Is it true that if you go into the aviation field in the Navy, both Aviator and NFO, that you are not aloud [sic] to quote Top Gun or pull any of the non-flying stunts that they pulled in the movie such as the bar sequence without getting fined?........... https://fightersweep.com/4190/ask-a-fighter-pilot-are-top-gun-quotes-taboo/

This week two stories from different sides of the world reminded US air power advocates why achieving Air Superiority may be more difficult in the 21st Century than it was at the tail end of the last century. First, it was widely reported that China deployed indigenously produced modern long-range surface-to-air missiles (MLR SAMs) system, the HQ-9 (known is China as the hóng qí, or “red flag”) to Woody Island, a small land mass in the Paracel Islands claimed by China, Taiwan, and Vietnam. https://fightersweep.com/4116/modern-long-range-sams-new-threat-air-superiority/

The Five Maneuvers That Were Prohibited In The F-14 Tomcat LCDR Joe "Smokin" Ruzicka (Editor’s note: U.S. Navy flight veteran Lt. Commander Joe “Smokin” Ruzicka was the Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) to fly the last F-14 Demonstration before the Tomcat’s final demise in 2006. He’s here to tell us all about what not to do in one. —TR) http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/the-five-maneuvers-that-were-prohibited-in-the-f-14-tom-1757179036

The story of the only air-to-air kill achieved by the F-14 Tomcat during Operation Desert Storm. Even though the F-14 Tomcat scored only one air-to-air kill during the Gulf War in the form of an Iraqi Mi-8 Hip, that aerial victory has an important place among the air engagements because it represents the first helicopter shot down in combat by a U.S. aircrew. http://theaviationist.com/2016/02/06/f-14-shot-down-iraqi-mi-8/

If you now have 1.5 the modules have to be installed from within the game from what I have read....the standalone modules will no longer work (you would have had to download the modules again anyway they are old versions). If you cannot get them your purchase history should be there (if you are using the same account?).....if not you will obviously have to provide proof of purchase or similar when you contact ED to get the licenses. (You should at a minimum have kept the emails )

Been using 10 since it came out........I doubt the Enterprise version will have this update feature its purely to make 10 home more like a tablet OS for dummies ......businesses don't deploy updates the same way (or shouldn't be) You can still stop it updating Hardware drivers as before which I do.......also see here (includes a utility to hide updates) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 You can still view and uninstall updates from the programs and features as before I have updated 10 to the latest 10 build (think rebuild) and shock it actually kept all my apps and files in the right place (It just upgraded the NVIDIA drivers to the latest so had to install the older ones) - but all the app config was still there. Have even done the full reset on my tablet........again can keep all your settings.

A video from RT Looks like R-77s on one of them:

With the drama surrounding the potential retirement of the Fairchild Republic A-10C Thunderbolt II and the Lockheed-Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter’s viability as a replacement, Close Air Support (CAS) has become a hotly debated topic in military aviation. A mission that was relatively unknown to the general public prior to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, CAS has been around for over a hundred years. But what is it? What aircraft can do CAS? What does it look like from the aviator’s perspective? How about from the ground force’s perspective? .... https://fightersweep.com/3855/what-close-air-support-is-and-isnt-part-one/
