Mule Posted December 3, 2011 Author Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) You're missing a few in that collection. If i had the money it would be 3 or 4 times longer than that. Done my wish list on Amazon :) Any suggestions Eddie? Edited December 3, 2011 by Mule Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 A Nightmare's Prayer is excellent. I'd also recommend Firestrike 7/9 for a view of CAS from the JTAC's viewpoint.

When it comes to my A-10 yes sir, I am :D The ONLY reason I went back into the USAF Reserves a few years back was to work on A-10s again...if the unit I'm in ever deactivates and no A-10 unit is near I won't be playing USAF anymore :D v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website | v303rd Fighter Group Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepilot76 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Years ago (80s) my parents bought me a subscription to Take Off magazine, I think it ran something like 12 volumes of 12 issues each. Not sure on that. Lots of great articles that I can remember to this day, but one of the standout ones was about the A10. I can still remember the description of low flying, rolling inverted to crest hills and duck between trees. It made me realise how utterly fantastic it must be to fly the A10 and realise that Mach 2 isnt eveything. Round about that time 3 or 4 dived down on a train I was travelling on in lincolnshire. The kids in the table next to me were very excited to see the "Lancaster bombers" coming at them. Think they must have been watching The Dambusters soon beforehand.

Supersheep Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) Completely off topic: @bluepilot76 You are sure you are running 8 gigs of DDR5 memory? THATs what I call a geek ;) back on topic: I can only offer three office folders (dunno hose things in english) with about 500 pages each, strictly limited to DCS, plus Smallwood's Hogs. Does that qualify? Edited December 3, 2011 by Supersheep The PVC Pipe Joystick Stand How to thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepilot76 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Completely off topic: @bluepilot76 You are sure you are running 8 gigs of DDR5 memory? THATs what I call a geek ;)? Eh Yeah Im not technical on computer specs, but thats what it says on the front. I know it was good, is that really good? I hope so! DCS A10C inspired me to ditch run of the mill computers, do some research\find out about gaming laptops, and buy that one becasue it seemed pretty cool. Still cant run COD though.

Bahger Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 (edited) I am fortunate to have built up a very large combat aviation library, too. I have a very enthusiastic recommendation for you: "Feet Wet" By Rear Admiral Paul T. Gillcrist. This is the best account of wartime fighter ops I have ever read. After flying off a carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin and with combat experience in almost every fourth-generation fighter/attack a/c, Adm. Gillcrist became one of the first test pilots for the F-16 at Edwards. I read a lot of military non-fiction and this book rises to the very top of the heap. Adm. Gillcrist lives in my neighborhood and I am honored to own a signed copy. Edited December 3, 2011 by Bahger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
