I'm in the CAP, so I have access. I also have friends that live on base that I could "visit", but they wisely ensure they are out of town that weekend. Something about a daily airshow without the crowds. :lol:

Oh well, was hoping. Guess it's just not to be. Good luck on the next one.

Digital connection between PC and HDTV

So I got my 60" SXRD and love it. Watched Smoke On through an S Video connection and it was actually pretty good, though not great quality wise. My laptop (prefered comp for TV) only has a VGA port for an external monitor, or the S Video hookup. Is there a way to get a digital signal to the HDMI via...

Mine too. And this year I don't need to deal with the speedway. Gotta love base access.

Nice to hear the update. Last time I heard about this (maybe 3-5 years ago) he was just getting to the point where motion was all that was left.

There is the 747 and A340. And imagine the lift capability of the A380 or 747-800! You could probably move 2 full squadrons. It's just something that I'd heard, probably 5 years or so ago. I'm guessing the idea was that with all that fuel they didn't want to lose 50% of the thrust or something.

I thought I heard somewhere that the AF didn't want a 2 engine tanker. Was that old thinking perhaps? Or did I just imagine it?

Isn't the SU30 like 15 years old? Not exactly fair to compare it to an F22.

Something tells me that story isn't 100% true. That doesn't mean it's false though. I'm sure there are people, some in the military, some with access to JATOs, that really are that stupid. But hey, fully true or not, at least he soloed!

I wish Rainbow Six: Vegas was on PC... OK, checked before I clicked, but I'll leave it up. Seeing as how it's on PC I might have to try it. I hate FPS on consoles. I prefer using a keyboard, though if I get my new TV, I may have to change that rule! For some reason the BF series didn't feel right to...
