Rather in the vein of what the PRC was doing with some of its MiG-19 types...converting them into UAV-lites...no doubt the intent

Ooo...nice

For me, I was satiated when they FINALLY made the "theatrical" 1977 release...you know, Han shot first...man I watched that part over and over, vindicated...

By far my favorite was the one (forgot the name) in the style of "Cops" but with a Stormtrooper...I always wondered what really happened to Uncle Owen...

In that case I want to declare WonderBra Day...

- "I have KOTOR2 but have never finished it." Do yourself a favor and keep it that way...the first 70% of the game is awesome, then the last bit is worse than if I wrote/coded it... I liked Republic Commando for on line as it was so easy to jump in and have a go But I prefer SWBF2 over just about any other of its genre if for no other reason than: "Lord Vader has entered the battlefield"...and then he does stuff like slaughter bots rather than just stand there, which is helpful

yeah like the post office and the R2D2 mail boxes...dont know why the Feds are so interested in Star Wars of late...

what is the deal with House Lucas lately? I mean werent they the Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle guys? Now what?

Reading it now...bit different from Path of Destruction, but still so far/so good

No, please...tell me more...

- Let me try Nishida's stuff...

helping paying for and operating are different

Simple...the USAF brass hates the A-10...period, dot...yes, real people love it and it just keeps proving itself (dont start flaming, I love the A-10, let us talk about fast mover politics and getting away from an Army support role)...so no way the post-modern USAF will pay $ to keep fulfilling a mission it feels it should not have to do, especially since the Army basically tried to force the USAF to keep doing it in a manner of speaking by abandoning their Comanche project. Nothing does CAS or FAC-A better than a Hawg...nothing...but those arent priority missions for a USAF that cant field sufficient numbers of F-22A...and if you read another post, you will see that nearly the entire USAF fleet has some potentially crippling issues. Focus, it is not about what is best for the job, it is about what we can pay for, priorities, and politics...if the Army wants a CAS bird so bad, they can help pay for it, Airmen dont need CAS (Sandy's, yes, CAS, no) but bullet catchers do

heck, I just douse them with the proton torpedoes to bring their engines down, then hit them with the ION cannon to take their shields down...

eh, I had a boss who flew the double ugly, the WB-57, and F-101B (plus some other stuff like C-123 back when the USAF let dudes fly many different types over the course of their career, even the non-test dudes)...he recanted how the F-101B was so fast that as you rotated you bumped the gear handle because she would peel her own gear doors off soon after that... then you have a beast like the -135 family whose gear speed (to include doors) are stressed higher than the max speed of the airframe...of course that was the old Boeing...who still remembered making B-17's...

I see a red door...

Who, Jerry Brown? I remember reading that when Ursula Andress was in Dr. No, she had to be dubbed because her accent was to thick...thats OK...

I remember watching a Discovery Wings program on it (same series of programs that had the -104 and -105...man why cant Discovery still do that instead of Monster garage?)...it was beyond sweet...I think they had a tunnel through the bomb bay and a sled to ride it through...but dont quote me as its been quite a while since I saw that show, and unlike the history channel which would be happy to sell you a DVD of them selling you a DVD, Discovery sucked at archiving their programs...man the Wings of the Red Star program still makes me...uh...excited

and it had TEN engines...I mean 6 turnin and 4 burnin...wasnt it called "aluminum overcast" or something to that effect?

Yep...but I was using the "search" button to try to correct this...Not all airplanes have the 250 limit

OK...had to look up who Jerry Brown was...

Thailand is OK...but Singapore will make you a man...and the back alleys of Hong Kong...oh man! Thailand gets a bad rap from people who think New Orleans is a good time...trust me, one could find a whole lot more stuff that people wont believe in the places I mentioned...man a trip to Malaysia and places like the legendary "Alaskan Bush Company" are kindergarten. Oh, and dont forget Guam (especially since they import European "talent" there). Plus, the HIV rate is so frakkin high you might as well be in Africa...wait a minute... Since you didnt PM me, figure you have all that you think you need...good luck and hope you have fun.

those bladders are annoying me...why so much rust-looking stuff on them? man somebody is going to get fired I tried the payware one, personally I liked Ito-san's better...

C5, is that somehow tied to the variable incidence wing?

USAFMTL w/cheese and no onions, I like how a spoof post has gone on for two pages now...
