Al Jazeera's been reporting he's dead for a while now, but it's been unconfirmed so far.

Being reported as we speak: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-10-20/libya-forces-capture-sirte/3581908

Swing and a miss. There is no C-5 designation in use, at least, not in regards to airlift. This was a mistake on the part of the official apparently...

It's a nice sentiment, but unfortunately, this isn't always the case.

Wow Widowmaker, I expected to see that kinda statement just... not from you. Nice. Very true too. Hey, didn't Stephen Colbert crunch the numbers and show that your vote (in the US) is worth something like 0.000094% or something along those lines?? I'm willing to bet things would be different if you had mandatory voting like we do here... Well, it's mandatory attendance. You just have to have your name ticked off at the polling station. From there you can chose to vote or leave and not vote.

No, it's not a local convention like Spain. They refer to their C-130s by that designation and the Nomads by their original N-22 designation. In fact, I'm pretty sure there aren't any local designators for their aircraft like that. It just seemed like an odd thing to say for an Air Force official.

Since when do they have a C-5? I didn't think there were any in service outside the USAF... http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?i=7643888&c=AIR&s=ASI Is this a mistake because it comes from a PAF spokesperson directly. It doesn't sound right...

There's a series of books called "Australians at War", one of them outlines RAAF operations in Vietnam (can't remember the exact name off the top of my head) and has some nice shots of the Mk.20. I'm pretty positive I've seen snapshots in it with at least 4 or more of those underwing hardpoints loaded along with the wing tip hardpoints. I'll see if I can find it at work tomorrow as my branch has a fairly decent collection of Australian military history books.

G.222 or C-27...???

Can't be 2115. I have over 2300 in one of my installs. And that's worked fine for years...

When you load them, are you trying to select them as a trio from the weapons drop down menu or are you loading them as a trio from the loadout.ini?

"We've logged his password!" "What is it?" "It's 1,2,3,4,5." "1,2,3,4,5? That's the password an idiot would have on his luggage!"

Here's a solid reason for not replacing manned aircraft with drones... Virus strikes US drone fleet

Try here dude. Su-47

I agree. He still thinks Great Britain is a leading world power. He is aware of the defence cuts that will ensure the UK will be a toothless tiger for the remainder of this decade and much of the next one, yeah? I mean, I know the Admiralty couldn't find their esteemed arses even after viewing a "How to find one's arse" tutorial video, but are we expecting too much of them by assuming the don't act like oafish, tactless dolts in public?

SO looking forward to this one... :good:

Oh jesus god no...

So would be on the East coast, yeah? If there's something in SA, I might be able to look it up for you.

If you're a true motorsports fan, you'd go see it at the Mountain...

I've been doing that for years. But I'm really digging this new Mi-24 though!

I've been making those for a a totally half arsed, and completely rushed Timeline-191 conversion for a while now. Although (aside from crappy skins and a lack of motivation to complete them) I could never decide on what I wanted to have each side flying. Two separate covers have B-17Gs flying for the USAAF and the CSAAF. I even made a version of the Confederate battle flag with the reds and blues swapped as described in the series. Yours look infinitely better than mine though, Wrench!

New game sends 'dangerous message' to journos What interested me about this was how this concept somehow crossed the line for some into "War Porn" yet the current COD series, Halo, Gears of War etc don't...? I mean if one of these concepts is going to desensitise, glorify or reward players in such a way as to produce tangible effects, I wouldn't have thought chronicling someone's story from a war zone would be it. Then again, there have been an increasing number of kids in my neighbourhood running around in khakis, light blue shirts and kevlar vests talking in British sounding accents lately...

Weren't the original max files lost or something?

Don't you use Tachyons to detect cloaked vessels?
