Chaotic scene in Boston area after explosions, gunfire, fatal shooting of MIT officer
ezlead replied to Dave's topic in The Pub
I figure that once he gets healthier,Homeland Security will step in and say he's a terrorist and he belongs to us. Then it will probably be off to Gitmo. I don't figure they will make him disappear,he's had to much 'Press". They will keep him out of the media for quite a while,though. -
Strike Fighters Notes
ezlead posted a topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - General Discussion
Has anyone compiled a SF2 notes or updated SF Notes for SF2? It seems to me that a lot was added to the game engine(.exe) for SF2. -
Congrats Councilman Typhoid!! Now you get to put up with budget cuts,soccer moms complaining about the parks,Police and Firefighters not making enough money,etc,etc,etc. One perk in my town is,whenever a new alderman is elected his street mysteriously gets repaved within a year. I hope yours needs new blacktop. :rofl:

I met Capt. Steve Ritchie at the O'club in Guam in 1972. He had just shot down his 5th Mig a couple days before and he was on his way home(Aces were sent home immediately after getting their 5th kill so that they would not be shot down on another mission.) There was a B-52 bird colonel in the club that was being a real putz. He was coming down the bar bad mouthing anybody who was not a B-52 person. He got to Ritchie and started in on him. Ritchie didn't even blink when he started telling off the full bird. The bird demanded Ritchie's name,rank and service number. Ritchie immediately gave it to him. The bird finally realized who he was talking to,closed his little notebook,turned and left the club. The club broke out with all kinds of cheers and applause. Ritchie had a very distinguished Air Force career and he was one hell of a fighter pilot.

The Zuni hit the fuel tank of the A-4 next to McCains A-4. McCain sat in the cockpit of his airplane trying to decide whether to get out and run or eject. After the first bomb exploded McCain unstrapped,got out,ran down the refueling probe jumped to the deck and ran like HE!!. If you google Forrestal fire and watch the movie you will see him. The A-4's were carrying the old style 1000 lb bombs,which "cook-off" with a lot less heat than the newer ones. If they had been carrying the newer bombs,the damage might not have been so bad. Instead of going with his squadron on the Forrestal back to Peal Harbor,McCain transferred to the A-4 squadron on the Oriskany. He was shot down and became a POW a month or so later.

Wings over Korea
ezlead replied to TimT1's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
Just because he's been active for 5 months,doesn't mean he's here everyday. Be kind to the newby's. You were one once. What usafphantom2 said!!! Heavy print and caps means you're hollaring. Welcome Aboard,TimT1! -
The Corps will officially establish VMFA-121 Tues. 20 Oct 2012 at Yuma,Az. The outfits new aircraft will be the F-35B. 1 will be delivered on that day. Training will start with just a few pilots. Within a year,the squadron should be fully manned,with all aircraft delivered. The Corps is tired of the delays and is pushing the delivery schedule. OOOHHHRRRAAAHHH!!!

Is it possible to get an air burst from any aircraft carried weapon or gun? I have been trying a lot of different guns and weapons in the air,but they only go off when they get a direct hit on the enemy.

Just like all the other carriers,She served with guts and pride,because of the people who were aboard her. It's time to let her rest. I can almost guarantee that there will be another to carry on in her name. "Fair winds and Following seas". She was a great ship.

Apparently F-4 Drivers weren't the only ones to fly that way. Hey Typhoid!! Of Course,it just has to be a Marine.

Focke-Wulf FW 187 Falke (Falcon) Here's a great WW2 aircraft site! http://www.militaryfactory.com/

It would be a GREAT aircraft! But,like FC says, it would be tremendously cost prohibitive. You would have to retool for the entire aircraft. With new composites,hydraulics,flight controls,computers,etc. it would take 100's of millions maybe billions to just start the project. I'm not a big fan of the F-35,but "Money Talks" when it comes to politicians.

C-2 Greyhound looks like the #4 wire
ezlead replied to MAKO69's topic in Military and General Aviation
LSO would grade OK in groove,OK in close,caught gust at the ramp,4-wire. It was acceptable,but not OK. LSO's that I knew would give OK only on a 3-wire trap. You would get graded on 4 phases. In groove,In close,the ramp and which wire. They would be posted on the "Greenie Board" for all to see. Yes Typhoid,the LSO's would love to get you going on the debrief.(Such names as Hamburger,HamFist,Dilbert,Gomer Pyle-for the Marines,Lt.-Joe s**ttheragman,etc.) These were the nice ones. Sometimes it got really ugly and embarassing. Which the LSO and other pilots loved. -

WW2 Russia (SF2V+E+Mods+CPL Eng.) Operation Olympic (SF2V+E+Mods) (WW2 Invasion of Japan) 50's-60's Cold War (SF2V+E+Mods) Vietnam War (SF2V+E+Mods) 70's-80's (SF2V+E+Mods) Israeli Wars (SF2 Israel) 90's-Modern Day (SF2V+E+Mods) Including Desert Storm My machine won't run SF2NA or I would have it.

You can fly the "Good Guys" aircraft or the "Bad Guys" your choice. You can't go anywhere else and do that! You can do what you want but,I'm here for the duration that CA is here. -
The Green Mile wouldn't be the same movie if not for him. RIP Mr. Duncan. You became a terrific actor.

A true American hero for everyone to aspire to. A man the kids of today can look up to. "Fair winds and following seas,Commander." He is back walking amongst the stars.

C-17 lands at wrong airfield
ezlead replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation
You can forget a lot of things,except for the "pick 'em up and put 'em downers". In Navy flight school(Primary),they taught us GUMP(Gas,Undercarriage,Mixture,Prop). I still use it today whenever I fly. I'm like FC. I check the gear handle and lights many times in the pattern. Even if they're :down and welded. -
C-17 lands at wrong airfield
ezlead replied to SayethWhaaaa's topic in Military and General Aviation
That proves that the C-17 can get in and out of almost anywhere. That's what it was designed for. I was coming back from Winnipeg to Nebraska in an Aero Commander Twin with passengers. Supposed to stop at Grand Forks Intl.,Grand Forks,N.D. for customs. Called at about 6 miles for straight in to Runway 17. It was a beautiful summer day. CAVU to the moon and vis 15 miles. It was Sunday and things were slow,so tower cleared me to land. I was about 3 miles out when tower called and told me to turn left 45 degrees. I did as I was told and that is when I finally noticed all those really BIG green and brown airplanes sitting on the ramp. Grand Forks Air Force Base has a similar runway pattern to International. I was lined up for the Air Force Base. That is back in the day when GFAFB was frontline SAC. I called the tower and thanked them for saving my butt. If I would have touched down at the AFB,they would have met me with armed Air Force Security,impounded the plane and arrested me and the passengers. OH,those BIG green and brown airplanes were KC-135's and B-52's and there were a lot of them. I was a commercial charter pilot with 4000 hours and considered myself a Pro. It can happen to anyone who flys!! -

What can I do if my add-on weapons don´t work
ezlead replied to Gonzaatleti99's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 1 Series - Mods/Skinning Discussion
What weapons? What aircraft?
