Is SE misbehaving again?! We will not release anything until it's done, but that doesn't mean there won't be a trailer sometime before...

Oh, btw... I think it's our movie!

To see a glimpse of some of the maneuvers we're recording for our next movie take a look in our Image Gallery on our website! We'll continue to upload pics there every now and then...

Most recent additions (at time of writing) include the Diamond Pass in Review and the Diamond Roll.

lieutfunaki,

There will always be people who ask questions, contribute, argue or just feel they need to say something for the heck of it, reason or no reason. You can decide for your self which category some of the previous posts fall into.

Glad to hear you got 1.1 up and running!

Ok, here goes... A few Qs off the top of my head: 1. What exactly does the "Let's hack now" call involve when it comes to the solos? (Timing...)? 2. Setting up for the sneak pass and burst through on the High-BB. What technique is used to climb after the Opposing 4-point, turn around, dive and hit 0...

For anyone interested, I'd just like to pass along some great Thunderbird DVD and book recommendations. Reach for the Sky IMO, the best Thunderbird DVD incl. the entire Nellis airshow with complete radio calls and in-cockpit footage as a bonus along with the hour long documentary and behind the scen...

Lock-On only features the Crimean peninsula.

I'll 2nd what Burner said, but it's definitely easier said than done! If everyone went back to when they first started flying formation, I'm sure we all had cramped up fingers and a deathgrip on the stick. Now, like Burner says, it's more relaxed (the way it ought to be) and that's really something ...

You'll be even more tired and so will your throttle pot be after an hours worth of practice with us! Re-defining the term "white knuckles" would be an understatement!

I know SilentEagle likes it, but we normally fly with the mini-HUD disabled since the majority of us find it distracting...

Personally I fly tighter without it, since all I'm focused on is what's outside the aircraft and the relative motion between myself and lead (if I'm in formation).

Norm, We are the ones honored by what you and your fellow Thunderbirds do and have done for us! We take pride in trying to model our flying as closely as possible using you and all the other current and past Thunderbirds as our measurement stick! Reading your post here is quite frankly more than awe...

We have a new flash image gallery on our site! It's located in the Image section of the Library. Take a look (it's still beta as we're making some adjustments to it). Now, doesn't this just make you want to fly!? 8) As long as you have a 24Kb/s download or better (high-speed) you'll also get to list...

If you would have read the two topics up top (sticky), then you can fill in the blanks there and we'll get in touch shortly.

Read your resume and looked at the screenshots (both the ones you posted here and on your website)! :wink: Looks very promising! ...the time difference might be the downfall for you flying with us and your right about irregular schedules working for an airline. We still manage to fly (about half of ...

Made a few updates to the FAQ on our site. It now explains briefly how to and in which order to install the mod. Every pilot who wishes to tryout should read through the FAQ as it might answer some questions...
