yes on the USAF considering the Tom, as they were forced to by Congress. but buzz numbers were done by that point in time. as to the Tomcat in AF plummage, i made a model when i was in Kosovo of a Tomcat in Illinois ANG markings(my home state) with Phoenixes mounted. Painted similar to the F-16 ADF. so i fully agree with it. as to the Illinois ANG, something to consider Mr Spinners see how i get all nice when i would like something?

if i remember right there was some talk by a senator of giving Iran's undelivered Tomcats to the guard in just such a capacity. of course they went to the Navy instead. sourse would have been a better home for the old warbirds than AMARC me thinks...........

i completely understand bro. good luck on job hunting and keep the faith, something will pop up your way eventually.

really not to mention that the 'winder seeker head is still considered ordinance and a big no-no to sell. even a early generation detection system, going the other route, would still kinda piss off the Navy if they found out it was being sold. my take away, this show and these people are NOT near any bases as they clearly do not know how to sell military items! :lol:

ok maybe i read a bit too much into your post. i have seen several threads locked up lately (KAW, Buccaneer) due to constant questions about the status of them. i apologize fer snapping at you. shouldn't post when R/L has me grumpy anyhow. @ wrench thankyou for the updates. kinda figured OTC was close with all the screenies you've been posting and thats the first i've heard on KAW since Dave said stop askin!

as a brief update to my question earlier, i tried just StartDate and ServiceStartDate as well as ServiceEndDate and no dice. would be nice but i'm a lazy purist, that is i work with what i got

will this be totally new or a rework of DAT's for Gen 2?

what is the dinosaur your speakin of? if you have vista or newer SF2 is much better. i believe it even works on XP tho dunno how well. hell im runnin a compaq presario c700 laptop so you know im not exactly state of the art here and i get way better operation than i did Gen1 on my XP machine or on here. not to mention the filepaths for the mods got simple enough this noob could get into it and not botch his installs. as for wives, i understand that. two and a half years into Gen2 being out and i'm about to finally have the full merged install. think thats when TK will release SF Tomcat!

cool info on the skins. won't make them go away in the loadout screen but as it says it sets the default for what comes up first. any way to make a skin vanish outside its assigned years(the way a F-4D_78 wont show in '77 )?

i have a f*(%ing dream! that one day the $%#%#@% snakes will get off my #@%#$%# plane!

why was it honorable? there are tales throughout the early years of military aviation of airmen in amazing survival situations. your chap could have been one of those!

dude that is seriously rude in tone and in asking. those that stopped posting stopped due to R/L issues or cause they got bugged by the constant questions. they will be out in due time. as the old saying goes in two weeks. (figure of speech not a real 14 day period.) if you were in touch with specific people about projects PM them otherwise wait patiently like the rest of us out here.

and this one won't be grounded by budget cuts!

sadly i had a soldier who looked just like Achmed. care to guess what i called him when i wasnt callin him big dummy?

i see your Tempest V and raise you a Tempest II the DAT models work but are........ quirky.

Well you all knew this was coming. To kick off..... 1 Reworked P-47D 2 C-54 good for KAW and Berlin, circa 1948 (and yes Wrench i know i've been askin for it forever) 3 C-97/KC-97 what would the rest of you guys like to see out there?

i figured the -21 was part of the Royal Airforce of Wilson, COL Hanks CinC no transport capability though, everything goes thru FedEx! (no offence FC)

yes but you still didnt answer my question from there

and so NZ is fighting who, uber-rich outcast tribe members of Survivor?

i should look online but while im still in fayetteville i only have 2 major bookstores plus about 3 used bookstores in town. and yes i cant always find it! that or Eagle Station by Mark Berent (read the other 4 books in the series). just stubborness on method on my part i guess.

i've gathered from the bits i have read in the store, just always find it when i have no cash(usually the better time to window shop, and figure out if ya really want something!)

was flying F-16A over Germany last night. sweet shot on a Mig23 in burner with a Lima Sidewinder at .9 mi, then my wingman goes across the shot drws the 'winder off the mig and suddenly i'm getting checkfire calls. ugh! worst part was he had expended everything on the way in and i told him to RTB!!!
