    With a helmet camera stuck on my helmet. Every full-up BFM flight has a hard deck so I'm not sure what you are getting at with that comment?

    PS3 Vs XBOX 360

    had the chance to play both the 360 & PS3 yesterday on a 34in Sony HD widescreen @ 720p ... Madden07 on both systems and Call of Duty3 on PS3. PS3 looked better with Madden in my opinion. ............ the 360 maxes out at 1080i ... though most people will say beyond 6 or 7ft you can't tell...

    since you’re a boot to posting on these forums, here's some advice - there’s stuff that’s sometimes said on these forums that shouldn’t be taken literally or personally ... and i wouldn't insinuate anything about somebody you probably know nothing about, there's some pretty salty pilots that...

    PS3 Vs XBOX 360

    that article is subjective, one mans opinion. no shіt XBox online and amount of games available for the XBox360 will be better than PS3, it's been out a year longer ... and hell, i could easily write an article and fill it full of "Without getting into too many details" and "I can’t get into...

    Master jet base to Pensacola?

    i'm not too sure pilot_man. while i agree that a quick left or right turnout on departure from NPA and within a couple minutes the Hornets would be out of the P'Cola airspace and not bothering any TRACOM sqd's, i don't think the W-155 is big enough for all the squadrons the Navy would bring...

    Super Hornet in Pensacola

    you got it backwards bro, 210 knots for the mains, 190 for the nose ... at least for the old school Hornet (A-D) generically speaking, landing long on a shorter runway with a stiff tailwind could possibly lead to blown tires. i personally would not land with more than a 10 knot tailwind in...

    French "almost" fire on Israeli jets

    Brett, i suspect it was a MANPAD vice anything radar-guided. could be wrong though. personally i'd like to see if the French has the sack to engage the Israeli's. as you said though, no doubt there is more to the situation than the media knows about.

    Iran spying on our carriers?

    Rumsfeld to step down

    . and we still are fighting it on the cheap ... at the expense of American lives. I copied this from wikipedia ... it's a basic explanation of the Powell Doctrine. "The questions posed by the Powell Doctrine, which should be answered affirmatively before military action, are: 1. Is a...

    USMC Anti Porn?

    MOS Advice for Marine Corps Officers

    he has very little control over what MOS he gets out of TBS unless he has an Aviation contract, he's a Lawyer, or he graduates first in his class at TBS.

    Navy Cutting Aviation Budget

    my 2¢ China is a country to be concerned with ... we shouldn't be naive, as they are biding their time. if China decided to take over Taiwan next week, there is nothing we could do about it, and if N Korea sees that escalation as a good time to mass troop along the DMZ, we'd really be up a...
