  2. "It's an amazing game-changer," said Maj. Gen. Tim Crosby about the new Apache. Crosby, the Army's program executive officer for aviation, went on to say during a press conference that no other helicopter in the world could match the Apache Block III. The new attack helicopter has a stronger engine, improved avionics, better computer-networking capability and increased maneuverability when compared to current Apaches, officials said. The Block III Apache features a 701D engine, composite rotor blades, a "Rotorcraft Drive System of the 21st Century" known as RDS-21, Face Gear Transmission and High Performance Shock Strut advanced landing gear. "It's like flying an Appaloosa stud," said Lt. Col. Dan Bailey, Apache Block III program manager, who said he had experience as a youth breaking horses. "This aircraft is so much faster and stronger than anything we've had in the past," Bailey said. Game Changer or just Game enhancer?
  3. Freak accident indeed! - thats unbelievable RIP
  4. New Book...

    Same authors wrote these that I have: If the book covers anything on other jets in the conflict that would be useful MiGs, Su's / Tupolevs / F-5s
  5. Have photos with these: MK83s 500LB Box Fin 1000LB Box fin rocket pods MK24 flares M117 MK77 mod1 550LB Napalm (1 photo of) MK54 350Lb depth bombs
  6. Its getting there I would say: Then can you show a front on view please - looks like the nose will need reshaping from that aspect also

  9. Three of my favourite things

    Excellent - havent seen those before
  10. Forgot this - notice how the bottom frame of the canopy is shaped - its not a straight line but curved:

  14. 1. Well done - do you have a side on image with the canopy closed? 2. the top seemed straighter:

  16. Does the front of the CFTs need to be a bit higher? Also the air intake front might need a reshape
  17. Probably easier to do a single model I suspect - for the record though they dont always wear them F-16E Block 60:
  18. Only the Block 60s have AESA (AN/APG-80) - and maybe any Block 70 would have had. The Block 50/52 has AN/APG-68 versions currently until any future SLEP How does the model look without the CFTs?
  19. YAP2

    No YAP 1 and 2 were for WOV only I understand YAP 3 will be for SF2V If you like the historical side they are ok - they are not meant to be played as a game though. There are issues with some of the mods used that I wont go into.
  20. In this the Diamond probably signifies the TEWS has classified the signature as a priority target. You will only see this display on post 1978 jets - the older ones will have a basic vector RHAW scope.
  21. Popular AVIATION movies you've watched and liked!

    Air Force 1 anyone? Yes Top Gun is actually pretty good - one of the stronger Hollywood offerings IMO
  22. Paragliding looks like fun

    This guy was lucky - so was the bird..... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-15554333
  23. This might be coming with the vastly improved F-16C model:
  24. Thats a great job by the pilot - truly amazing
