  1. Nah, man...iceman just cut him off and caused the F-15 to go into a tailspin.
  2. Found this on Arc Air discussion forums...its a scale model forum I visit for tips and tricks for airbrushing and whatnot.
  3. I just posted a story, I didnt post a debate! A little inter service. rivalry never hurt nobody
  4. I would assume its an F-15D model, Viper.
  5. It wasnt stuck.
  6. Now, this is no ****! Towards the end of the AIM/ACE -- EVAL, things had heated up between the Eagle and Turkey pilots. At the Nellis O’club many innuendoes and challenges had been thrown out as a result of the high profile dog fights between the Tomcat/Eagle Blue Force and the F-5Es. The Blue Force F-15 drivers were threatened with a court martial, flying rubber dog **** outta Hong Kong and having their birthday taken away if they even thought about locking horns with ACEVAL Tomcats. When the test sorties were finally over, a couple of F-15 instructors in the 415th training squadron took the bait. “Turk” Pentecost and I were a section. Turk was not nearly as cocky, arrogant and boisterous as D-Hose, but just as aggressive, smart, devious and just as good a stick. We briefed a very wide hook, an altitude split of 10k ft. and a radar sort @ 25nm by Bill “Hill Billy” Hill and “Fearless” Frank Schumacher. All pre-merge heat and radar missiles didn’t count. It was GUNS only at the merge. The wide hook enabled Turk and D-Hose to split the fight into (2)1v1’s, with one Turkey high, one low and lots of lateral separation. As Hill Billy and D-hose closed for a 250ft, guns kill on their Eagle, the comm went like this: D-hose: "Where are you Turk?" Fearless: "Right above you Hoser" D-hose: "We got two cons! Who’s out front?" Turk (mildly offended): "Who do ya think?" Both Eagles were gunned, “knock it off” was called, and the Tomcats RTB’d with a 500 knot, 6.5g, half second break at Nellis…cuz that was our salute and tribute to our fine VX-4 maintenance personnel. Knowing the gun camera film would be destroyed by the Nellis Photo lab, it was covertly sent to a secret contact at Grumman for processing. Bout a month later, December 6, the door slams open and General Knight, with 2 of his staff, doggie wobble heads entered demanding to know “who and where are Hoser and Turk?” Falcon (J.W. Taylor), OinC, stepped up asking if he could be of assistance. The General respondes with, “Your fighter jocks have no idea how their playful antics affect important political decisions!” Well, as General Knight proceeded to explain, Japan had contracted for twenty one F-15s, but an article in Aviation Week had talked about the F-14 being superior to the Eagle. With gun camera film to prove it, Japan was considering buying F-14s instead. The General told JW he wanted ALL copies of the gun camera film, the TVSU/VCR tapes, and audio recordings on his desk by 0900 the next day. He was obviously ****** when he arrived, but as a result of the humility and contrition displayed by Turk and D-hose, he was satisfied that his mission was accomplished. Of course, D-hose and Turk didn’t want to embarrass the F-15 community, and they never mentioned the incident again…UNTIL NOW! ……. A few months later at a VX-4 at JW’s , D-Hose sez “Hey Falcon, I know ya got a copy of that 16mm gun film,,,, how bout it? JW bugs for a few and returns with film I have in my hand right now. PS: The 8” x 10” single frame of the 16 mm gun film on my bulkhead in my ‘ war room’ shows a F-15 thru a F-14 HUD, radar lock, @250ft, Vc zero, piper on the pilot’s helmet, gun selected, No X over the ‘G’ = master arm on = half detent on trigger depressed, (which activates gun camera and opens the gun gass purge doors) with… Zero rounds remaining……. Good Thing!!!
  7. Had no idea there were more...
  8. Found this gem on Youtube by accident. Surprises me that hardly anyone has seen this vid!
  9. Lol I remember this from this past christmas!
  10. Best Metallica remake EVAR!
  11. F-22 crash
  12. The last week Ive been doing some stuff for ESH, mainly travelling on Dobbins looking for hazmat, and Ive been seeing some interesting stuff around the plant. I found the original wind test model for the F-22 in an empty hangar today and I wish I could have been allowed to take a picture of it. Also got to see the C-5M for the first time up close today as well. Caught this on accident.
  13. I havent used them in a few years and I dont have enough money right now to afford a decent computer to fly nowadays, so Ill go ahead and part ways with them right now if anyone wants them. Ill even throw in my old TIR4 pro, which still works perfectly, but the tripod is AWOL. Last time I used them was when black shark came out, and I havent played them very long. $200 bucks plus s&h for all if anyone is interested. Ill post pics if anyone wants to see them.
  14. Reminds me of home.
  15. I want a groan button. I am a paying customer, damnitt! :D
  16. Ive been wanting to make this one for a while....now I can show it off! :D
  17. I dont even see why you should care about it anyways. It does absolutely nothing. You know what would be even better than the system we have now? A green box for those who post good, relevant posts/topics, and a red box for those who troll. Why concern yourself over something so trivial as a bunch of green boxes with a number anyways?
  18. It wouldnt let me do that for some reason...
  19. Is there a recommended patch installation from a clean install of WIC to WIC Soviet Assault? I havent played this in a few years, and I dont know of any other patches available.
  20. solved...but I realised I didnt get my serial numbers, just my transaction ID.
  21. That MC-130H has got to be the ugliest thing to ever fly since the flying banana.
