Honestly, If the seals didn't have enough time to destroy the rest of that stealth helicopter, why couldn't the military have hit it with a missile strike from a drone? I can't believe there were no drones in the area.

Did you know that you can land a C-130 on an aircraft carrier? Unassisted in 1963.

3 of the 4 are in Battlefield 2. That is the only reason I recognized them.

You are Right, AIX had the KA-50. edit: and the AH-2. So it looks like I probably played with all these choppers through BF2 or one of the BF2 mods. _firehawk fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jun 7, 2011 |

I was a big fan of Red Storm Rising, also microprose. Back when games were so complicated they came with keyboard overlays.

Google Reverse image search brings back a book cover. Perhaps a really bad photoshop Job. However I am guessing the book cover image was originally from somewhere else. I have to chuckle at the Seapower in the Air power thread though. http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415622622/  edit: It looks like we aren't the only ones who noticed either. http://www.navytimes.com/news/2012/09/navy-russian-warships-displayed-dnc-veterans-tribute-091112/ _firehawk fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Sep 13, 2012 |

A long while ago refuling photo's were posted. Included was our favotite A-10. I seem to have found a video (the end clip) to go along with it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It51u8OgDnM In addition I saw this posted up there as well. The refuling of a B-2. It seems kind of ghostly how it comes in from the clouds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5UR9FReNuY

sausage paddy posted:That P-51 picture would have at least made sense with an F-22. smh I see a spitfire. What do you see again? It does make sense to have a British Spitfire with a British F35 seeing as it was developed in part with the British. Since they don't fly any F-22's, why should they get their spitfire to take a picture with one?

The Harrier has 5 Barrels But Yes I know he was referring to the 20mm. Hell the F35 went back to 4 barrels.

Are you asking what would typically be the go to answer for the majority of tfr's members? If so, the A-10 receives a lot of praise here. Mostly because of you know, the gun.

An interesting cold war b-52 wreckage anniversary is coming up. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the wreckage was just left there. I would imagined extraction would be difficult. http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/article/Fateful-Maine-flight-salvaged-B-52s-50-years-ago-4190379.php#page-1

I miss Microprose and their strategy games. I used to play Red Storm Rising all the time. I actually tried to play it on my Nexus on the plane. I quickly realized I needed a real keyboard. Not the ghost keyboard offered by dosbox.

Did they really justify axing the A-10's in favor of the F-35 to save money? Do they know how much money they continue to spend on the F-35?

There is a local small Airshow today in Cincinnati. They have a B-17 that you can take a ride on. I am sure its not cheap to take a ride. But I would love to do it.

I would love to have a picture hung in my office with bear intercepts over the years. Showing the evolution of U.S. interceptors and the bears remaining relatively unchanged.

To get this back on an airpower track I spent the past week in Chicago for work. On more than one occasion I saw V-22 ospreys buzzing around and I would have to say the are quite impressive in flight.

So the Baseball All-star game was in Cincinnati Last night. They had some F/A-18 Super Hornets do a fly over and they parked them overnight at the Airport. I happened upon them when I got to work this morning. Good day indeed.

So this is awkward. It looks like the continued existence of ISIS is keeping the A-10's flying until 2022.

I got to take my kids to the grand opening of the new building 4 at the National AF museum this past weekend. I have always loved going there and they enjoyed it as well. I never saw the YF-23 in person. But I would say it is a fine looking aircraft. I almost like its looks better than the F-22 that was also there.  But really this is what made my day.
