@Nesher @Capitaine Vengeur @Wrench Epic is doing a free game every day until Christmas it looks like. So the free game is City Skylines however you get a $10.00 off coupon. Star Wars Squadrons is on sale for $23.99 ...

@Nesher @Wrench Epic Game Launcher is your friend. New free games every week. Sometimes you get some really good ones for free. For instance I got Assassin Creed for free. I got Watchdogs 1 and 2 for free. Farming Simulator 19 (I have a crop duster mod in there so I can get the flying going in a relaxing game :D) Troy was given away fore free there too along with Borderlands 2. I mean the games are old but I don't care because they're free and bug free as well. Elite Dangerous was the free game there a couple of weeks ago I think.

Article From the Guardian Hearing the news of his death this morning was a shock. I mean get that he lived a long life but still it was a shock to see the news. Allow me to share with you a couple of fond memories. Back in '96 I got a chance to fly for the first time with the EAA's Young Eagle program of which hew as an honorary member. That program really fueled my love for aviation. Sadly I never went to college and flew in the air force; however, my love of aviation has never diminished. Even got a chance to interview him; however, I never published his interview here because he didn't time to answer a lot of the questions and most of the questions could be answered by reading his book. But I do remember when his answer to one question though about what he felt when he broke the sound barrier and his reply was "A sense of accomplishment". I have some pics of that certificate I got back in '96. I flew that small plane for all 10 seconds :) went down, went up, turned left, turned right, a total of 10 inches in either direction lol. The pilot said "you sure that's all you wanted to do?" Me: "yup I'm good".

This is pretty awesome. For a second I thought it was a video game. I heard this job was really stressful and I think this system would be greatly beneficial.

Saw this on Imgur had to share it here. I'm not military but I do enjoy how all the branches don't pull punches when making fun of each other.

The F-22 Raptor was developed to counter a growing threat during the cold war. However as hostilities subsided the need for this aircraft went away according to some. To others there's still a great need for this aircraft. Moving beyond the drama and focusing on the facts, the F-22 Raptor isn't something to scoff at and we'll quickly explain this aircraft history in this presentation.

Okay I've seen the charts before but this video really helps put things into perspective. What's your favorite fictional air or space craft? Not going to lie, some of these are much smaller than I thought they'd be and others a larger than I thought they'd be as well.

So ... explain to me why basic training has to be like a day camp now?

Can there be a movie about General Mattis? I'd love to watch a movie about him.

I'd like to think that soon after they took off, someone happily mowed that patch of grass. It looks to me they like to keep their field looking good.

This segment is all about the AH-1w Super Cobra. The AH-1w Super Cobra was introduced to service in 1986 and is being replaced by the AH-1z Viper or "Zulu Cobra" the difference with the Zulu Cobra is that it features 4 rotor blades and the Target Sighting System or TSS. In this video you'll learn about this aircraft's routes in Vietnam as well as a brief history about the Cobra.

My question ... is wearing this at all times like something they did in the 50s?

https://i.imgur.com/WWLB1cp.mp4 ... do we still have a video player here?

This reminds me of the time McAfee was trying to shake this site down for money.

I'm researching for my QAF video of season 2 and came across this photo. I just had to share this here.

Dude that's awesome! Good find.

Agreed. It even waved goodbye before leaving.

American press, especially Fox, loves dressing things up. Like that time a concrete practice bomb was dropped in Japan ... American press: US BOMBS JAPAN IS WAR COMING? ... People that know better: It's a chunk of concrete ... things are good here. Shit happens.

https://i.imgur.com/EMGokbt.mp4 I don't know what kind of gun this is. It's snub nose something or other. I'm wondering what kind of damage this thing can do though.

Hello, Some of you may know I have this little project called Quick Aircraft Facts where a particular aircraft is featured in 3 minutes or less. I would like to do one about the F-14 Tomcat; however, DVIDS, the source for Defense Video Imagery released on a Public Domain license, doesn't have a lot of F-14 Video. I did find an archives that had F-14 video but they wanted to charge me $30/per second (which equates to $2,700). Since I'm no where near the 1k sub mark on YouTube I am not going to see any kind of funding at all. Let's face it you can zoom in and zoom out on still images for so long. So my thoughts are this. I can use what little video I'm able to find of the F-14, some still images, and I'm wondering if anyone here has DCS F-14 module and would like to share some video you took. Full credits to you, and links to your website and YouTube channel. If you're interested here's what I'm looking for. 1 carrier launch and 1 landing (in cockpit or external .. either one will be great) In flight action, either flying around, engaging targets, or both. (again up to you if you want to show internal or external) Oh speaking of engaging targets if you're able to get air to ground action for the later variants I'll include that snippet about them too. Firing of the AIM-54 Phoenix missile. (If possible I'd like an external view) Whatever in cockpit or external shots you'd like to include I"ll try to get them in there. And the sweep wings in action (I think my other video I have will show this but I'd like to have another clip) I'll happily work with whatever you send. Also please let me know the name you'd like to have shown in the credits. Clips are going to be short; however, you can send long videos if you'd like and I'll snip what will fit with the QAF presentation. I'm also thinking about doing another series where I'll chat about aircraft with your permission I can feature your F-14 footage again there too and really go into details that would be skipped over or crammed into a nutshell in QAF. Thank you for your time.

Saw this on Imgur. Had to share this here on CombatACE
