I live outside the US. Am I still eligible to enter the draw and win the Thrustmaster Cougar? If yes, do I've to pay for the shipping and handling to my country or is the shipping and handling free? Thanks.

Striker,

Did you've difficulty standing and walking upright after a few rounds in the G-Loc? Some players have known to become "drunkards"!

Sega R360 G-Loc

Anyone remember playing this arcade game back in the '90s? It featured a 360 degree rotational system to enhance the realism of flying. I suppose it can be adapted for computer flight simulations too, but nobody has attempted it as of today.

Saitek and Thrustmaster seem to be two likely candidates to sponsor such an event if it were to actually take place. Another possibility would be a flight sim company.

Having a coalition air show would be massive. It would comprise an international cast of the best aerobatic teams in the world. Imagine the Red Arrows or the Russian Knights going head to head with the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels. 8)

Virtual Thunderbirds & Virtual Blue Angels

Has the VTB and VBA ever considered flying together simultaneously? That would be one heck of an aerial display!

American Fighter Pilot/ Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag

These two reality show/ documentary have been released on DVD. I've read quite a number of positive reviews on them.

I didn't know that they flew the oldest planes in the USAF inventory. I'm curious as to whether those new conformal fuel tanks on the F-16 E/F will affect their maneuverability. :?:

F-16E Block 60

Will the real Thunderbirds be using the F-16E block 60 as their demonstration plane?
