  1. Very impressive detail, Sundowner - I've only just scratched the surface of all the many layers of effort that went into this undertaking. All one would need for total immersion is an aroma machine that generates the effects of high humidity laced with Diesel fumes and the smell of cattle dung. Haven't seen an 82-footer from Coast Guard Squadron One on any of the small rivers yet, but I'm still looking!
  2. Phase Two offers 26 missions divided in two episodes (Solomons and Coral Sea), plus all of the 37 missions in Phase One (Oahu, Wake, Force Z and Burma), for a total of 63 historically accurate combat missions. Also contains updates and upgrades made on aircraft, cockpits, avionics, weapons, decals, ships, briefings and terrains. Free to download at https://www.yap-revamp-works.com/rising-sun-rw/
  3. Interesting story from Business Insider e-zine: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-pilot-dodged-missiles-extreme-turns-during-middle-east-mission-2025-12

  4. Seen this before - could it be G-8's old nemesis is back?
  5. Yes, there are others available, but I've always been a fan of the "low and slow" FE2 simulation...
  6. ...the pattern is full! (82nd Flight Group, Italy, 1945). Ran across this pic while searching for something else...

  7. Here's an idea - scale it to 27' long, paint it yellow, and attach it to the underside of a B-17. Then, add three parachute packs to the aerial lifeboat, some fancy stripes and service lettering to the aircraft and you have a U.S.C.G. PB-1G :
  8. From those of your oldest and continuous seagoing service, Happy Birthday, America!
  9. Snipped this article off of AvWeb this morning - details how Marine aviator flying an AV-8B off of USS Bataan has collected seven drone kills. https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/red-sea-drone-attacks-create-first-american-ace-in-50-years/?MailingID=FLY240214002

    This aircraft is now up for bid, starting at $10,001. See link below for interesting video snipped from AvWeb this morning. Naval aviators should especially note carrier operations without arrestor cables and catapults, all courtesy of the colanda effect. Even more amazing, this NASA project was finished ahead of schedule and under budget by an outside contractor...
  11. Great stuff on this site - just like a trip down Memory Lane!
  12. I've used DHL (I think they call it Parcel Connect) for large boxes. Not sure if they handle pallets, but it's a start...
  13. I've heard Beef Chow Mein is their specialty...
