entertaining us... Operator: [Captain Oveur is on the phone with the Mayo Clinic] Excuse me, Captain Oveur, but I have an emergency call on line 5 from a Mr. Hamm. Captain Oveur: Alright, give me a Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

I watched both these movies tonight for the first time... It seems that whenever the chance to watch them has been around I have been unable to do so... They are both very very good movies in my opinion and outclass Saving Private Ryan as they look at the whole and not just the one... And I cannot find fault with either of them they where both expertly made... And the way they are means that nether of them is poorer for watching the other if that makes sense... Also they where both well acted with the actor's allowed to act instead of letting the CGI get in the way as it sometimes does with war films... Was a pleasure to spend 5 and a half hours watching them...

What he said above as the C-17 doesn't match the lifting and range ability of the C-5... So when does Boeing release a stretched version of the C-17 with more power to lift more...??? To be honest surprised they havn't done so already

Very true Von Paulus and I am like you I prefer Letters from Iwo Jima... but my Favourite war film's are the one's release up until around the 80's e.g. Dambusters to Das Boot...

Okay thats so bad... it must good...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8566860.stm A traffic jam caused by bikers in Wootton Bassett England in support of the British Troops in Afgahistand and Iraq... Over here in little old Blighty we may be beset by idiots in power and people protesting and calling our Soldiers baby killers etc... Done as charity event and said to have raised £75000 for Aghan Hero's... :good: :good:

Okay as my previous bike was killed in France... I am now in a quandry between purchasing one of these 2 bikes... My First Choice is the Aprilia Falco or a Futura (If I can find one Hen's Teeth in the UK these are better known as)... My 2nd Choice is the Kawasaki ZX-9R Before anyone says anything about the new bikes dont as I dont like most of them and to be honest funds will only stretch to one or the other of the above in the UK... Okay I have researched the bikes backwards and forwards and I will be making my decison next weekend when I go SHOPPING!!! (The last is that its only Bloke shopping when Serious machinery alcohol is involved)... Anyway anyone got any advice on the above 2 bikes ??? P.S. I know what to look for in a bad bike so just wants some honest advice... Thanks in advance...

Well here she is my mates just sent me a couple of pictures... Aint she pretty...

I will admit Olham that I run mine on those settings and I have the same video card as you... and its a pure visual treat... Sometimes its just pleasant to take a plane up and just stooge about...

From what little I can understand and I maybe (Most likely) wrong it seems as though in certain flight regime's the F-5 beats the Mig-21bis. The Soviets admitting to it...

Yes you can you will need to download one obviously but the flight engine's for helo's aren't that great in my opinion... As I have only tried a few out and that was a few years ago...

Good point there as well Von Paulus and to you Olham sometimes because its old doesnt mean it needs a fix and you are right... so no there is nothing wrong with thinking like that... Heck I have finally moved to fuel injection on my new motorbike... :yikes:

You know there are some twisted people out there... who need a decent 9mm enema... Thankfully most of the people on this site are sick and twisted just my kind of deviant and I mean that in the best possible way ever as you are all wonderful people... It's my be nice to people day today...

DW so when are you doing the TV Commercials as they made me laugh...

Nice Hawk there...

In your case Widow old chap tis fairly easy just get OBD to threaten to never make you a Snipe for OFF...

yeah yeah dont get so jealous you turn Kwacker green... Well thats it done I am now the proud owner of an Aprilia Falco 2001 edition... Happy is not the right word took it for a run today before the it gets it's service next week (paid for by the owner and new tyres) and I get to pick it up next Friday... Power delivery is something else... myy ZZR's where all devilishly quick but this thing is pretty damn spectacular... I will post pic's when I take some well thats if I remember to get off the bike so they may all be at Petrol Stations...

I bet you dream in Snipes Widow old chap the way you go on about them...

Okay here's my next Pilot... Ooorah... Yup Marines 2nd Lt Jon "Kipper" Murphy VMA-542 Tigers Buldern Highway Strip First Sortie to kill a fuel tank. 4 Ship loadout mixed bomb's and clusters guns and a pair of winder's Take of from the road was interesting and soon we checked in with Sentry 11 and headed to target with not a lot going on near us heard some fighting further south but near us nothing went into bomb and blew the living be jesus out of a Scud launcher park and headed home when we got a vectored to intercept a 4 ship of Su-22's and they didn't last long I can tell you... and thne it was dodging some Mig-21's and home...

Good luck Stump and best wishes...

Doesnt matter if its fake it still amusing...

Good call on the Kwack but over here I am a stone's throw literally from the main Aprilia Dealership in Northern England... and I have a good rep going with them... As to the Kwack I know but I have had Kwack's most of my life apart from a daliance with a beautiful yellow 748 back in the late 90's and I can get my Kwack parts whenever but there is something calling me to the Aprilia I think this is a heart buy and not a head buy for a change... Also round here the Falco's are a fairly rare breed and I love the look of it... And I spoke to the guy who I might be buying the Aprilia off today and he went from top to tail on the bike and then sent me about 20 pictures on email of every mark on the bike... as I have found that the ZX9 I was to look at has been in a smash and the dealer cant tell me what or how badly it was smashed so I am staying away from that one...
