Here's a recon mission Im making for the Korean map using the LA-15 against F-86's. Im sitting on the runway fixing to takeoff and get the mission complete spiel from redcrown. How do I get the mission complete when I overfly the enemy airbase instead of while Im waiting to take off? // ### Mission created with editor "Le Missionneur" version "". ### [MissionHeader] AircraftType=La-15 Fantail MissionMap=Korea MissionType=RECON StartTime=10:30:00 StartDate=5/15/1952 [MissionData] FriendlyAirActivity=1 EnemyAirActivity=1 FriendlyAirDefenseActivity=2 EnemyAirDefenseActivity=2 PlayerMissionID=1 PlayerPositionID=1 MissionNumber=1234 AdjustStartPosition=FALSE AdjustBaseWaypoint=FALSE [Weather] WeatherType=RANDOM WeatherAlt=700 WeatherThickness= HasHighLayer= HighLayerAlt= FogAmount= ContrailAlt=12000 StartWindSpeed=5 StartWindDirection=45 WindGustingAmount=15 [AircraftMission001] AircraftType=La-15 Fantail Name=Tiger Alignment=ENEMY FormationType=SovietFighter Heading= Position=222000.015625,467000.031250,0.000000 RandomChance=100 Size=2 Speed=0.

Lol...I've been "volunteered" many a time during my nearly 14 years of service...Funny thing was, I volunteered once at the recruiters and the Marines and Navy took that as cart blanche to volunteer me anytime they needed too...lol.

pppffffffffffffffffffffffffffftttttttttttttttt!!! Dang man! There went my coffee...and my MONITOR!!! AAAAAAA!!!!

LOL... excuse me, but you've just been volonteered son...

Carriers are tougher than you think. Damage control is a main mantra with the US Navy. You train, train, then train some more. It aint all ice cream and air conditioning. Many carriers have suffered catastrophic damage and still were able to either launch/recover aircraft or at least get home. It only takes a few minutes to have every watertight door closed and the survivablity of the ship just went up incredibly. Thats just last ditch defence for when the outer rings of defence have been peirced. You have the escort ships and subs, the carriers' own defensive weapons, the airwing and its combat air patrol, etc. Sinking or even seriously damaging a CV would not be an easy operation and it would likely cost whoever attempted it.

Came aboard her in Nov. 77 when she was in portsmoth Naval shipyard for 9 month ROH. We deployed to the Med in June 79 after a year or more in workups. Was in 4th Div as PO in Charge of the fantail. Yes, I was the one that painted all those pretty anchors on the bits back aft. Then moved to 3rd div to run liberty boats. Since ya put it that way, easy to see why the skipper would get his butt canned...too bad really. Cant take things for granted on a CV thats for sure.

Lol...why does that sound sooooooo true....lol.

Nesher, I think the IDF stands just as tall for freedom.... Can any of you guys UNDER 30 tell me who gave that very significant speech?

Whoa....I think I just wet myself... That is one incredible cockpit! Very cool plane...

Found this rather moving video and thought you would like it. Nothing more comforting to a former jarhead and squid than to see aircover overhead when times were tense... ASB USAF Promo link Uno Ab Alto

There are some other cool vids in there too I saw. Thanks for the link to a nice website; hadnt seen this one before.

Kinda surprising they held the CO and XO so accountable for someone elses actions. I know skippers are responsible for the ship they command but seems a bit extreme. There are always idiots and mistakes; a CO cant cover everything....geeze... Maybe he just forgot to kiss the admirals butt one morning and the admiral never forgot... I was on the Independance back in '77-'79. We had a fire on that boat it seemed at least once a month on average. If the Navy has brought the fire frequency average down in the succeeding years, they've done well. Those boats are floating fire-bombs.

Thanks all. Learn something new everyday...

I was flying a campaign today in an AIM-9C equipped F-8 crusader against Parani Mig-17s. When I selected the Aim's, I never got a tone telling me they were online and ready. Got behind a couple migs on different occassions and never got a lock tone either. What gives? Arnt the Aim-9's all IR?

They have all hands make sure their grounded before refueling begins right?

Shinkazama, nice video. They arent easy to make are they, lol. Nice fisheye camera effect. What effects mods were you using? The gunfire and explosion effects were pretty cool. Any other enviorment mods too? Looked like you had a camera view mod also.

Good stories Rambler. Couldnt sleep this morning so came to CA and found your thread. I went thru them all and didnt even need a cup of coffee...

Ok, tryin not to laugh too much while typing this...glad I didnt have a drink in my mouth...

Kewl! Thats for the update craig...

Damn...another Spruance goes down...hope it wasnt the David Ray...

Congartulations Mr. and Mrs. Laton...

I'll never forget that day. Despite the shock, sadness, uncertainty, and anger, it was heart-warming to see this good country come together like that. You know, I was in San Diego at the time. We were PISSED at how bad NY had treated our Tony Gwynn in the '98 World Series. Any NY'er was definately persona non grata after that. When 9/11 happened, all that disapeered. All San Diegans wanted to do was help any way they could. I was so proud of them during that crisis... And yes, to get back on topic, I might allow a certain agreement to your statement about the immediacy of a crisis. Even then, its tough for me to relinquish any of my liberties except for the good of the country on a very temporary basis. You know, this has really been an excellent, thought provoking discussion. Whats the old saying, two heads are better than one? Theres another one too...the more eyes looking at something, the better the perception.
