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...

Yeah I guess people were too busy looking at the flop-eared Eagle to notice a mighty dangerous airplane right there...

saw this one as well... And this provides a good opportunity to ask...is there a Mojave out there? Seems like there was one...

found an info source, so rocket-assist take-off and blown-flaps (giving a 25 mph reduction in approach speed) plus a search / track radar...sounds Gucci

Venture Brothers is awesome! Especially the evil scientist dude and his assistant with the baritone voice...

some airframes can lower their gear at higher speeds though...I had a boss who flew the -101B and they had to get the gear up shortly after rotation, but say the E-3 can lower its gear at least up to 400

"I will kill him!"

- "as a kid..."

Thanks! Did we bomb it? Which time? It was surreal going for a morning jog around that place...

Where at? I am in Okinawa...PM me for details

I remember reading that operation paper clip took some trophies to Wright-Pat, maybe that is the kernel of truth upon which lies begin?

glad that you enjoy it and what else have you tried?

congrats! dude if you combine your post here, at column5, simHQ, and the Don Ho Remembrance forum, you have shared your wealth of knowledge with quite an audience

granted, just saying that I always thought it was smaller, more svelte...it looks huge in this shot...

Not saying it isnt still used for something...maybe that is where they invented AFSO21...but the new-new test site is far away, and north...scuttlebutt is that "they" (always a "they/them") leaned on GoogleEarth and the like to co-operate

I do enjoy that movie though, one of my favorites, any genre...could be Ursula Andres in a towel though...

Dawn Patrol with Flynn and Rathbone was good entertainment also By the by, the movie Blue Max was more about class struggle, the book was more about flying...
