Major Lee

Congratulations! Great job on your high marks...

The co-pilot? What was the pilot doing, having a cup of tea? Well, no matter, it was a great landing! It could have been tragic...

Well, no... I haven't seen "Rupert Red Two", but an online check of Barnes & Noble shows my local store has a copy... I'll pick this up this weekend! That looks like a fascinating read... Thanks! ML

Windows Vista? Oh, you mean Windows ME II...

Well, at least it was on blocks and not glass pop bottles...

Man... All the way from China, just to drop short like that... Only a few hundred feet closer and it wouldn't have been issue... Low and slow with one engine suddenly out has got to be terrifying.

It is????? I had NO idea... Well, I guess that cuts the prize back to lunch and bragging rights, and of course, my diatribe about the Thunderbolt... Still, no one has come up with the easier to type URL...

I have secured a new domain name. I did it right this time, registering the domain myself, instead of relying on an unreliable host. I have also secured a hosting service, appropriate for the needs of the Aerodrome. So, while you wait on me to post the NEW site, let's see if anyone can find the new URL... Whoever posts a link first will win! The prize is paid admission to the US Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio, during my next trip there. I will be your personal tour guide and expound endlessly on the virtues of the P-47, the greatest combat aircraft of WWII. I'll even buy lunch at the Valkyrie Cafe'... Of course, you'll have to co-ordinate with me, whenever I happen to get down there... Anyway, let's see if anyone can find the new site... ML...

Any landing from which you can walk away... Just a bit short...

I always liked the F-100, but even more so after reading "Boyd; the Fighter Pilot Who Changed the Art of War". Incredible book, a must read... http://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Fighter-Pilot-W...d/dp/0316881465 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Boyd_(military_strategist)

and what about the X-29??? HMMM???

I saw Star Wars at "The Quad" in Saginaw, Michigan, back when the quad actually had FOUR screens and let me tell you, a four screen theater was a BIG DEAL back then... I was 12 and that movie was a long, long time ago in a past, far, far away...

Take a break for a few days... Stand by...

Maybe a two Sparrows grasped the head in their tiny claw like feet and carri.... never mind.... wrong show...

Happy Birthday!!

Well, I have a copy of the Aerodrome in a safe place... That's all that matters...

You wouldn't believe the emails I got from them... Phone support was a test of patience: generally one to two hours on hold before one could speak to a person. Email responses took 24 to 48 hours... They have fallen off the face of the Earth this year in terms of customer service. They used to be top notch; now they're just useless... This is an actual email I received from IPW... I am guessing that English is not this person's first language, or that this is a Google translation of Farsi or Pashtu... In order to get the old backup of your account we need you to get back to us with the confirmation regarding the backup of the files if you have recently made any changes for your Web site.

As of now, the Aerodrome is closed. I thank you for all your support over these many years. The old address majorleesaerodrome.net has been shut off. My former webhost, Ipowerweb.com, was completely and utterly incompetent. They migrated my site to a new server and managed to leave behind all content items, such as pictures and Zip files... Ipowerweb is currently under investigation for fraud; just Google their name and the word fraud... The Aerodrome will return soon with a new look and a new, easier to type address... I shall return!

X-29 data... http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/news/Fa...S-008-DFRC.html there might be lots of info on this canard bird...

The Castle.... very nice...

LODs for greater distance should have progressively less detail and each LOD file should be smaller in size to reduce the load on the game system...

Capun has produced a series of static aircraft for airfield decoration. Also, I believe other static AC have been made. The next patch for SF will resolve this issue and allow parked "regular" aircraft. This is implemented in the recent FE expansion.... Otherwise, the 1/2 aircraft deal is a known issue... It has to do with not having landing gear displayed, thereby keeping the AC off the ground... Personally, for decoys, I think these are ok, given the low quality of decoy needed to actually "fool" pilots flying at speed... Recall some of the crude stuff from WWII...
