There goes Jets wet dream. You know the bag lady is from Canada right? :rofl:Quote:
I've grown too soon old and too late wise and, oh yeah, I hate Canadiens.
She talks the talk, but she's from the wrong side of the border, in more ways than one. :mid:
I'm English.
...you mean the guys who have to borrow our helicopters and use our doctors?? Comeon man, get on your politicians and give the warfighters what they need to win!!!!!! What the heck was this thread about anyways? Oh yeah, how come nothingon the F-15? Still the best fighter out there today.
We had the Puff in Nam, what a beauty that bird is at night when you are hot and they come in and light up the area and hose it down, next day it looks like a fresh plowed wheat field..Quote:

The other day a small bunch of Thai ran a bunch of the Limey marines back to their ship after fucking them out of 35k baht.
I am an older warrior who was to old for Nam so I went in as a contractor too.
Gotta give these two a mention.

The Sopwith Camel
Take a previously underperforming warplane, add powerful RR Merlin engines and long range tanks and you got the P-51 Mustang, a superb piece of trans Atlantic co-operation-

No other plane could fly higher, or further.
Nothing like the FW-190 a beaut.

I also love the A-10 I grew up with them doing straffing runs over my football practice field in Germany.

They would come in so low that I could smell the exhaust and feal the heat coming off their engines...
I bet if would have been a different outcome if that was a bunch of U.S. marines or Army soldiers. "You Americans are so violent", you bet your ass we are, somebody has to to make up for rest of poofters. Yeah, but your contracting job had way better women and food I bet.....
Really, does the owner know this?Quote:

RAAF General Dynamics F-111 afterburner reheat ignited fuel dump at Avalon, Victoria
F-111 nose cone is similar shape to Kookaburra's beak I think.
Will be in Thailand for vacation next week, finally some green and water to see. I ate MREs for 9 straight weeks here in 2003....Ignore the troll above you, just another wanker who can only bash those who actually did something with their lives. Now, here is a combat aircraft:

Amazing engineering for its time.
Yes, god forbid I am proud of my country and what I have done. It is okay to be proud of your country, people. A bit of Nationalism is a good thing, the exact opposite is well, you guys. Next up on the list P-40 Warhawk, a much better war record than given credit for and could take a heck of a lot of damage:

And, this bad boy did a lot of "close-in" work. A1-Skyraider. My dad said it was his favorite bird to call in for close-ground support.

Was indeed. Slow but accurate. One hell of a payload. Would keep flying with a few hundred bullet holes in the fuselage.Quote:

Always had a fascination with this oldie, but goodie B29 Flying Fortress!

^One B29 was deployed in England as a propoganda tool - make the Gerry's think the B29 were heading their way. Most of europe was bombed with B17, not a bad plane itself. ;)
