Ooh! Forgot about Aardvarks (and Ravens), on a visit to some of the East Coast Ranges in the late '80s the staff working them always looked forward to them, even some suggestions of once one flying so low between the 'quad' - the observation towers used for triangulating the hit points - that it took out the phone cable suspended between two.

And obviously the good old dump 'n' burn is (would've been) a fantastic sight. :yeah:

Whoever said the F-104 was a "Missile with a man in it" with confidence, never saw a Mig-21

The F-104 was less missile and more lawn dart :O:

that is quite true, but, if you managed to keep it afloat, it was insanely fast

My vote goes for the Mig though. It's the only thing that keeps me from buzzing around in my prop planes.

In a straight line yes, but try and turn it... (the 104)

The MiG-21 was a deadly little sod, and a real pocket-rocket, heck some private Space guys in Oregon are looking at using a 21 to launch suborbital sounding rockets over the Pacific. The 23 was good though, enough to make the Pentagon hold back the F-15 to modify it. :yep:

F-15s are cool...... :smug:

Off topic funny bit of info- In the CFS3 PTO Solomon Islands add on, the enemy can fly Willy's jeeps through the air at you. Hilarious! :D

On topic- The MIG series, in my opinion, has put out some quality planes and some crappy ones.

@ Herr-Berbunch I like your sig. :up:

Why, thank you, kind sir. :salute:

My favourite is the one that lands right way up and not on fire.:D

Herr B has a sig? :doh: Doesn't show up for me...which is odd.

That one ^ can you see it now? :hmmm:

Nope, let me try this in Chrome, could just be a firefox thing or a noscript thing. Let me have a tinker...

EDIT: No, and no, noscript isn't blocking anything unusual and Chrome doesn't show it either... Perhaps BT thinks that it's from piratebay and has blocked it... :O:

Berbunch's signature's existence must be some sort of conspiracy fabrication, as I cannot see it either... :shifty:

EDIT: Could it be that only someone on your friend list can see it because the location of the image is in an album on the forum? At least, that's where the link in your post goes to.

I've just sent a friendship request to him, so we'll see if that clears it up.
Honestly, I thought we were already friends... :doh:

Friended. Any joy? :hmmm:

Bingo, and yes, that is a good sig. A very familiar sight. :yep: *looks a bit further* Oh, no wonder, you were attacking a flying porcupine!

Yea. IS THAT A SCREENSHOT? because that game looks amazing just from the sig. Lots of detail. :up:

It's from Storm of War: Cliffs of Dover:

Must have some more bashes at this. Tis quite good fun. :yep:

It is indeed from Cliffs cropped then edited with Photoshop. Unfortunately it was from my period of not understanding the engine controls -I can't see the prop-pitch but imagine it's set to 12 O'clock hence the oil all over the screen.

I know better now, but haven't played Cliffs for probably over a month while they get there patching in order.

WOW! I am almost speechless. That looks like loads of fun. :D

I bet it requires a hell of a PC to run it. :wah:

Interceptor, no dogfighter.;)
Besides it's safety record with our fighter bombers was better than that of the F84 which it replaced (and from what I hear it was also better than that of the Mirage which was the alternative for our air force...but one hears a lot of things when the days are long and I'm not certain it's true...).
Actually it worked pretty well after the teething problems had been ironed out (I won't deny that this took decades and more than a hundred lives in our air force alone).
