From Jose Ramos's aviation photography. FB page https://www.facebook.com/RamosAviationPhotography Draken's first operational A-4K, N145EM, formerly Royal New Zealand Air Force NZ-6215 also traces its history back to the Royal Australian Navy as an A-4G 871, BuNo is 155052. Under the centerline station is a D-704 refueling store or buddy pod. Draken successfully tested the D-704 refueling system and performed "practice plugs" with TA-4K N141EM on 24 July 2013. Draken International is unique in having this capability in the world of Commercial Air Service companies. http://www.airventure.org/news/2013/130724_draken-to-display-ex-fighter-jets.html

As a former member of the armed forces and now working in public safety for several years. I'm a fence sitter when it comes to this heated topic of "GUN CONTROL". There are pro and con arguments on both sides. I do feel a law abiding citizen a reasonable and prudent person should not have to jump through hoops to legally own a firearm. There should be serious penalties for those that use firearms unlawfully. There are criminals who have used firearms in commission of a crime and are back on the streets within weeks to months. A failure of our legal system, our government? Remember the US Boarder Officer that was killed via a rifle from the ATF's "gunwalking" operation to Mexican drug cartels, some government we have, eh. What's the point of having stricter laws for the legal owners when the scales of justice are grossly and unequally tipped. The laws on both sides must match. If the laws are to make it harder to own a firearm, well then the laws that punish must be equally strict or even harsher. If evil people want to hurt the innocent they will find a way, firearms are just one choice. A car was used to kill a woman and hurt several others in Cali recently, the Boston Bombers used fireworks to create the pressure cooker bomb killing 3 people and injuring 260+, Timothy McVeigh part of the Oklahoma City bombing the attack that killed 168 people and injured over 600, used a box truck fertilizer and fuel oil. Where there's a will, there will always be a way to hurt and kill. Here is the article on the Harvard study on gun control. When reading this remember that people from different countries have different histories so beliefs and values differ. So to say if a majority of the people of one country say the U.S. has legal firearms would murder/suicide be reduced? That would be a tough question to answer. Well, lets just say this country has a lot of guns already, thankfully most are legally owned. http://usfinancepost.com/harvard-gun-control-does-not-reduce-crime-6179.html

I would be more of a freelancer, I would wright something up and submit it, if you like it use it if not, no hurt feelings here. The question is what topics would you want things to be written on? All sim stuff, armed forces, real world, RPG's, console games, fire arms, etc. What would the main content you'd be looking for. I see this site as way more than just a sim based site.

Journalist I am not, however; devil's advocate I am. I look forward to seeing how this pans out. I would be happy to contribute my thoughts and views to the person(s) whom you guys at the top find for the editor in chief.

Never was so much owed by so many to so few was a wartime speech made by the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill on 20 August 1940.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTs9m3qiP4w

I watched this last year online, could have been here on CA. This is a great documentary.

I wouldn't trust this site is a bad influence like that fandangled evil rockin and rollin. You can go into settings and remove some of the virtual condoms that they use to protect your computer from filth sites like this one.

On this day in 1945, Japan learned of the official surrender of Japan through Emperor Hirohito's radio broadcast. Just one of many examples of how war has a lasting effect on people of such a proud nations. Remember their are veterans on both sides of a war. For the soldiers on the line they may not want to be there, but a good soldier will follow orders. I feel the perfect warrior is one who is a highly trained soldier who is never called upon to use their horrific skills of their trade, however; as long as there are those out there that not only wish, but actually do harm to others and their nations. I'm afraid the perfect warrior will not exist for a long time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dw90C4MpHrQ 68 years ago right?

He never did recover from the avalanche. Sad for the little ones and his wife.

That guy is no friend of mine, the e-mail letter I received was pretty rude. It was about 4-5 years ago or something, I wish I had kept it. I should have posted it back then. Roger that!

More like crazy hermit.

Isn't most of his stuff is gen 1, old gen 1. I was holding back when I made my comments. Thank God you came forward and stepped up the game. That guy is a gapping asshole. I wish I had kept that e-mail.

I understand what your saying, it is the first I heard of it though. However, I can see how it could have been distorted on their end. About 5-6 years ago sent them an e-mail requesting permission to the downloads section. I explained I was prior service. I was only looking for a few aircraft. Couple weeks go by no response, I resent the e-mail with a polite "Hey what's up guys just wondering if you had received my original e-mail?". I got a fairly nasty type e-mail back, I was like O.K. don't want me to play with you, oh well. they reserve the right to screen whoever they want, but to be accused of something like what your saying by them Jug or to get an e-mail like I did just says it all. Havn't been back since, I think I've been just fine without them.

You'd be surprised how tuff that little bird is.

Love a good space flick! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuMU2q00w3I

What a majestic beast.

Shut the computer down restart, if that doesn't work looks like you need to do some maint. and a fresh install.

Grabbed the #2 wire. Fair pass.

MIG-1.5

Looks like he did life right.

Not the Corvette I was thinking of, but very cool pics.

Good news for the Cap Coddahs http://www.capecodonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130528/NEWS11/130529711

"She can shoot down planes, She may not get around on the dance floor pretty, but if she's got to protect herself and sisters she can." Of course she can't fight like the C, if she's got speed on her side she can whip the ponies a couple times to press for an advantage. Have you seen an F-15E fly? They are still a pretty nimble bird, not as flippy as a F-15A/C, but they can still make a couple good turns.
