  1. hmm. I run firefox and the viewing the photo threads are just fine. No crashes here.
  2. The bone has a big tank. I remember talking to a bone driver how he out ran a F15 driver on because they didn't have the fuel to stay with him. Losing 2K LBS/ min, someone is going to have give up chase and it will not be the Bone.

I won't post the pilot's name since they are still being sought and killed but he was very informative to say at least. Tom received a far amount of bashing on the usenet groups. You'd see USAF and USN types ripped on him pretty hard. One USN type would mention his CO was privy to all the data and he said his CO would have told him how the Iranian F14s were doing in the war. He said that Tom was just making
  12. Awesome job! Thanks for all the work with the thumbnails too!
