  1. Very informative tip! Thanks for sharing .
  2. Said missile is supposed to be an inert. TECH QUESTION: Does inert missiles have the electronics in them ?
  3. Here's a cool vid of the Endeavour's external tank floating away after being jettisoned:
  4. This is great news. Can't wait to get my copy !
  5. Nice stealth sterilizing of a thread AGAIN, Mods . I'm really tired of this. I believe my time here is now done. I don't appreciate a website that practices with a 1984 mentality. Seriously. So I shall go elsewhere. I'M OUT.
  6. What did you need from KH that you had to deal with their customer support?
  7. My thoughts exactly. It's like, "Here's my junk/manhood. You want a piece of me ?!!1!
  8. As it is; The final product was/is an awesome a/c that not only totally spooked Iranian F-4 drivers but also showed its worth by going in first to a very heavily guarded section of Syrian real estate during airstrikes.
  9. Excellent idea! Remember how they replaced the ball turret on some B-17s with a radar and dome that protruded lower than said turret? Imagine having seats that suspended you completely out of the a/c like said radar dome .
  10. I would love to be in said bubble during approach and landing!
  11. During competition the YF-23: 1) Was faster 2) Much more stealthier 3) Had a range approaching the F-111 WITHOUT external fuel tanks 4) Had the capability of greatly expanding its internal weapons bay with its current design. What the AF/Pentagon stated was that the YF-23 didn't turn as tight as the YF-22. TT; Name an a/c in the last 45 years that had greater design changes both on the interior and especially on the fuselage's aerodynamic shapes as the YF-22 did . The YF-17 is excluded from this question because it was an AF reject and was taken out of the 'trash' by the Navy and redesi
  12. The YF-23 was a better platform. Period. Hence, why LM scrapped its YF-22 design and started over once they won the contract (Weird, how that happened). That being said; I like what eventually became the F-22. It's just too bad we don't have more of them.
  13. I can see me reliving my childhood via pretending: B-17 turret gunner, P-47 pilot, P-51 pilot, etc .
  14. Yeah; I saw that vid last year. 'Improvise; Overcome; Adapt!'
  15. I see your points. But I was specifically referring to Russia and the U.S. though.
  16. Awesome. I'll take a half dozen if I can find them .
  17. Agreed. But aren't 1/72 Hasegawa F-111s hard to come by? I've looked high and low and only been able to find a Spark 'Vark (Which I bought).
  18. I give up. I don't get the scheme .
