In the USAF and work on aircraft fuel systems. Worked on A-10's for 6 years, F-16's for 12 years and currently working on B-52's (2 years). Miss working on 16's. I am 7 classes from getting a BA in Communications.Four kids and a wife that is going to school also, plus just got back from a 6-month vacation......I mean deployment.
No, used the search function to see what people said about LCD vs LED. Like I said, I just bought a LCD and taking it back to get a LED one. Wanted to know what people thought of them. I have a little time cause the store where i bought it from doesn't have the one I want in yet, I have 90 days to trade it in.
I just bought a 39" LCD TV 1080p, but I'm taking it back to get a 40" LED one that has built in WiFi, as the TV will double as gaming monitor and TV. My pit will be in my room, with the wife's blessing, she was the one that said put it in there.
I don't think it will be the last manned aircraft either. Human eyes in the cockpit has better SA then a camera looking around. A pilot in the pit will understand what's going on with his aircraft by feel and sight, things you can't get from flying it thousands of miles away.
As far as development goes, I'm sure it's been longer then 5 years. These aircraft go through a bunch of different stages before it is even built. After that, as you can see there are a bunch of stages and test before it's made operational.
I'm going by what the burn through was in FC2, since I don't have FC3 or haven't even played it. I just know in FC2, the burn through range was like 20nm. After burn through, the ECM had no effect on the missile guiding to it's target. I know a lot of things have changed in FC3.....was ECM output power modeled on different aircraft?
ECM shouldn't matter at that distance (10nm)....should it? The aircraft's radar should have burned through the ECM, thus ECM not effecting that locking aircraft's radar and missile?
Here is the Air Force safety mag, I've read some good articles in there before.
