Crap!

One less future target for an AMRAAM...

The C-5 Galaxy is only used by the USAF. I'm sure their C-5 is something completely different.

Can't wait to try those Vipers! :)

Great pics, I'm jealous!

From AvWeb's AvFlash Navy's X-47B Drone Flies Gear Up The Navy's project to develop a tailless drone that can take off and land from ships at sea reached a milestone recently when the X-47B test aircraft retracted its landing gear and flew in cruise configuration for the first time. The successful test took place at Edwards Air Force Base in California on September 30, the Navy said this week. "Reaching this critical test point demonstrates the growing maturity of the air system, and its readiness to move to the next phase of flight testing," said Janis Pamiljans, program manager for Northrop Grumman. The project team aims to complete take-offs and landings from an aircraft carrier in 2013. The recent flight was part of an ongoing envelope expansion program for the first of two X-47B aircraft produced by Northrop Grumman for the Navy's Unmanned Combat Air System Carrier Demonstration program. Envelope expansion flights are used to demonstrate aircraft performance under a variety of altitude, speed and fuel load conditions, according to Northrop Grumman's news release.

I was trying to sign up using a similar name, but I keep getting rejected due to my email (gmail). I tried with my comcast email, but nothing yet. PS thanks for posting the PDF

Seeing as how I'm still unable to register at the CH Hangar, where can I get the idiot's guide in PDF? I used to have it...but I'm an idiot

Ever think that the plane was jealous of all that technology?

If a/c are on an IFR plan, you can track them here: http://flightaware.com/live/airport/1O2

You can land anything anywhere....ONCE :) I'll check into the numbers and see what I can find.

Holy Crap!

Right now I've only done programming through SF2 (gotta get my fix :) ). I'll be checking out the CH manager in due time.

My Fighter stick and Pro Throttle came in Friday, set them up today. I'll have a bit of a curve for programing, but i'm able to get back into SF after a very long wait. Still gotta get my registration cleared up over at the hanger, but it should be a good place to start.

Nice

Thanks for the input guys!

I looked around the KB and the site in general about the possibility of running SF on a Mac/Windows machine. I'm sure it's been discussed before, just can't remember where. Thanks

Awesome!

They are all from the Quonset Air Muesuem. Wasn't able to get over toe the A-4 / P-3 area, got invited to hang out at the OPS building instead

I read somewhere a few years ago that this was taken from a drone....

Always bad to see a plane crash...glad the crew is relatively OK.

What the heck is a liter? j/k Too to hear that someone is actually getting a new-ish airplane for tanking.

Sweet pics!
