  1. strange
  2. 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
  3. wait...who are the gun-loving losers?
  4. - Search button can answer more details for you...
  5. cool
  6. 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
  7. - dude...that looks better than the WOV payware one...seriously...could have saved myself $29.99
  8. 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...
  9. - bet you a lot of money that the damn medals still do not show up in the pilot record
  10. "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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. - 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...
  14. 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
  15. my favorite is when people say we dont need an AF because they arent doing anything! How quickly they forget...what about Kosovo? Where was the Army then? You cant look at your watch and determine national policy...resist the microwave-instant gratification mentality so prevalent in modern American and think long term (which, is not a setting on a microwave oven, by the way) cheers
  16. It depends on the job is right...my tour ended up being 9 months living with the Army. The Marines I knew were doing 7-month tours, not 16...and not all of the Army is doing 15 either, and by their own account, still less than half of the Army has been in sand other than the beach...here on Okinawa well over 90% of the Army dudes have slick right sleeves, and you know what that means
  17. - in multiplayer my problem was some Belgian keep shooting holes into my airplane
  18. - its not a myth! - and Elvis lives!
  19. sweet...lets put some battletechs in too for good measure
  20. Hey, "Prey" finally came out...though it looks like it was done on time and they just waited 8 years to sell it...so maybe Duke Nukem will come out!
  21. sign of the times I guess
  22. - there was an older game...Wings of Glory...I liked it a lot...if you can not find it in "print" let me know
  23. how did airwolf ever take off with Borgnine's eyebrows?
  24. B-1 looks like B - ONE, hence "bone"...only the sexiest, coolest bomber ever! not really a bomber, more like a fighter in the Arnold class...
  25. - you did a YAK-38 also?!?! dude I need to chat with you!
