Stormtrooper SimHQ Lifer Registered: 07/10/02 Posts: 15666 Loc: Washington State	Although i still haven't seen it yet, gotta cook dinner first. Found it at Half Price books for $7.50. Been looking for ages and just happened to glance over and see it. Saw one of the older F/A-18 sims too (not Jane's) but didn't buy it. _________________________ Currently playing FSX SF2/SF2WOE/SF2WOI merged Rainbow Six Vegas/RS6V 2 SimHQ on Twitter-- SimHQ on YouTube-- SimHQ on Livestream

Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when my fear is gone I will turn and face fear's path, and only I will remain.

I am a big fan of it. _________________________ Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

It is in my queue but I still haven't made time to watch it.

George Peppard was such a lucky guy in that movie. _________________________ I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear.
