MigBuster "What people like and what critics praise are rarely the same thing. 'Critic' is just another one of those unnecessary, overpaid, parasitic jobs that the human race has churned out so that clever slackers won't have to actually get a real job and possibly soil their hands."

Crazy things happen to crazy dudes ! _________________________ My il2 page Seelowe Campaign Cliffs of Dover page CloD My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

xthor Member Registered: 04/30/06 Posts: 526 Loc: Sydney, NSW, Australia	Matt Hall was in a documentary called Real Top Guns when he was still in the RAAF - they had a segment of him doing acrobatics in his small plane during his spare time and also said that he was taught by his dad to fly at a very early age. He almost got shot down by Iraqi AAA during the war: http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/ace-fighters-iraq-ordeal/story-e6frea6u-1226103807539

RuhRoh Member Registered: 04/21/11 Posts: 282 Loc: Central Coast, CA	You know as cool as I think the Red Bull Air Racing is - and it really is some of the most outstanding flying I've ever seen - I have no desire to actually go to one of those events and possibly see something I just don't ever want to see again.

I think I'll take my chances with getting chopped in half by an Edge 540.. _________________________ Subscribe to PC Pilot magazine! -- (I write for them!)
