Fine - but you screw up just this much - you'll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber Eels out of Iran!

Or is it because you are Dangerous?

Well he needs 100+ days leave after every mission - those girls in Tahiti get lonely!

Happy new year to you! Strange I spent most of last Thursday / Friday moaning about having to be in work - guess I had nothing to moan about compared to you. Although that diet seems more preferable to going to the sodding gym Hope it turns out okay

Should do - but depends - if you destroy a SAM site and then your next mission after that is a week later then it will probably be there again.

Pretty normal with 2D clouds - happens in some other sims also - fix? maybe 3D clouds

Very Happy new year to everyone :drinks: :drinks: :drinks: Glad to see the back of 2011!

Well base my steaming puddings!

Happy Christmas to all where ever you may be :drinks: :drinks:

You seen how much fuel the single engine F-35s carry internally - you want more range then you will probably be looking to purchase B-2s! You might find that Stealth also comes in handy for air defence as well - why let them know you are coming! Gen 4 is obsolete - pretty sure when the F-22s wipe the floor with everything 4th Gen in training scenarios its not airframe or kinetic performance that's giving them the massive advantage.

Any ATX-D this side of 2025 and I will eat this desk - Japans only real 5th Gen Fighter will be the F-35 for now.

By far the best adaptation of A Cristmas Carol IMO :yes:

The F-35 is superior to all 4th Gen fighters - name another that can fly Mach 1.6 with a usable combat load? Its agility seems to stack up to a clean FA-18 based on pilot quotes - if so thats pretty good Acceleration - supposed to be clean block 50 F-16C Actually beng designed as a stealth fighter means it is far more survivable than any legacy jet against a real Air Defence. Against an enemy with no AD it can still carry a good external stores payload. The A/C have very good combat radius / range - which they can fly clean in most cases. Now add computing capability that other jets inclduing the F-22A can only dream of like EODAS to the mix and you have a pretty useful striker. There are even 3 different versions for different roles.

.

Real Life accuracy? AFAIK - the pilot fired the Bullpup then manually steered it to the target with a joystick - whilst flying the same route behind it! - nice target for gunners.

Just another month isn't it?

Seem to remember an unmanned F-106A perform a similar landing many years ago in the snow.

The lack of damage suggests it either landed itself, or was landed by the Iranians, or Iran just built a big model. Can speculate forever but really cant rule out Iran using the EM spectrum to bring this down. Maybe complacency - flying the same routes (seems familiar) - flying lower and lower because there is no threat.........maybe some bloke watches it fly over his house every day.............

Really sorry to hear Mak

Cool

Nice - probably why TK likes to stay in charge - he can only be sacked by...........himself....that might be good enough reason to put up with all the ****

I'm just going to buy it for the floating seagoing Comms building targets

Depends how you define Fighter - I was going to say the only thing I could think of in service was the AR-4 Fightinghawk - but I still dont regard that as a fighter.
