@KJakker I'd be very interested to see those. I was just watching that on Band of Brothers. Here it is hot as hell where I am and watching that segment in Bastogne makes me feel cold. I've read some accounts to from those who were there. One account said "When I get home and it's the middle of July and I think about how cold I am here. I'm going to build a fire."

Not mine .. thought I share the photo anyway ... kind of makes me wanna watch Band of Brothers.

https://i.imgur.com/9Y2hV10.mp4 I saw this little loop and thought it was interesting how ATC kept the flights out of harms way. Speaking of bad weather does anyone knows what happen for carrier operations? Is there another carrier in the area a pilot can fly to if need be?

shoot man. Now I'm regretting not getting a full 5 merge when I was able to actually ... not really. I got DCS modules. But I am kind kicking myself for not getting a full 5 merge. In my time with 3rdWire. I got WOE and WOV in a box from Big Lots. Then from their store I got SF2, Lost that one ... then SF2E,SF:NA

@MigBusterI've always wanted to know about this. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this report about it!

let's hope ... It's still a fun game.

I didn't see any of that coming ... nicely done.

Ultimate Burn! Damn!

That was good. I'm using that one!

Well played. To hell with expensive commercials n' stuff. Marines know how to recruit on a low budget.

I know this is messed up. But that last one looks like rider is running from their bike.

True story. Fella in my neighborhood has an WW2 era Jeep that he dressed up to look like one from the MASH show. He and his son (before his son passed (I think)) worked on the jeep together.

With your mind your on your money and your money and your mind.

Call me weird but watching this makes me wish for a modern Naval warfare game like DCS meets BattleStations MIdway meets 2018.

Wow. So calm over the comms. A part of the plane is missing, someone went out a hole. All spoken like a golf course announcer. She brought the plane home and kept a lot of other people alive. She did a damn good job. (that's an understatement I know). Well it would be interesting to see how Hollywood would jump on this. Hollywood version: OMG GOD WHAT DO WE DO?! Camera shaking like it's in a tornado. We cut to some passenger having problems with his relationship. He manages to call his SO whom wanted nothing to do with him BUT after the news comes out the SO will suddenly care about his well being, and will stop moving forward with the affair they were having with another person. If the feminist director, decides to even include that, maybe she'll just go ahead and downplay everything every man did and make it seem as if they're clueless, sexist morons. In fact every swinging dick the pilot will encounter will have their worst qualities amplified to such levels the person being portrayed won't even recognize themselves.

I'm intrigued too for various reasons. Such as how the hell did he pull ... part of it off. And what really happened? Was he shot down or did his lack of skill kill 'em? Maybe he didn't flip enough switches or something ... or maybe he didn't press the flair/chaff button in time. As sad as the story is it certainly is interesting.

That's an interesting story and very sad indeed. I am curious though ... how can one make a phone call from a C-130?

I'm working on a new website ... changes here don't reflect final product etc, etc, I've made more changes since this. In other news I managed to the land the UH-1 Huey in DCS without blowing up. Then I got excited on the next attempt and blew up.

Fun fact: When the recruit pulled the knife out. That was Ermey's real reaction. He didn't know the actor had a knife on him.
