Maggie was a Brit through and through and like all British politicians, she was both loved and hated. There is no denying her impact on the UK. RIP from an outsider that admired her very much, but did not have to live under her internal policies.

Black humor is common in the military and takes the edge off. That's a good thing. My fellow pilot acting as my mobile officer used to ask me before he shut my canopy if he could have my stereo if I died today. Thank God he never got it.

This is all another cyclical thing from the North Koreans. Whenever their starving masses become restless, they rattle their sabers around, strut and puff, and act in a very belligerent manner. They are offered some more money and they calm down. I think that this time, President Obama doesn't have the money to up their check and they are just ranting and using whatever they can (sorta like a pouting child) to get what they want. It might be in their best interests to see what China really thinks about all of this before they become too rambunctious. Can you believe they have nuclear weapons?

Two words......energy state. If you got high energy state, go vertical nose high. Low energy state, go vertical nose low and get a higher energy state (if you have the altitude). Lots of flares and chaff to confuse the issue. MiGs will outturn you if you try to dogfight them.....so don't. Fly to your jet's strengths, not to the bad guy's strengths. If you are out of control of the situation, extend and re-engage later. Give your maneuvers time to take effect. Flailing away in the same spot just changes the enemy sight picture and not much else. You're still dog meat. My strongest advice is to not let the bad guy get in that position in the first place..............

Salute to real men at arms...................

Congrats on the new King. Not so much an American thing..........................

Not so much fun when they're hungry................

I think Typhoid hit it on the head. Was the F-22 worth it, I'll tell you when the smoke clears from the next time the US runs up against another tough air opponent.

I bet Putin didn't even read the message......attention elsewhere.

Old sailor, may God grant you smooth sailing and a fair wind. Thanks for your service.

Brings back memories of life in the front office...............

Just finished a rebuild myself: AMD 8-core running at 3.7 mhz Asus Sabretooth motherboard 32 Gig RAM 3 1 Terrabyte HDs NVidia 8800 GTX graphics card Liquid cooled cpu It smokes........................ Cost about $700.00.

Many a mission is where you'll see The Jug in his Thud searching weapons free Between the cloud covered Karst you'll see me slip Down from the west with Thud ridge on my hip Fast and low and into the fire My big metal steed can't afford much higher Alone with the rumble and whistle chasing me along Ghosts of heroes in my ears with a song For with them is always where I want to be Scooting along at less than 10 feet With ner but my eyeball and drifting smoke used for aim My Thud and I will deliver the pain When I am feet wet and my sweat dryer I'll lift my husky steed to realms a bit higher Returning home quiet with thoughtful repose I'll do it again as soon as I close

Thanks for the quick reply. I have the conversion instructions, but I cannot make the Viggen show up. Anybody got a complete download?

OK, for the dummy in the crowd, is there some how-to that will enable me to get the AJ-37 Viggen flyable in SF-2???

RIP and honorably join the long grey line.......

Bullets go bang, bombs go boom, and nukes go Ka-f**king-Boom. Wholesale urban renewal in one fell swoop!

Give me a break on the security stuff............ye know not what ye say!

Solution: legalize drugs.

Nice digs, guys. I need to work on my man-cave some more.............

Anybody heard the farting contest that was dreamed up by some Canadians on the way over to the WWII and recorded (audio) for posterity. I heard it once and nearly died laughing. I think the competitors were one Paul Boomer, Austrailian who trained all the way to the contest on a ship loaded with cabbage, and one Lord Windeshmear, who came to the contest attired in tights with an appropriate hole. The hole was decorated with fringe to enhance the visual effects. The contest platform was about 12' X 12' with a pole in the center for the contestant to grip while straining away. The audio was a pretend BBC announcer who announced the event in the same style as one would expect from a tennis match. I shall never hear a good real fart without thinking about classifying it as a little 'freep' or a resounding 'fundesbreak'. I am chuckling just thinking about it.

My daughter does make-up and special effects in Hollywood and she recently did some makeup on Ozzie. In conversations with Ozzie while they were working, she discovered that Ozzie is about as far right-wing as you can get (close to the other side of Attila the Hun). Go figure................

All this potent stuff, brave men in powerful machines to deliver it, never lost a battle, and no political will to win the war! Vietnam was a sad disaster. The sadest part was the treatment of returning veterans.
