    Nice, Stephen1918, just like The Old Days™ - model and decals work right out of the box and it's fun to fly, especially with a little too much input when you are too close to the hard deck!

  1. Interesting video with Combat Search And Rescue footage and information:
  2. Great stuff, Major Bloodnok - thanks for posting, but they look like 50-years-old RAF recruiting videos to me! The second one is equally as good, showing RAF Hercules C.1's and Sikorsky S-55 / Westland Whirlwind units during insertion training exercises.

  4. Neat video, GKABS - thanks for posting! Unfortunately, at 3:41 it also documents what appears to be a 1958 Edsel Roundup station wagon (today a fairly rare showcar) ending up as collateral damage! Trailing for your interest...
  5. Interesting video about E-7 Wedgetail, E-2D Hawkeye, and Space Force surface-tracking satellite options.

  6. For Wrench - just in case you wondered who those guys with the black jet skis were when you were looking out your back window over Coronado Beach... https://www.dvidshub.net/video/993668/us-coast-guard-conducts-jet-ski-training-offshore-san-diego
  7. 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!
  8. 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/
  9. Interesting story from Business Insider e-zine: https://www.businessinsider.com/us-pilot-dodged-missiles-extreme-turns-during-middle-east-mission-2025-12

  10. Seen this before - could it be G-8's old nemesis is back?
