Thought the same : didn't the pilot do some pre-flight tour?

Wow, they improved since I was there... I saw them MiG-23 fly back in 2007-8 when I worked in Tripoli, and they were far from impressive in an airshow. Quite clumsy and straightforwardy flight back then. I guess they are now battle hardened...

The 2199 remake is just plainly awesome. Best anime/space opera anime I ever saw.

One has to read something different about Dutch/Belgian in 1815. French sources are all in the usual pro-french bullshit where everyone is happy to see Napoleon and willing to desert to him. English sources claim the Belgian/Dutch to be coward. Belgian/Dutch sources are way more moderate. And their role at Quatre-Bras was essential in allowing Waterloo. http://www.levif.be/actualite/belgique/waterloo-1815-les-belges-pris-entre-deux-feux/article-normal-401337.html Blatant insults indeed. This was way past joke. I could do the same while figuratively pissing on Yanks Nam or Irak veterans' graves. (ahaha, Saigon! Ahahah! Tet! Ahahaha! Mogadischu) Won't do it, though. And by the way, we lost way more wars than the very secondary Mexico expedition. I could do a list, a truer one. We lost scores, but never because of bad soldiering but crappy planning. Left Mogadischu and Somalia nonetheless. My above point exactly.

Remind me how the yanks were ass-kicked by hungry goat-fucking somalis? Worse than Mexican insurgents. Way worse.

And now I want someone to stuff some fancy reactor in the back and make it flyable.

Well, most French are sadly brit-o-phobics. I am personnally not. We are best pals since the 1830's and some of my countrymen are forgetting WW1 and the Somme.

Won't say anything about 1814 and 1815. We have been freed from a bloodthirsty tyrant by the Allies.

Oh my...

That's a big pile of bullshit. And now, I'll joke on the U.S. and U.K. vets and watch the yanks and the brits lose their minds.

Any plan for French, Belgian, Dutch squadrons?

That's a good read, thanks.

That must be islamophobic to bomb them... Where the heck is the western world headed?

Kikka!

IMHO, it would be between The Road Warrior and Thunderdome. But I guess it's quite blurry because it's a reboot, sort of. It seems that they decided to ignore the Mad Max timeline.

Well, this is Deviantart, you can also found pics of a C.S.A. airforce. I tend to be quite sceptic when it comes to deviant art.

So do I.

En s'écartant ! (moving away) Otherwise you say "taking the (politcal) party's card" ;)

It actually says "DO NOT open the door UNLESS it's for the test" or a more litterate translation : Open the door only for the test/for testing. Ouvrir is the "to open" verb. But le N' is a "ne explétif" not a negation "ne pas" contracted. That's where Google translated failed to see the difference. And as a french for foreigners teacher, I must say it's a pain to explain to non-native speakers. Have you seen the "et en s'écartant" between "Briser la glace" et "Appuyer sur le bouton" ?

Raining down harpoons on the Soviet fleet.

I want this so much. Perhaps as much as a remake of the good old Aces of the Pacific 1946. For those who know them, it's so Blake & Mortimer's "Secret of the Swordfish" http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-moxlCv5jb_U/VA-RSe82mBI/AAAAAAAAGxE/JYKUo68h8H0/s1600/Secret_Swordfish_1.jpg

AFAIK, yes. Your only warning will be the radio messages.

. May he found peace flying with The Man Above.

She is a beauty!
