Rgr what Dave said. We have to strike a balance between funding the significant costs of running the site with our determination to keep things open and available to everyone.

Plus I lost all that money in Vegas that was supposed to pay for bandwidth. :blush2:

As do I. I am working on a Tesla-based machine right now that will inject a hyper-temporalized stream of cold plasma into the space-time continuum and reduce the passage of time up to 20%.

Thanks for what you are doing!

lol, with their machinists on strike they can't build any damn planes anyway

Dude, they were totally building a Tesla super gun. The evidence has been in front of us all this time. It was probably code-named Bolshoi Boris or something.

Fluctuation in space-time continuum. Happens now and then.

OMG You can find everything on the Intarweb: http://www.tldm.org/news8/sovietelectromag...nitedstates.htm

New book coming out: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1846033780 Looks great. Covers the USAF's secret squadron that evaluated Soviet aircraft we acquired and apparently even flew them as adversaries to help train our front-line pilots. Got mine pre-ordered.

Its OK to pace yourself. Wouldn't want to burn out or anything...

I've had both brands over the years, but my personal experiences have always been better with nVidia. YMMV, but I've been running an 8800 GTS since they were released and its been great for TW sims and everything else.

The key as MJ says is not to use extreme angles and don't loft the missile too high.

It must have been recently, because he was on an episode of History's Mysteries filmed 7 or 8 years ago. It was on a couple of weeks ago, and was very interesting. The thrust of the show was questioning whether the actual shootdown occurred over international waters. There is no doubt that the 747 violated Soviet airspace twice, but the shootdown may have occurred just after it had exited their airspace for the second time. The show also revealed that US EC-135s were operating in the area that very night, and they looked at whether the Sovs could have possibly mistaken the 747 for a 135 (verdict: possibly, although the airliner was running with appropriate lights on). Anyway, its a good episode if you can catch it, and the Soviet shooter was interviewed.

Not a bad idea. The subject has been covered.

Good to avoid revisionism. Its well documented that Soviet electronic systems, including radars, missiles, ECM, etc. were inferior to their western counterparts, sometimes by a wide margin up into the 1980s. Eventually they started to produce some really deadly missiles, like the AA-11, but prior to that...crap. Still...the missiles were good enough to shoot down 747s.

I started in October 2002 with SFP1. My first skin was a VF-31 Phantom.

Sweet. Can't wait.

What is so weird about that?

Excellent!

Well I think upgrading the B-1B would be a good idea. Its an awesome plane. The only problem is there are not very many of them.

The program for which this was proposed was canceled. The USAF is now looking at having a new interim design in service by 2018... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Bomber

Russia to ban South Park due to singing Christmas terd. http://news.yahoo.com/story//nm/20080908/e...ia_southpark_dc

OK, it should be fixed now. The way I originally attached it, only admins could see it.

Is it not showing for you under Deuces pic? I can see it...

Of course! A-7A/B/P will be in the last batch of A-7s released. The Ds are up next.
