Yellonet Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Fun to find but sad to watch... Look up Tucson USA, there you will find an airforce base with a lot of parked A-10's and C-130's, I think there was an F-16 and an F-15 too, cool I thought, and then I looked just to the east of the base... :o A huge aircraft graveyard... there's B-52's, F-14's, F-4's, F-111's... you name it... all withering away... i7-2600k@4GHz, 8GB, R9 280X 3GB, SSD, HOTAS WH, Pro Flight Combat Pedals, TIR5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilBivol-1 Posted October 20, 2005 Share Posted October 20, 2005 Hmm, funny how I was just looking at Grozniy via Google Earth yesterday out of a Fry's Electronics store. They had a free Earthlink station there running the program. Besides my home town of Kishinev, Grozniy was my first 'destination'. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

Every shelter in that base has such a hole on the top.

Yeah - reckon there should be a line in a .Lua or .cfg somewhere to let you set how long the smoke keeps going for - let you ballance it against performance. Cheers.

Starlight Posted October 21, 2005 Share Posted October 21, 2005 Would you please, sir, leave Belgrade alone? If you want to talk flame, let us please go to the flame section of the forum, right here. Thank you!!!!!!! don't want to start a flame. my post wasn't supposed to hurt anybody, I'm terribly sorry if it did so. I just noticed some unusual features as seen from the sky. I found strange that after some years a military airfield still bore so many signs that it was bombed. Full stop. Anyway you don't have to see a political thread every time one writes about your country. You had war, and I'm sorry for that since I hate war and violence. I hate each and every war in this world. But, even if it just happened few years ago, I feel it like something belonging to the past. Now we live in peace, we are talking in a free forum, we are lucky enough to be able to play computer games. Maybe we support the same soccer or basketball players... just enjoy the fact that now we live in peace. and don't try to start political flames everytime your country is just mentioned.
