    In need of some help with USAF pilot jargon

    I'd suggest the falcon 4 forum over LOMAC. Falcon 4 is more realism oriented while LOMAC is more blow-shit-up oriented. Nothing wrong with that though.

    [im]http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/veggies/images/corn.jpg[/img] Maybe I should just play the "All Your Base Belong To Us" song throughout the mission. Seriously, no one here has serious ideas? It wasn't that bad.

    "Come on, guys! Â Lets make some smoking holes in the ground!" "T-O-T (Time On Target) is coming up, keep your scans up." "All the tangos are smoking, send in the calvary." "Way to earn that combat pay!" "One's hit, don't see a chute!" "Cowboy up and get your job done!" "I'm down and clear, what do you want me to do?" "Hook up with those grunts and take out their objective." "Evade as best you can, SAR package is enroute" "Objective secure, good work." "Mission complete, let's R-T-B." I'm tired, what can I say.

    Stunt pilots to catch space capsule.

    Think about how much time and money it takes to launch a shuttle mission. Then think about how much time and money it takes to launch a helicopter to catch the thing.

    Stunt pilots to catch space capsule.

    I was thinking velociraptors would leap out of the capsule and maul the pilots, then figure out the controls on the helicopter and fly to washington dc just in time to notify the president of a coming alien invasion.

    Real life photography/photo editing

    It's a lenticular cloud (obviously). Â They only occur over mountains or sharp rises in terrain. Â If the wind is going along at it's own pace and hits a mountain, it has to go up. Â When air goes up it usually cools, sometimes to the point where it condenses (dewpoint) and forms a cloud. Â The air goes right back down afterwards, so it looks like a little bump in the sky. The problem is that when the winds get big enough they set up a wave and can cause severe turbulence hundreds of miles downwind of a mountain. Â In this picture you can sort of see the wave setting up. Â There's a really nice picture of a lenticular cloud forming over a small island in the middle of the ocean. Â Can't seem to find it now though.

    Nothing girly about lenticular clouds and mountain wave turbulence strong enough to rip a plane apart. lol

    You know, most people complain about there being too many airplanes. I sure wish everybody had the same appreciation for aviation that we do.

    SAAB Stealth UAV takes off and lands

    you just fucked with my universe but seriously i dont see whats so special about a stealth UAV. i can do better than that. radar doesn't pick me up in my cessna under 3000 feet out here, and i've got my transponder turned on! i can take off and land too, do a whole lot more if you want. plus i can carry up to 3 other people in my cessna, plus some baggage as long as nobody's really overweight. whats the big deal?

    USAF

    If I were you I wouldn't enlist, go in as an officer or at least an NCO. Not that enlisted folk are some kind of lower race or anything, but it seems like the military treats them like it sometimes. Especially if you want to make this long term. I know you can't be a pilot in the air force without being an officer. also, being an officer requires a bachelor degree in most any major (science and math majors are favored).

    Fuckin cool pic Maximus! I love pictures of weather and all that good stuff. Â Living in Kansas makes for some great sunsets and thunderstorms. Â I should be getting a digital camera soon for a birthday so I'll start taking some pictures of storms and the like. Â Military traffic is supposed to increase at my local airport so maybe I'll get some cool airplane photos. I remember once I was about to go to work. Â There was this cumulus cloud just east of our apartment complex that was growing really fast. Â So fast it got this wispy cap on top of it (almost like a lenticular cloud, but I wouldn't call it that). Â It started off as a relatively small cloud but grew into this gigantic thunderstorm. Â It was amazing. By the way, where'd you take that picture?

    Weeeeee!

    I wonder what the thrust to weight ratio is on that thing. Sure would suck if he just rocketed straight up... for him at least.

    Pssh, they don't even bother to correct their transmission frequency for their planetary rotation? Why bother contacting them, lets wait for some intelligent life forms. (sarcasm meter: 10)

    Al Q'Ikea terror attack in Saudi Arabia

    This will not stand. Â The US gov't will perceive any terrorist organization as hostile, as well as the countrys that furnish them.

    Gunmen take 200+ student hostages

    Let's just hope the Russians learned their lesson from what happened the last time. Especially now that we're dealing with kids.

    Athens Olympics 2004

    I just watched women's beach volleyball. I didn't have a lot of time to watch the olympics in the first place. But if they were on I'd watch them.

    Us presidential election 2004

    kinda funny that you guys are willing to post some quote that support your argument and criticize Kerry. How about recent comment about Iraq by Bush? Nah, I'd rather use Kerry's words against him.
