Mudd, get with me later. I was trying to get SC up and running again, but ran into CTDs with the SCX mods. Would love to do some MP sometime.

On the MD80 series the front LAV is right under the access stairs to board the plane. It's always a treat when the hose breaks lose and crap gets dumped all over the tarmac right in front of people boarding the plane. You see, not all airports have jetways.LOL

Does it come with the sport package? What about a Warranty?

Archer, it was a Joke bud. Has to do with Naval aviators not landing but making controlled crashes on the flight deck. Was being sarcastic in saying that was a good landing. I guess I'm the only one who got it.LOL

Blues Brothers and Caddy Shack are two of my favorite classics. "Shan na na na na na na"

I would say 85% of us really could care less, but there are these bleeding heart types who like to complain about everything and make mountains out of molehills. I just personally don't like the Superbowl being turned into a Rock concert.

What about that F18 footage makes you think that was a crash? lol

Jeff you didnt miss anything man, hell she had a pasty on so it was all planned. You know how these hollywood types are, always trying to make a statement like the rest of us give a shiznit.LOL Other than that it was P Diddy trying to be a rapper and Nelly grabbing his nutz a few hundred times and Kid Rock, well being Kid Rock. Maybe now that MTV screwed up and lost the deal with the NFL we can get back to football instead of turning the Superbowl into a stupid MTV concert. The only thing these halftime shows accomplish making the rest of the game smokey and screwing up my HDTV picture.LOL

that's awsome!! I wish I had a photo, but when I was a kid I saw a guy in a buick who cut a goodyear tire in half and mounted it to his trunk in an attempt to make his buick look like a cadillac. It was the funniest thing complete with crylon sprey paint and the goodyear still visible on the tire sticking on the trunk.LOL oh and btw, that's not a southern redneck, look at the plates. That's one of those yankee rednecks.lol

Lobby scene in Matrix and Omaha Beach scene in Saving Private Ryan

"It's ok to Prick your finger, but don't finger your prick." "Friendly fire isn't" "If you are leading a flight and find yourself alone, your flight knows something you don't." "If it's leaking then it's good to go, that means it has something in it." "Propellers are only there to keep the pilot cool because when they stop spinning the pilot starts to sweat."

Good stuff Chief.lol

I think it will be a decent game until Halftime then the Pats pull away.

Boy have we advanced, or maybe not.lol I don't remember needing an ID to buy Lawn Darts. All those times we threw those things up in the air and barely missed catching one in the cranium makes me giggle.LOL Today you cant buy sparklers on the 4th of July without a freakin permission slip.lol

sure, go for it

Im looking forward to SH3. Something about the old Deisel/Electric boats. Multiplayer should be a blast.

My most memorable? hmmm, well up until a couple of nights ago I would say it was in JF18 sitting on the flight deck with 7 other squadmates getting ready to launch on a SEAD strike. I had some AC/DC playing on the ol MP3 player and waiting my turn up to Cat2. It was one of the most immersive moments I've had, but a couple of nights ago I think I had a mission that might have topped that. Some of us from the 195th had the pleasure of flying with our own MrMudd the other night on a coop A10 mission in Lomac. The interesting thing about this mission was that it was nothing special. Just your standard strike package going in to take out some bad guys, but it was the events before arriving at the target area that made the mission special. Everyone fired up thier TF34s on the tarmac and after some system checks we peeled off one by one onto the taxiway. As if we were performing tryouts for the Thunderbirds the precision seemed to be flawless. One by One A10s were nuts to butts down the taxiway and pulling into a staggard position on the runway. Flaps set, Brakes set, Canopy down and locked, Seat armed its time to go. Our #1 calls out "Set brakes, run'm up" and in unison all 6 Hogs dipped thier nose and with a 3 count all 6 started to roll down the runway as if we had practiced this takeoff all week. With our airspeed reaching 130 we put a little back pressure on the stick and as the nose slowly lifted so did the rest of the aircraft. All 6 in unison, in formation lifted off of the runway and as soon as the gear came up we began manuvering into position off of the lead. The funny thing is we were all yapping on comms and telling jokes, but as soon as we got airborne something happened. Things got serious, maybe it was Mudd with his Pilot terminology and lingo, maybe it was the lead calling out speed and altitude, but things got serious. You could sense the concentration and it got silent. Everyone was so focused and concentrating on the plane in front of them that we were at a loss of words (if thats possible). It wasn't until we reached the target area that the chatter began to pick up again, but I would have to say that the 20-30 minutes of silence in formation the other night was probably my most memorable to date.

GD, the 195th would be happy to test this if he still needs help. at least 4 of us fly nightly on hyperlobby and this sounds like something which would work well for coop missions

If the scene where the Sailor is kissing his newborn at the end doesnt choke you up then your just not human. This video has been around for a while, but still one of the best made videos from the military I have seen.

Those French are so cute.lol

Although I love the Tomcat I think the FA18C would be more practical for Lomac. It would take less work getting carrier ops and A/G radar than trying to get the two seat deal worked out for the F14.lol

Not unless Rix transfers Snapple.LOL I look for FSU to come on strong in a couple of years actually. Next year is going to be tough since VT and Miami will both be in the ACC. I dare say the ACC will become as tough if not tougher than the SEC has been with Miami and VT in the mix.

If it ends up being Colts and Rams in SB look out its gonna be a shoot out.

Rams over Panthers: Rams at home, Panthers dont have a chance. Colts over Chiefs: Tough game to call and could go either way, but I think Indy has the Defense to beat KC Pats over Titans: McNair is beat up and now so is George. Pats dominate with a weeks rest Eagles over Packers: as much as I want Favre to win another ring, it aint happinin this year. Eagles are at home and hungry. AFC- Colts vs Pats: Pats take it in a close one at home in the snow- again NFC- Eagles vs Rams: Eagles win by a touchdown in the cold in Philly SuperBowl- Pats vs Eagles: Close game with Eagles pulling out a win in the last 2 minutes.

Well, a few of us had a feeling something would happen last night so we stayed up and during one of many refresh clicks, sure enough there it was. So far the work is impressive and there are some really cool things that have been added. The snakeyes are cool, the Flack is cool, the new flight models are cool (the Phantom feels like a big lumbering beast of a jet now), the new graphics engine works really well and I can finally play SF on my Radeon and its really smooth, Multiplayer seems to be stable (no CTDs yet) but still some lag issues (might be user error as well). All in all the game killers have been squashed pretty much along with some cool new stuff added in. SF still needs a good mission builder IMO and the ability to use custom missions in multiplayer. Also the scenery could use a little more life to it, maybe some dynamic stuff like vehicles on the roads, boats in the water, city lights, maybe some clouds, etc but I guess thats easy stuff for the mod people to add
