Nice costume. I have a picture of you sitting on the ground in that damn warehouse they made us wait in for two friggin hours just to see the masquerade telecast. lol, thanks. That situation really sucked, especially considering the awfulness of the masquerade itself.

Yeah, or, you could just, like, shoot them.

Fine, i'll do it the hard way... What problem could there be with this? It's not like I'm offending anyone..... Afterall, tha tpic is me making a fool of myself...

hey, where'd my image go?

Speaking of cosplay.......

Yeah, lol, we would have ended up with those hideous Breast Fighters!

Well, the full speed of the missile isn't totally necessary. After all, it's designed to hit a pursuing enemy, who will be coming towards the missile, unlike a normal situation, where the high speed is necessary to catch a fleeing enemy.

That really is cool! I especially like the way you have those flat side decks with the bracing cables.

I'm probably going to get myself one of these. It seems easier than soldering.

Wow, once again, Agent ONE manages to make some sort of horrifically offensive comment. Hooray for him.

Well, that is to say, the next-gen flankers do. Including my current favorite plane in the world, the Su-34. I've never seen that the Su-27 or the Su-33 Sea Flanker are equipped with it, but the -34, -35, and -37 are. Man, you can not believe how hard I tried to convince the Lock On: Modern Air Combat guys to implement the rear facing radar in the code, so one of the next-gen flankers could be added at a later date, but they refused. OK, I just checked, and we both seem to be wrong. The only member of the Flanker series whose rear radar I could find confirmation of is the Su-27IB / Su-32 / Su-34.

Oh, hey, you're on the LO:MAC Forums? What's your SN? I think you may have replied to my thread way back, at least someone made a Macross remark in reference to my Shin Kudou handle.

The 25 is an undeniably cool plane, but it has problems. The leading edge and nosecone have to be replaced after every top speed flight. But, have you heard the stories about Iraq's 25s in the Ffirst Gulf War? They proved themselves against US aircraft. There's a thread on the LO:MAC forums with info, I'll dig it up.

This thingy? Anyway, I missed that thread, but it's a couple weeks old, and it got Hijacked, so this one should be OK.

Why the reduced endurance? I'm not particurlarly familliar with this RPG system, but the Valk's Thermonuclear engines allow it to operate almost indefinitely.

You've got a point. Especially because most of our female members are, as of late, inactive.

Note: For full effect, you have to picture all this coming from a pair of football-style commentators. When a new paragraph starts, that's when the commentators switch. Well, this year is shaping up to be a big airshow event! Much like the 50th anniversary of the X-1's flight, and the founding of the USAF, in '97, this show, commemerating 100 years of powered flight, will be an event to remember! Expect to see all of the Air Force's stars, from the brand new X-35 Joint Srike Fighter, all the way back to some of the Flight Test Center's oldest, most historic aircraft! This is shaping up to be a helluva show! In the area of events, this year is another great one. As usual, the Air Force's Thunderbirds demonstration team will fly, on both saturday and sunday. One of the highlight events in the air will be the flights of the B-1B Bomber, which is attempting several world records during the airshow. Also expect to see a rare sight, an aerial demonstration by the USAF's top fighter, the F/A-22! You won't have to keep your eyes up all the time, though, there are a multitude of events on the ground, as well! Topping the list, of course, will be an extensive display celebrating the centennial of flight. Also interesting to many, will be demonstrations of the weapons loading on the F-15 and F-16, as well as a seperate dedicated Munitions display. And speaking of munitions, out on the range, the B-1, B-2, and B-52 will be displaying their ability to deliver a great amount of ordinance with pinpoint accuracy. But back on the ground, you can check many of these aircraft up close. From getting inside the cargo-carrying C-17, the KC-135 Stratotanker, and NASA's Shuttle carrying 747, to getting near the Dryden research center's most advanced prototypes and test aircraft. Expect to also see members of the USAF's ground forces, including armored vehicles, personal armament, and ordinance disarmament and disposal displays. Also present will be the usual complement of foreign and historic aircraft. Also on the ground will be an assortment of food and beverage vendors. This show is, after all, in the middle of the desert, and spending time there can make you quite hungry, and thirsty! Of course, many souviner vendors will be there, as well, selling everything from inexpensive toys to high end collectables, ans even some real pieces of airforce history. And almost last, but not least, Air Force recruiters will be on hand, in case the show inspires you to "Cross into the Blue". Finally, we'd like to thank the USAF, NASA, Edwards AFB, and the Dryden Flight Research Center for making this possible. We'd also like to thank the MWBS for giving this brodcast time.

The Su-27IB / Su-32 / Su-34 ( Int'l Air Power Review says -32, Modern Russian Air Power says -34) It has the capabilities of a full blown strike fighter. It has equal air combat abilities to that of the Flanker, and can outdo the F-15E in the strike role.... And it manages to do that in an aircraft with a lavatory, a galley, a bed for sleeping, a cockpit big enough to stand up in, and side-by-side seats with automatic massage functions! The L-39 Trainer / Light Fighter It's a bit of an odd choice, but I've always liked this aircraft. If I were to buy any available aircraft for my personal use, it'd be one of these. They are good looking, well engineered, and have room for two. They have very stable flying characteristics, but also manage to be surprisingly agile. It still remains, after years, one of my favorite Flight Simulator aircraft.

Screw you guys! I'm Shin! We all know that she's totally into me!!

I've actually been going there occasionally. It's fun to put the idiots in line when they ask stupid questions about Macross. There's a thread up right now about what the hell "UN Spacy" is, and why it's on the "veritech" toys.

Well, I haven't been able to get dengeki in a while. Every issue recently has included some cool giveaway, and Kinokuniya is always sold out when I go there!

ahh, the good ole set of Pliers! very useful for things of that nature! that's how my strap is fixed to my LV's gunpod, the "rings" are bent outta shape, but at least i did it with style! Haha. I used my teeth.

Ouch. That one guy that pre-ordered DN:Forever cringes every time you razz that game. Heh. Well, at least we know why it's called Duke Nukem: Forever. 'Cause that's how long we're gonna have to wait for it to come out!
