Speaking of Top Gun...

http://news.yahoo.com/tom-cruise-fly-last-manned-fighter-jet-top-154601629.html I guess it is too much to ask the USN to supply a squadron of F-35s these days. Expect a CGI-fest. (Hope he doesn't sing!) Maybe we should think of some titles? Top Gun 2 -The return of Goose's Ghost! Top Gun 2 - He's i...

I flew the Kai Tak approach many times and in geometry it is very similiar to the Canarsie. The difference is the scenery including the harbor, the mountains and the living rooms you could look into during the turn.

Thanks LD and all. With regards to the stick movement on the Brazilian guys vid, I think what is happening there is that he has sped up the video a bit. One of the effects of the 170 degree FOV is that it creates the visual illusion that the aircraft is travelling quite slowly. Most of the scenes in...

I went to Base Operations and asked what I needed to do to get clearance for a photo pass. If you needed photos why didn't you just do what Striker did to me? Simply leave a foreign national alone with no pass and a camera standing under the tail of an F-15 in the middle of the apron at Kirtland? S...

Black screen of death

Hi guys, I am having a prob with my desktop. It is a Win7 machine. I recently updated my graphics drivers to play BF3 and started getting an intermittent black screen after the Windows screen... The 4 colours thing. The screen is just black with everything suggesting the computer is working. Now the...

"Bank Angle!"
"Terrain!"
"Stall...Stall!"

They couldn't get away with that in any Air Force I know of.

Great demonstration though! (Pretty sure that all the Hercs I know of have a 60 degree bank angle limitation...)

Falcon was the REAL reason I convinced my wife we needed to buy a $2400 XT all those years ago. Fortunately I also acquired a version of TETRIS for it... which she still thinks is cool! "Lock-On" to excitement. A vision of the future maybe? I didn't know your Grand-dad was a P-38 pilot LD. The only ...

Eerily similar to Kevin Davis's crash in 07. GLOC or birdstrike is my on the spot-totally uninformed-snap opinion.

First Reds fatality since 1978. :(

I thought it was great. I have let a few members of the Black Arrows know about it and will let you know of any feedback I get.
