Happy Birthday...

Must admit so am I... might have to give it a whirl so to speak...

I do just checked some reference files I have okay the Iranians had F-7N's which was a simplified version of the F-7M and had the 5 hardpoints of the F-7M. Iran bought 18 of them... Apologies for the info you need more let me know... Also found this if it will help... http://www.airliners.net/photo/Iran---Air/Chengdu-F-7N-Airguard/1946224/L/

Nicw looking bird there Wrench...

13th TFS Down for Primary CAP & SEAD Secondary Strike and CAS. That is all as to Basing happy where we are supporting the A-10's

TO: JFC SHAPE FROM: 13th Squadron 35th Fighter Wing INTERCEPTION OF 2 RF-4E. NO WEAPONS ONBOARD RF-4E'S GUIDED THEM TO THE BORDER AND MAINTAINED DISTANCE. OUT.

Investigating a contact in horrible weather... 2 x RF-4E sent them home no shots fired...

TO: JFC SHAPE FROM: 13th Squadron 35th Fighter Wing NOW ON SITE AT AL BAKR AB WITH 12 F-16CJ BLK 50, CONFIGURED FOR CAP SEAD STRIKE AND CAS. ENOUGH MUNITIONS FOR UP TO 7 DAYS INTENSE AIR OPERATIONS OR 14 DAYS FOR MEDIUM AIR OPERATIONS AND 21 DAYS LIGHT AIR OPERATIONS.

Good point also getting the tanker assets from Japan to the Theatre would also delay... and someone did say they needed a some SEAD Assets... might as well go with the WW codes...

Okay back from the hospital anyone got a new knee they can give me? I will now be available again with the 13th of the 35th WW out of Misawa to provide SEAD etc... With 12 Block 50 F-16CJ's... If I am too late let me know.

Problem I have is that they now go for the Multiplayer aspect and that means they don't have to work on the physics of the AI too much... and I agree with Widowmaker on this same old same old but that seems to be the same across the entire entertainments business... I purchased Rage when it came out and it was all done in 12 hours when I remember games that took days weeks even to complete... and the AI is not to bad but all it does is send more and more at you to overwhelm you... hey ho nice graphics though...

Happy Birthday guys and have a great day...

--COLONEL: Successful crossing, well planned and carried out in accordance with my directives. --CHIEF: About time that thing worked; hope the Colonel's finally happy. --NCO: Changed two wings, a beak, and removed a bad egg, and the silly thing still can't fly! --2ND LT: Look at the pretty bird! --AIR EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND (AETC): The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing procedures. Road crossing should be performed only between the hours of sunset and sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least 3 miles of visibility and a safety observer. --AIR INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (AIA): Despite what you see on CNN, I can neither confirm nor deny any fowl performing acts of transit. Questions? Please see the SSO. --AIR FORCE RESERVE COMMAND (AFRC): If it didn't happen on a Saturday or Sunday then we missed it. --AIR FORCE FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY CENTER (AFFTC): This event will need confirmation; we need to repeat it using varied chicken breeds, road types, and weather conditions to confirm whether it can actually happen within the parameters specified for chickens and the remote possibility that they might cross thruways designated by some as 'roads.' --AIR COMBAT COMMAND (ACC): The chicken should log this as a GCC sortie only if road-crossing qualified. The crossing updates the chicken's 60-day road-crossing currency only if performed on a Monday or Thursday or during a full moon. Instructor chickens may update currency any time they observe another chicken cross the road. --PACIFIC AIR FORCE (PACAF): We don't have chickens yet, as they haven't been funded. The latest projection is for chickens in FY2002, at which time they will be WRM assets assigned to ACC. --AIR MOBILITY COMMAND (AMC): The purpose is not important. What is important is that the chicken remained under the OPCON of USCINCTRANS and did not CHOP to the theatre on the other side of the road. Without CHOPing, the chicken was able to achieve a seamless road crossing with near perfect, real-time in-transit visibility. --AIR FORCE MATERIEL COMMAND (AFMC): Recent changes in technology, coupled with today's multipolar strategic environment, have created new challenges in the chicken's ability to cross the road. The chicken was also faced with significant challenges to create and Develop core competencies required for this new environment. AFMC's Chicken Systems Program Office (CSPO), in a partnering relationship with the client, helped the chicken by rethinking its physical distribution strategy and implementation processes. Using the Poultry Integration Model (PIM) CSPO helped the chicken use its skills, methodologies, knowledge capital and experiences to align the chicken's people, processes, and technology in support of its overall strategy within a Program management framework. The CSPO convened a diverse cross-spectrum of road analysts and retired chickens along with MITRE consultants with deep skills in an efficient substitute for F-22s! --Air Education and Training Command: The purpose is to familiarize the chicken with road-crossing procedures. Road-crossing should be performed only between the hours of sunset to sunrise. Solo chickens must have at least three miles of visibility and a safety observer. --Special Ops: The chicken crossed at a 90 degree angle to avoid prolonged exposure to a line of communication. To achieve maximum surprise, the chicken should have performed this manoeuvre at night using NVG goggles, preferably near a road bend in a valley. --Tanker Airlift Control Centre: We need the road-crossing time and the time the chicken becomes available for another crossing. --Command Post: What chicken? --Tower: The chicken was instructed to hold short of the road. This road-incursion incident was reported in a Hazardous Chicken Road-Crossing Report (HCRCR). Please re-emphasize that chickens are required to read back all hold short instructions. --C-130 Crewmember: Just put it in back and let's go! --C-141 Crewmember: I ordered a #4 with turkey and ham, NOT chicken! Besides, where in the hell are my condiments?! We ain't taking off 'til I get my condiments. --Fighter Dude: Look, dude, that was a frag , OK? I've flown my 1.0 for the day and I ain't got time for no more questions. --B-1 crew: Missed the whole show. We had an IFE so we couldn't get out to see it; you'll have to ask the SOF. --Air Force Personnel Centre: Due to the needs of the Air Force, the chicken was involuntarily reassigned to the other side of the road. This will be a 3-year controlled tour and we promise to give the chicken a good-deal assignment afterwards. Every chicken will be required to do one road-crossing during its career, and this will not affect its opportunities for future promotions.

Its the later... if its a bad guy to them its attacked ROE this is Cold War gone Hot...

Okay with the Python its an Israeli weapon not used by the Arab nations best idea is to look at wikipedia for basic weapons and who uses them etc...
