  1. 70 years ago: Here they come !

    Only promise ever fulfilled by a politician
  2. Air power in 'Nam

    I think the redeye was older.
  3. NATO Award for 'Courageous Restraint'

    Courageous Restraint. That's what we all practice every day here in Spain (and a lot more places in the world I guess) by not killing our politicians .
  4. 65 Years ago

    May-7-1945. German forces surrendered to the western allies. Surrender to the russians (a mere formality at that point) was signed the following day.
  5. 65 Years ago

    Well captain, sharing a set of buildings with a lot of friendly civilians is quite different from sharing them with a lot of hating civilians.
  6. NATO Award for 'Courageous Restraint'

    How long before the "Let them kill you award"?
  7. Air power in 'Nam

    I thought they already had SA-3.
  8. Holy cow! it can't be!

    Could the turboprop take as much damage as the original radial piston engine and keep running?. If it can't then you should add a lot of armor.
  9. El mejor avión de caza para los hispano parlantes

    El Hornet sí iba a ser dado de baja sustituido por el F-35, mientras el Super Hornet sustituiría al Tomcat. Supongo que también se puede ver como "no sustitución". Cuestión de punto de vista que diría Obi Wan Kenobi. Por cierto, curioso que el actual caza pesado de la US Navy empezara su existencia como proyecto de caza ligero para la USAF.
  10. May the Forth Be with you...

    Well, nobody is perfect. May the forth be with you all.
  11. El mejor avión de caza para los hispano parlantes

    Como caza de 4ª generación he votado al F-15. Creo que en conjunto es el mejor:velocidad, alcance, armamento, polivalencia (estoy dando por supuesto que el F-15 E está incluido en la encuesta) y creo que no está mal de agilidad, aunque no sea comparable a los que llegaron después.
  12. Ukrainian Parliamentary Brawl

    As a fellow PIGSitizen I totally agree with you.
  13. Heritage Flight

    WOW!!!!
  14. El mejor avión de caza para los hispano parlantes

    Yo dudaba entre el Phantom y el Viggen. Al final voté por el americano por el historial de combate y porque sirvió con el ejército del aire español.
  15. Ukrainian Parliamentary Brawl

    At least you can have some fun with this politicians. It's much more than what we get here.
  16. Fraps

    Does last FRAPS version work with Windows XP? Every time I try to start it, my system dies (old blue screen). I've downloaded again and reinstalled it, but it happened again. I'm not sure it's a problem of FRAPS not being compatible with XP or somthing being wrong with my computer.
  17. F-8 Crusader vs MiG-17 in Vietnam

    Yes, but if I'm not mistaken, US Navy used the Phantom as a pure fighter, so it's not such a big advantage when comparing between US Navy planes.
  18. F-8 Crusader vs MiG-17 in Vietnam

    AFAIK, in the time of Vietnam war Sparrows were very unreliable (about 9% hits, against 18% for Sidewinders). Anyway, neither Sparrow nor Sidewinder were dogfighting missiles; they were designed as bomber interception weapons.
  19. Israeli navy becomes deep water

    Targeting european cities? Unlikely. Israel has enough enemies as it is, and I don't think they're interested in getting more.
  20. The Warrior Song (Vid)

    Just click "reply" on any meesage with a youtube video and copy it, changing the video URL.
  21. Convair Kingfish

    Thanks to it never leaving the drawing board we have the Blackbird.
  22. What the hell is going on with women in England

    Only changed her accent? I heard a few days ago about a girl in Croatia who changed her language after waking from a coma. Now she only speaks german (a language she had just started to learn).
  23. OFF TOPIC

    Bueno, recordad el F-20 Tigershark. Era un cacharro más o menos equivalente a un F-16 (bueno, tal vez un poco menos) y básicamente también era un F5. De todas formas, si los iraníes no tienen nada mejor, digo yo que tendrán que aprovechar los F-5 mientras duren.
  24. G. W. Bush

    Vietnam, perhaps? It seems like learning it the first time (Korea) was asking too much from politicians.
  25. German Troops Killed in Afganistan.

    If they were willing to stop playing around, I don't think they'd be politicians.
