  1. Did you try with every "SF1 proof" B-52 models ? TMF made a really nice one who actually nicely works on WOE, may he could also did it on WOI.

    I believe some Free French Air Force "Groupes" flew on ex-U.S P-40 in North Africa.
  3. MTO

    Six F-6A-NA (later designated P-51-2-NA) "Apache" with K24 recon cameras were sent to the 154th Observation Squadron (of the XII Air Support Command) in Tunisia on April 2 1943. The next day one the pilots, the 2nd Lieutnant Kenner lost his life aboard one of them, and the first operational mission was on the April 9. Some weeks after they were sent to the 111th Reconnaissance Squadron, they were the only P-51 "Mustang/Apache" in operations over North Africa. They were made on base of original R.A.F "Mustang" Mk. IA with 4x20mm cannons. Hope it help you
  4. Hi to everyones. Is there still some "special" aircraft decommissioned but having their approved flight licence ? Does these Intruder wonders still got a legal clearance to fly ? Even uncommon aircraft such as the Alizée are now grounded, and probably for the rest of their life, considered as asbestos flying bricks.
  5. Some missing planes.

    It makes you want to come here, only to hear the screaming from the Dragonfly or the Magister ! Alas what will become of these wonders had once retired, will they let civilians be able to buy and fly them ? Or the air forces will let them become relics, preserved in museums (although it's always better than see them get dismantled and scrap) ? There are still an old M.S Paris who fly in France, the only problem is these commentators who still have to open their big mouths, restricting us from listening to the music of heaven.
  6. After Ghibli, Pixar and LucasFilm...

    Disney bought The Expendables licence !
  7. After Ghibli, Pixar and LucasFilm...

    Hehehe welcome in the cartoons world
  8. Iraq nixes $4B Russian arms deal

    Uh uh uh, may this founds will be used to relaunch some ex-"homemade" projects.
  9. Some missing planes.

    Like these ones. I'm aware that an ex-U.S.M.C AV-8A and B pilot is now flying a Harrier FRS.2 at some airshows. There is also a two seats F-100 who is still airborn, some A-4 and F-4, but it seems hard to find any fifty to forthy years old planes... like A-6, A-7 or even F-8...
  10. Britain has invaded 172 countries!

    The Brits already invade Monaco, but with an army of Aston-Martin and Rolls-Royce cars...
  11. help me understand something, Navy uniforms.

    Strangely the White color is often associated to the Royalty and obedience. Perhaps it rejoins one of the numerous common concepts from the worldwide Navies ?
  12. Does CHAMP can also cooking chicken ? Interesting micro-wave application, but the amount of pulse may be lethal (after years) for the people inside the target. It really looks like to be a Neutron Bomb, but non-nuclear.
  13. hurricane Sandy vs "The Old Guard"

    Exemplary. Besides, I would like to take this article an umpteenth time to greet the brave men who helped us during various hurricanes that struck us. Whether the American pilots who landed in storm with their C-130 and C-17 the day after The 1995 hurricane has hit us, civilian worldwide pilots on various aircrafts from IL-76 to the Cessna Caravan, and ,of course, every French Air Force Transall, Alouette III and Ecureuil crew.
  14. Just Plane Wrong

    http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/JustPlaneWrong "In reality, a plane that loses power retains its aerodynamic properties and momentum and can be guided down to an emergency landing if the pilot doesn't manage to restart the engines. In fiction, a plane that loses power instantly slows to zero speed and plummets." Partially right. The C-172 lift-to-drag max ratio or even the 747 (which got a better one) is the perfect exemple of what they said, but some models, especially military, get some of the worst gliding ratio when their engines are shut off.
  15. Huge Freakin Storm!

    Good luck. The larger islands have again been hit. Hoping that this does not happen on densely populated areas.
  16. HOLY SH&^T!

    Whaa these poor guys must have done in their clothes !!! Looks like, from the beginning of the video, the supply would be conducted in a ​​turbulence area.
  17. Best, worst movie death scene ever

    I personnaly always give a top place to this one...
  18. BF2142 ID problems.

    Hello to everyone, I would like to know if someone already managed to re-install his game without ID problems or menu connection ? A few years ago I bought a first copy of BF2142, then one day it was unable to reconnect. EA and DICE can not give any solutions (or more simply never respond) I bought a second copy of the game... that once the serial number menu announced me that the ID number and the game was already in use. A lot of money thrown away for nothing. So is there somebody who has already managed to find a solution ? Thank you in advance.
  19. Mechwarrior Online

    Arrg... online ? Does that mean it will be a multiplayer only without possibility to play solo ? Finally, the graphics look so beautiful that I'll put my bitterness aside. Thanks for answering!
  20. Mechwarrior Online

    These graphics... beautiful. What Mechwarrior is it ? I played before on 2 and 3, but CDs were lost during a house move...
  21. Is this could not be linked to a patch issue ? Same thing appeared on a FS9 Heathrow add-on and was due to a patch.
  22. All is in the title. Does someone could help me to discover which was the last J57 powered C-135 variant who have flown ? One of the latest I found was the NKC-135A (BuNo 553134, construction number: 17250) from the Fleet Electronic Warfare Support Group, and based at Norfolk AFB. As any modernisations was considered too expensive (even TF-33 addition), he was withdrawn in February 1996 and sent to the AMARC. One of his brother, the 563596 who severd in Recce Strike or ALOTS program was also withdrawn from the F.E.W.S.G and sent to Davis-Monthan in 1994.
  23. After months of wait I finally saw Red Tails on an available DVD and something hurting me (may we except the dialogues)... how a film including so well designed effects, as the rate of fire between MG-13 and guns pods seen from the pilot's seat of a Bf-109, the distinctive snap of Me-262 30mm or simple scratches on glass, can put in 1945 a 50 stars flag ? I can understand that around the world many people are not interested in the U.S. history, personally as not being American, except for anecdotes or the most famous battles, I only know her war part of the twentieth century. But here it's joke to make a mistake like this ? Not only for the History passionates that we are, but also for the national public who shurely saw this directly during the film projection.
  24. English class in spain

    The same treatment during my high school time past in France where the teens learn English as talk in London high-class neighborhood, and they told me that I got a "too much American accent". Here, in Caribbean, we took our first English lesson at the age of five/six, and most of our teachers were locals or coming from Puerto-Rico, Antigua or even Florida and most of the tourists are U.S, so it's hard to get a "so British" accent.
  25. pic from airshow

    It's interesting to discover that the shells are put in rotation from a rotating base itself. Thanks for sharing !
