  1. Any thoughts on my questions regarding the swing-wing NATF, David? Or anyone else for that matter
  2. "Turkish Top Gun"? Hadn't heard that one before
  3. IIRC I read somewhere that the Polish pilotes involved in the Battle of Britain used to have a lot of random banter going on over the radio to confuse the enemy and make their numbers larger than they actually were. Say, I got a question for the more knowleadgable guys around here. A little while ago I found this picture online of an F-22 adaptation for the U.S. Navy's cancelled NATF program: Now I was wondering, what are some of the things you would need to consider when trying to design a stealth aircraft with swing-wings? Would it be possible to do so if you made the wings so that they had certain fixed possible positions and angles, each one being in line with other lines on the airplane? Also, why give it swing-wings? Wouldn't it be easier to just give it folding wings for storage instead, like an F/A-18, and keep the basic shape of the regular F-22's wing? Or is the regular F-22's landing speed so high because of the angle of the wing that it would then need some special flap system or some other method to slow down enough to be able to land on a carrier? Also, some nice F-19 pics I found online Seen from another plane flying underneath: Refueling: Retirement: ~Bowen
  4. That's what I've read as well. There are also some rumors (not sure if it's been confirmed yet) that Liam Neeson is going to play Hannibal. EDIT: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_A-Team_(film)
  5. Wow, I didn't even know they had 747's like that, pretty amazing
  6. And keeping with the '80's classics, from what I've read (no, didn't save the source, sorry) Liam Neeson is supposedly set/in talks to play Hannibal in the A-Team movie that should be done somewhere next year, with some guy (nick)named Barricade (probably either a rapper or wrestler...) supposedly approached for the role of B.A. ... I've got serious doubts about an A-Team movie guys...
  7. Love the B-1B pics, David One of the most sexy bombers around
  8. It would be awesome if Rob Zombie did a full Werewolf Women of the S.S. flick next. Likely not gonna happen, but one can dream
  9. Awesome Let's hope they can keep the sheer over-the-top-ness from the trailer
  10. So when the radome 'opens' her scalp and feet get separated from the rest of her body
  11. Forgive my ignorance, but what is 'mil power'? Just regular engine thrust without using afterburners? Aside from that, I definitely gotta see that, it sounds awesome
  12. Once got a 3-day ban over on the WotC D&D boards when I nuked a thread with some Tubgirl (it used to be a constructive and useful thread but turned into a flamewar). At least it got the thread closed...
  13. Man, I love the fighter mode. If only I liked battroid and gerwalk modes just as much...
  14. Ozma and Captain Wilder's untold story:
  15. Finally! Someone who agrees on Cathy
  16. Just saw this over on /tv/: I don't know wether to laugh or cry
  17. Wait, you are? Awesome I hope to finish up my first year at uni studying philosophy this year And to stay on topic, Grace is cool (and pretty good looking ), just leave out the tentacles
  18. I hope they eventually release an Ozma version I'd definitely get that
  19. I thought the 22 could do that as well?
