The excerpt alone had me on the edge of my seat... Looking forward to this one!

Also a YouTube video:

I preordered it a few weeks back

I don't think I've seen that camo design on the viper hes sitting on before either.

Where'd you pre-order from? And is it guaranteed on 2/10/12?

Amazon.co.uk

There are no guarantees with anything ever.

Lol, I get what you're saying but I meant are you at least slightly hinted at being promised of getting it on 2/10? Or is it going to be SHIPPED to you in 2/10?

I noticed there's an ebook and an enhanced ebook version as well... hmmm.... nah, I'll get the paperback-dead-tree-version....

Just did a search on Amazon and I wonder if any other books are worth picking up? Eye of the Viper looked good but then reading the reviews... The modern Viper guide seems awesome, but I wonder how it reads, might be too technical for me. Any suggestions? I already have Vipers in the Storm and liked it.

They will send me an email when its sent as normal - I wont be holding out for any particular date.

Pre-ordered the ebook. It says it is enhanced with multimedia stuff. Can't wait. Thanks for the tip!

It's an Aggressor paint scheme.

Yes I know - different to other Schemes I have seen so far

Amazon now says released in 20 Oct.... bummer!

EDIT: Anyone know where it states the additional features available on the enhanced ebook? I wonder if this'll be like Vipers in the Storm wherein we can view those extra material in some website... would be a bummer to miss the extra goodies simply because of buying a dead-tree version.

Ice, thanks for the heads up on this book. It was in my mailbox when I went home for lunch; I read the prolog. Outstanding! Very well written and super easy to read. The descriptions are very good -- my mind's eye had no trouble seeing everything he was describing. Can't wait to get home and read more tonight!

What? How can you have it already? Isn't it Oct 1 in the USA still?

BTW, downloaded the enhanced eBook version and it's quite cool --- has pics and videos and sometimes there will be a blue/purple text in the book, click it and it'll open a pic. On the sample it's just a pic of the F-16 cockpit and a pic of the Maverick missile, so I am quite excited to see what the full enhanced ebook will contain.

Probably gonna buy two versions of this book then, a dead-tree version and the enhanced ebook.

Yep. I didn't expect to see it in there; when I pre-ordered, the release date was still Oct. 2.
But, I'm not complaining...

Is ordering the ebook the only way to get the extras?

No idea, but seems to be. So far not yet released on iBooks.

How big is the dead-tree version? And where did you order from? Amazon UK says Oct 20 release date here... bummer. At least I'll get the enhanced ebook in a few hours.

I picked it up this morning at my local Books A Million....I cannot put it down.

Definitely gonna pick this up, that snippet had me drooling...I need to load up BMS now...

Finished it. Good read ... it left me wanting more mission briefings/AARs from additional missions not mentioned in the book. Now I'm looking to purchase "Vipers in the Storm".

This book sounds great. I loved Vipers in the Storm, so I'd better grab this one.

I too finished the book, read it in three days! LOL

Very good book, a must read for every Falcon 4 AF and BMS jockey! I felt like I was right with him when reading the passages about some of his more intense wild weasel missions. Man, how he never got shot down by a SAM or AAA is beyond me. A testament to his flying skill and SA for sure!

Some parts, near the end of the book, were a little too "AMERICA..F$%K YA!" for me, but I understand his point. I do agree with him that UAV's are not suited to WW missions and that the term "warrior" has been bandied about too easily. I have greater respect for the men and women who do the real thing and allow me to simulate it. No matter how "realistic" the missions in the simulator, I can now understand how much more complex they really are and how much planning and SA goes into them.

Highly recommended! If they ever make "Art Of The Kill: Wild Weasel Edition" he should defineately be the one to host it. I'd be in the front row for sure! Would be an honor to meet him in person too.
