how long have you been playing this game?

my laptop is Vista...it sucks...Bill needed to make up the like $40 billion he gave away I guess...XP still rules in my opinion

oh realism...I frakkin love it when dudes whine about realism...how about you plan for literally hours, get briefed, fill out more paperwork than tax forms for like twenty years...more briefings...the frakkin weather guy did not show up again, so you have to find him...then maintenance tells you that 1607 has a leak that they cant find (how can you not find a leak...by definition it...never mind) then you finally taxi out (keep in mind you have not even begun to fly yet) and then #2 calls in with an FCR fail and Ops says they can not turn another tail before you loose your range time and weather is moving in anyway...rules say you cant leave him but he cant shoot. so you just lost 25% of your combat power before take off...but you are an A-type (actually you do not want to have to stand in the DO's office and explain why you turned around without even launching) and go anyway with him and his broke jet...but tower cant clear you because some jackass in a Cessna has wandered near the field and is not answering his damn radio...so you wait...finally, green light and you tap the IFF squawk because when you pass 5K it will already be too late and you need to keep looking for that damn Cessna anyway...two...three...damn...four had to abort with hot brakes...how did he even use the damn brakes? oh...he didnt...it was the leak that maintenance could not find...damn...so he switches to another tail and will be 7 minutes late...wait Ops said they could not turn another tail in time...oh they found one...where was it?...damn what does Center want now? What do you mean the other Squadron canceled? damn...the DO is already pissed...I feel it in the "Force"...there goes my OPR...well, I hear Finance is hiring anyway...wait...Moseley cut them to pay for the damn F-22...bet those guys dont get hot brakes...or FCR failures Four's off and gaining...now only four minutes late...look at that cloud...bigger than Kansas and not nearly as white...Hmmm...better tap that gauge again...nope...well...there it goes...wait...back again...two says the FCR cleared...then failed...whatever, maybe I should tell him that the other squadron CNX...naw, he will figure it out when they dont show up on radar...damn it! darkstar again...I HATE those guys...always get the guy that sounds like he is 12 and eating a sandwich...bet the Army doesnt put up with this...should be playing golf and drinking at the club like they always say we...what the hell is wrong now? Well at least there will be plenty of paperwork to do post RTB...

man...his job sucks...poor slob

- err...it is kind of in the name, eh? "Low-visibility" as in "difficult to see"... - there are rules in international conventions that say an airplane must be marked...just like soldiers must wear uniforms...

- no kidding! funny how Chuck Yeager once flew so low that it literally tore clothes from a line...and he is a hero...now if you fly within 10 miles of some damn poodle herder in the middle of frakkin Nevada you get a personal smack from the Wing King...think he would have better frakkin things to do

wait...who is on first?

I am very glad that you guys have been investing otherwise Moseley would have cut it completely...thanks!

that is what happens after Clinton reduced the fleet so much and then Bush sends the remnants to secure the far corners of the world, without building new plans think if Roosevelt had tried to fight the Japanese without spooling up production

- we could buy more mud hens...or even more Ramptors...I just do not know how we are going to pay for either

sweet

strange

I have actually flown the mighty T-37B...not underpowered...it is a frakkin trainer! You dont have your first kiss with a super model... And honestly dude...if you want to haul around the pattern and test flight dynamics, you may consider Flight Simulator like 2004...besides then you can practice instruments Not that the T-37 in SFP! isnt great, it is, and fun to boot! But if you start spatting "realism" then this is not the place, no insult at all to the modders as they have kept this game going in my book, but there is only so much one can do with the engine...heck there are no TACANs as far as I can tell

wait...who are the gun-loving losers?

- Search button can answer more details for you...

cool

maybe do something simple...and cheap...then if she complains that you did not spend any money on her...get out! trust me...my divorce was ugly

- dude...that looks better than the WOV payware one...seriously...could have saved myself $29.99

not to mention training never stops...you need to fly at least twice a week for the fast movers plus time in the tactics vault, exercises, and more studying oh, and sim time then lets talk about the damn paperwork...

- bet you a lot of money that the damn medals still do not show up in the pilot record

"Lobbying for new jets The disclosure of the cracks comes amid intense Air Force lobbying for the purchase of additional new fighter jets. The Air Force wants to replace its aging F-15s with 200 more F-22 Raptors beyond the 183 already approved by Congress and the Defense Department. Senior Defense Department officials have not agreed that the additional planes are needed or supported their purchase. The F-22s, which cost $132 million each, are manufactured by Lockheed Martin, a Bethesda-based firm." - by the way...you two that rolled your eyes and said I was out of line...I like Paulaner Beer and you can pm me for my mailing address

like any machine...its just needs money and love to fix it...unfortunately the USAF is now run by vain bean counters who do not want heroes nor icons...they would much rather buy 100 F-22 instead of 40,000 airmen, so how do you think they feel about a 30+ year old fighter? especially since Moseley is not a "true" fighter pilot...read his bio

the really sad part, speaking of Spitfires, is that 60 years from now, there will not be a flying Tomcat...it will be impossible since they are either gutted and skewered or crushed in order to prevent the Iranians from getting a piece so if there is a memorial flight program in the future, how sad that the only way we will ever watch Tomcats fly now is on TOP GUN with Tom Cruise

- will another machine ever look so simultaneously menacing, reassuring, powerful, and beautiful...it is the reason I wanted to fly as a boy - nothing, save the legendary Spitfire, can stoke the imagination like her...

i have eschewed the traditional American commercial glut that some mistakenly deem a religious holiday...dont know how it became a long line at Wal-mart, but either way I feel better for one less stress... do not trouble yourself with typing that I am a bad person for not believing in Santa Claus...I am actually very spiritual; hence, why I do not follow the American observation of the holiday
