I didn't realize that you could program toe brakes on CH Pro pedals...I use my X45 pinkie switch right now... Gotta check that out.

For me, it completely depends upon the plane. T&B in Zekes when flying early Japanese, but I switch to BnZ when I fly American or late war Japanese (Franks, Georges, etc.) If my opponent starts to T&B in a BnZ plane, though, I will go T&B. I was flying Zeke's the other night with the guys, but the map was unbalanced, so I went Red. La-7's, P-63's, Yak 9U's.

Very cool! Do you fly F-16's as well, or do you just prefer the sidestick controller?
-
A little long in the tooth? That's like saying the Sea Kings are a little unreliable! God Bless the man's family, and his friends.

They'd use lard too: hard to keep the birds away....

To reduce the amount of radio chatter, would it be helpful to have us use more channels? 1 channel per flight? I know you won't hear everything, but I had whispers set up to each flight leader on Saturday, and it could save us some bandwidth.

Added a Me-109 G4 Trop to my works in progress (1/32 scale Monogram: very nice!) Will post pics some day; P-61 too...
-
Welcome, August. See you in the friendly skies! Hope you don't expect anything too serious, or mind insane humour...

I was working in a downtown Edmonton office a few years back, when I heard the roar of several Pratt & Whitney's nearby. Lo and behold, I see a B-17G go flying past my window (giving them a good shake, BTW), as it was giving out rides for charity. I was on the 8th floor! It was a CAF plane up for a local airshow. I can't wait for the water bomber company to begin warming up for forest fire season: they use several B-26's (former A-26A's) - nice sound, and they tend to practice low over our town!

You married a bird named Merlin?

After checking out recent threads, I decided to list this...

Is it a 914/4, or 914/6? One of my favorite cars still, despite its unpopularity... -
Can't wait to fly with you again, Guitarman!

Mascooleeneety? What is this? I'd better ask my wife... BTW: don't piss her off either - she's fired C7 rifle, C9 Minimi, up to C6 7.62mm GPMG, M 72 LAW antitank rockets, and trained on the Carl Gustav 84mm anti-tank recoiless gun! she's the one to be afraid of in the house! -
Back to the flying stuff... I came in much later last night: was watching Amazing Race with Natalie. I flew 2 missions, shot down 4 for 1 death (got jumped by 5 guys while protecting Relentov in a Betty, but I took down 3 of them before they finally killed me!) Some of us should take tracks of these sorties more often and post screenies...

When you go away for a bit, how many forum posts do you need to get caught up on, 1000 or so? Must be encentive in itself to never stop flying with us nuts!
-

"Per Ardua ad Astra" RIP, aviator extraordinaire.
-
Same here, mate. Sorry to see you not fly with us anymore for awhile, but you're always welcome to visit! Nice flying with you , and hope to see you around soon! BTW: do you have the same problems on HL as you did with our SEOW with the 352nd?
-
Geez, you're up early, and dare I say, you're up wierd!
-
What'dya mean why are we confused? This thread begins in the middle of a rant against JensenPark! Where's the previous dirt and accusations?

I'll help out, dude. Send 'em my way... -
I agree, Rog. Unfortunately, in a case like Rob's he doesn't want to talk and requires quite a bit of psych. counselling. I think that it'll take a lot of the Afghan vets a long time to talk about their experiences. My brother's supposed to go in the new Leopard 2's next year - his tasking this year was nixed by Ottawa....bloody Reg. Force vs. Reserves games....
-
I talked to my brother (still in the Army reserves in Edmonton, in my old unit), and I found out that one of our buddies, a MCpl R. McCue, was standing next to a female artillery Captain when she was killed in action near Kandahar. He's now completely messed up. Her death was not a usual one - don't ask for details (seriously - freaked me out when my brother told me.)

This is where I still go, but they have no search engine either. Tough to find if there are alot of skins in the section. http://www.flying-legends.net/php/downloads/
