Still loving it! Those Kiwi birds are killer!

...you listen to porn with only French guys grunting?? Hey, no judgements!

My old unit's motto seems apt: Nec aspera terrent - Difficulties be damned. Nice job fellas.

They mostly flew with the RAF 3 colour roundel up until then and I've seen these in artwork having them under wing, but most of what you'll find is with the white roundel. I think I have some snaps somewhere. I'll see if I can dig 'em up. But hadn't they already started transitioning them to the white roundel from around that time?

Christ...

Awww... No Australia? jk That is an epic series of skins though, bravo!!

Manual .cfg edit...?

This is the problem we'll be having with this platform. We'll be expecting it to perform the 3000km penetrating strike role, only, it doesn't have the legs it's predecessor had, so it'll have to carry tanks and require one outgoing and one incoming top up, meaning our tankers will need to be moved forward, meaning it'll need the associated cover, meaning more tankers will be needed, and so on... This isn't the fault of the design, only the thinking behind selecting this over something like the Mudhen that was designed for the task. The irony about that decision (and for this goes for the F-22, not that the MoD here had any serious notions of actually trying to buy it) is that purchasing an advanced model Strike Eagle was rejected here, officially, on grounds of cost (too expensive to purchase and maintain) yet the F-35 we're buying is going to cost (approx) 130% more, per aircraft and about 3 times as much in maintenance and won't be able to perform as originally intended (Stealth or functionality rather than stealth AND functionality). The former Air Vice Marshall, LM lobbyists and the previous government's choice not to go ahead with a tender process (thanks again LM!) really f***ed us on this one. We could counter potential regional threats without pissing money away on platforms like this by having the right tool for the right job, unfortunately, our MoD, Government and RAAF leadership are full of tools, just not the right ones.

I thought the one in 99 was bigger? This was an EF4, that one was a EF5 going by what's being said on the news here. Either way, devastation is still devastation and they got hit hard!

Hell yeah!

Ooh! Dunno why, but this and the Gannet were so ugly, yet I loved seeing both of them in action. It's prolly got something to do with that rule of something ugly generally being the most functional.

Yep, that's the one (as well as the AMI tanker). And it was Veltro's, not Dels'.

I was thinking load shift at the time I was watching it. Two distinct accidents I've seen (one involving a C-2A, another with an An-12) that have really stuck in my memory played out in almost identically... just gut wrenching stuff!

If one of those packs is the North Korean Modern Warfare campaign, that's a mod of Del's 767. I know at least the Wedgetail was. I don't recall ever having seen a specific 737 for this series thus far.

Long live the King!

One's been tagged, other's still on the loose. Did this have anything to do with MIT or the drive by with grenades?

Top Gun? You mean that volley ball movie...?

Crap, I never notice the E in AGM-84E. D'oh!

The standard reaction here is usually "Only a Skyhawk?? That's a Kahu buddy! Don't you ever forget it!"

Feminists aren't really known for being whores though. Quite the opposite in fact... They kinda have issues with the 'whole disempowering of women thing'.

Are you sure? It's CGR in mine...
