- 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

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

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

- in multiplayer my problem was some Belgian keep shooting holes into my airplane

- its not a myth! - and Elvis lives!

sweet...lets put some battletechs in too for good measure

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!

sign of the times I guess

- there was an older game...Wings of Glory...I liked it a lot...if you can not find it in "print" let me know

how did airwolf ever take off with Borgnine's eyebrows?

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...

- you did a YAK-38 also?!?! dude I need to chat with you!

sad, but too true

funny...they have no problem restarting their programs...and by the way...the US is the ONLY nuke-country that can not build a new nuke right now...know what that means? so dont "poor me", dude

wager on that?

- but will any of us be left by then? he cut 22,000 a couple of years ago and is fast approaching his 40,000 more cuts...then when one guestimates how many will jump once the full impact of loosing 70,000 brothers hits and the TDY-rate continues to climb...it is going to be 1996 all over again - I like his "focus on fitness" despite his bulbous frame - How about the stupid new dress blues, all after he insisted on having a poll, then took the 2% option (basically he chose what he wanted even though a full 98% polled did not like it)

cool, man

- its still neat to see them out and about again

now that is dedication!

- I really do not think it will be in two weeks since everyone seems to be awaiting the arrival of the WOI...

dont forget...Moseley still has 2 years remaining...just compare things McPeak did to what Moseley has done (then if not convinced, add in things he was blatantly stopped from doing like turning ACC in the "King Command" with all other commands working for it) he just needs to rename Reg's from AFI to something equally ghey and go ahead with his MAJCOM plan and the two could be clones...except for Moseley's gut that looks like he his hiding Alaska

good point on F/A-18...the old F-15E by Janes was good as well, also very realistic if you like mudslinging

free or payware? doesnt say beside it

i order them to rtb post launch...this heretofore was fixed way back in patch 2...now apparently unfixed
