Thunder flashes? Love 'em.

Flying the Buccaneer by Peter Caygill is an excellent resource for those interested in this aircraft. http://www.amazon.com/FLYING-BUCCANEER-Britains-Cold-Warrior/dp/1844156699/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1318034249&sr=8-2

His leadership of Apple certainly led to fantastic products. RIP.

IIRC that is Sony's skin.

Congratulations to ravenclaw and team--it looks amazing and I can't wait to try it out!

This story has already been done in a great movie starring Laurence Fishburne: The Tuskegee Airmen

Uhm, pardon me but when that BUFF starts its engines those Apaches are going to be cartwheeling all over the ramp...

I just finished reading 15 Minutes by Douglas Keeney. Its a very worthwhile read for anyone interested in the USAF, SAC, or the Cold War in general. The book does not have a narrative so to speak, it recoutns a number of interrelated events from the 1940s to the 1970s involving SAC and American nuclear policy during the period. Many of these are fascinating but for me the most enlightening was the story of the Texas Towers. These were a series of air defense radar stations mounted on towers akin to oil rigs stationed in the Atlantic. The amount of effort that went into designing, deploying and maintaining these installations is staggering, and all to gain a few precious minutes of additional warning of a Soviet attack. Unfortunately, the story of these towers ends in tragedy, and the link below gives a good account: http://www.thetexastowers.com/

I'm very interested in working on an NF5 when the game makes its next evolutionary leap forward. TK is always reserved when he talks about his future plans, and his latest posts don't give much insight into what the future holds.

Thanks guys! PS - Damn Crab is old!

Happy birthday, Ken! One more done! ;)

Maybe it it was added by the crew in an update while I was gone.

There should not be a Mirage 2000 in stock NF. That must have come from some other mod...

Congrats, G!

Magnificent work!

Interestingly, a new driving sim will be incorporating some of the OP's ideas: http://www.testdriveunlimited2.com/ In addition to the driving portion of the sim, you'll be able to set up your house (mansion, really) complete with incredible garage as well as your out-of-car avatar. In the online portion of the game, you can invite people over to your house to hang out before or after engaging in multiplayer racing events. Its a very cool concept.
