JG-1_Vogel Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Red Storm Rising to this day is one of, if not my favourite novel. Could never put it down and read it over and over. 66 is too young for this day and age. RIP Tom :(.

kraszus Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 RIP Tom Clancy. Red Storm Rising was my first Clancy book. I think he was also involved in the documentation for 'Red Storm Rising' computer game.
Picksplitter Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 RIP Tom. Read everything he wrote and/or co-wrote.

VTJS17_Fire Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 RIP Tom. :( I didn't like this overdre patriotism, but his non-fiction books were very detailed and great.

VIKBELL Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Rest in Peace Tom Clancy very much enjoyed all his work.. There are 2 categories of fighter pilots: those who have performed, and those who someday will perform, a magnificent defensive break turn toward a bug on the canopy. Robert Shaw
Harpoon Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 Requiescat in pace. Was a big fan of the first Ghost Recon and Rainbow Six series. I read a book of his too. :( If you want to talk to anyone about anything personal, send it to their PM box. Interpersonal drama and ad hominem rebuttal are things that do not belong on a thread viewed by the public. One thing i have to point out... naming a thread.. "OK, so" is as useful as tits on a bull.
Ripcord Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 I remember being a young sailor on watch, reading Red Storm Rising right when it first came out. It was almost like required reading in those days. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Call911 Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Red Storm Rising to this day is one of, if not my favourite novel. Could never put it down and read it over and over. 66 is too young for this day and age. RIP Tom :(. Yup same here Red Storm is what got me hooked on his books/movies an games, truely sad day, he will be missed!
WildBillKelsoe Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Rainbow Six was my favourite. RIP AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
