I was at Yuma for a lot of my enlistment. Wound up being there almost 30 years, total.Just an AV-8 returning from an early morning flight.
I remember when the Harriers first arrived there. My father-in-law was a tech-rep on them. Well, my FUTURE father-in-law
The first Harrier squadron was the famous Blacksheep. They made a huge deal out of it, with the TV stations and various newspapers in attendance. They had Robert Conrad, and the great Pappy himself. Both of them great guys, really. I was able to sneak in and meet them both. Did you know, though, they're both short little guys??
Heck we were Phantoms when I was there. AND a squadron of A-4's. We called them Thunderchickens...
I worked for VMFAT-401 when I got out, and when they first arrived in late '86. I'm even a Plank Holder. The planes were Israeli Kfirs. Essentially, a Mirage, with a J-79 stuffed in it.
But what the Israelis REALLY brought to the States that took off like a weed were those shelters. Oh boy, what a difference those things made!
Up until then, if you touched an plane's upper surface during the day, you would get 2nd or 3rd degree burns. No question. We actually used to fry eggs on the wings to show people how hot they'rd get.
Once '401 put up the 10 shelters they brought, and the Corps saw people actually working on top of planes without thick gloves, the shelters spread like wildfire. Now, I understand they're Corps-wide. I don't know about the other services, but the Corps sure fell in love with those things!
Sorry, I ramble down memory lane sometimes...

The 110D is the CFS2 unfinished beta from here --- > http://www.mrjmaint.com/RegsHanger/Groundcrew/homepage/Garage/Ground Crew Design Garage.php
if you already have their fs2004 Me110 ; from here ---> http://www.mrjmaint.com/RegsHanger/...4 Planes/Ground Crew Design FS2004 Planes.php then the panel and sounds drop right in.
You just need to write the UI lines in the cfg file and remove the dp file (cfs 2 damage profile).
Its a candidate for Shessi to fix up and finish that's for sure

The main reason for me to stick with FS9 are the aircraft which will not work properly in FSX(A)......
Mr. Vink,
For those of us who fly current 64 bit sims, the loss is even greater. No more portovers at all and quite a bit of native FSX models don't work because they're ancient 32 bit technology...
I hope that offers some form of consolation to ya.

Dear Mr. Priller,
Its people's own choice to pursuit what is generally considered progress. But in general the things we loose by chasing progress, are part of what we call "the good old days" when things were much better.......
(the days you could still trust politicians and things were priced reasonably.........)
Cheers,
Huub

I was merely referring to technological progress inevitably meaning loss. In moving forward you always lose things. I went 64 bit and lost the most beautiful Phantom ever (Cloud9), but I'm not looking back: no more blurries, stutters and I now have brilliant framerates.
BTW: Politicians being worthy of our trust? They never have been. Ever. Politicians are the lowest of the lowest. The difference between then and now is that their deceipt and opportunism are now obvious and for all to observe.
But I guess we should take this somewhere else.

Hey Huub...
What model is that? Where did you find it? Just curious...

Hi,
The model in the picture is the very nice model from the Fokker D.XIII, done by Mr Ito. It is one of his last models and very nicely done. You can find the story of this revolutionary aircraft here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_D.XXIII . You can regard it as a sort of research model for the Dornier Do.335 Pfeil.
Mr Ito's model has a very nice VC and with the beautiful textures done by Matt Wynn (one set with 5 historical ones and one set with 7 fictional ones) its a real gem.
