Welcome back to the madhouse...

Well you did say it was fast...

Have a nice relax on the porch and enjoy watching the world spin at a slower pace...

R.I.P.

A man like this and one question my question would be can I ask you a lot more questions? Seriously though I would be more than happy to shake his hand and say thank you. But if it's a question to ask then it must be... Why did you want to do what you have done...? (I know it is a short question but a very long answer) but for a short question with a short answer:- Was the F-20 that good an airplane and why? Sorry about the 2 questions but for a man like this you can sometimes ask...

Because if that Building and site were not left there people would over time forget what happened there. Sometimes a building such as this needs to be left to remind the future generations of what is possible as George Santayana said Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it and this should never be repeated in any form.

I missed this first time round... thanks for pointing me in the correct direction.

My condolences on your loss may he rest in peace... my thoughts are with you...

Rest in peace Albert Joyner http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/11085775.Tributes_are_paid_to_Keighley_war_hero_Albert_Joyner_who_died_at_102/ Tributes have been paid following the death of a war veteran, who at 102, was Britain’s oldest surviving former Royal Marine. May he rest in peace with his old comrades in the barroom in the sky.

R.I.P. for some of the bravest crews willing to lay down their lives to save yours...

I play this I have both Airland and the first one European Escalation. Though I am still learning on both. I will get Red Dragon once it is out as a full game. At present I am busy with DayZ and WOT... Both Airland and European Escalation are very good games.

Glad that all is well and really happy that your okay Iwan... I understand on the PTSD front as I was out there in 95 and 1999/2000 and my life is moving forward though I have bad days and good days... but it seems that you are doing the best you can and you are being rewarded for it. I still need to make my trip there which I keep putting off due to what may happen to me and how it will affect me, though I need to do it and know this, your a braver man than me and I wish you the best of luck and hope all goes well now and in the future...

Mathematics: This comes from 2 maths teachers with a combined total of 70 yrs. Experience. It has an indisputable mathematical logic. This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint.. it goes like this: What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life? Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions: If: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Is represented as: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Then: H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98% And K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96% But, A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100% And, B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T 2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103% AND, look how far ass kissing will take you. A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G 1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118% So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty, that while Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitudewill get you there, its the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top. Now you know why some people are where they are!!!

Love this picture... Rip... Another childhood memory that needs to be re-watched amongst his other great and funny movies...

Good luck had problems with Landlords before... hope everything turns out well for you...

Being a biker no problems for me...

It does look interesting... I think the major question though is how much is it???

Lovely looking Snipe...

Looks good might get me back flying again...

Been having a think on this though it would require a couple of Aircraft building... ASW S-2T Trackers Turboprop Trackers also could mount the Radar like the E-1, 6 S-2T and 4 E-1 Tracer. I know that there are some in SF1. For Air Defence they could use a Lightened A-4M or even A-4N. But I like the idea of a re-furbed F-8 Crusader with an uprated radar and weapons maybe 1 Squadron or 2 Squadron's for Convoy protection duties for mixed duties say a squadron each of F-8's and A-7B's. Also I love the thought of using the F-20 beefed up for AD duties... But hey just me on the F-20.

...And Saint Attila raised the hand grenade up on high, saying, "O LORD, bless this Thy hand grenade that with it Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits, in Thy mercy." And the LORD did grin and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats and large chu... [At this point, the friar is urged by Brother Maynard to "skip a bit, brother"]... And the LORD spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it... Add more if you want...

I must admit this is one thing about the series that annoyed me was AI both Red and your own... actually especially your own as they are as stupid as a plank of wood x 2 and then beaten heavily with the stupid hammer. If there is one thing I would love overhauled it would be that...

Says it all... Snotty Beam me up...

What WhiteKnight states is correct about the allies no parachutes as they thought that the pilots would bail out at the first sign of trouble and they were only issued to the Balloon crews. As to the Central Powers there was some limited use towards the end. At the start it was due to the lack of power in the aircraft. link has a list of Aviators who parachuted out... mostly Germans... Though not a complete listing as quoted. http://www.ejection-history.org.uk/project/Parachutes/1914_18.htm
