first off, RL sucks sometimes, sorry for being gone for so long. but I have to vote for the SBD probably for the reason anyone else votes for theirs. Purely sentimental reasons. I just love that kite. Right now in IL-2, in my online airgroup squadron, I chose the SBD as my first bird to...

I just have to say that having an open, friendly availability of things like the manuals, plans, etc is what makes this group so awesome! Thanks so much for all of these! Definitely a good argument to my friends when they asked me why I wanted 2 TB of storage space on my new desktop! :shock...

wow! Holy cow!! this is so amazing! I'm a nutter when it comes to getting "all the details." And the ability to have these manuals so I know how the boys were taught how to fly these great warbirds is practically priceless! Thanks for setting up a great index with them!

Greg, I do love that Corsair. I've visited the museum a couple times in the past. That Corsair is pretty much the start of my love of WWII aviation and especially the Corsair. I was eight or so when I first saw her take flight. I was hooked from then on. I was also pretty young my first...

I hope y'all don't mind me bringing this post back up, but I have a question. Normally, I'm quite good at graphs, but I'm having a heck of a time interpreting all the performance graphs associated with the aircraft. It looks completely foreign to me and I've tried a lot to comprehend them...

I'll take Stephanie Powers, especially back in the day so to speak. Always a sucker for a red-head. Olivia Wilde or Kate Beckinsale?

Hey Airframes, Javelin sent me your way since you're the "resident Wildcat expert." http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/basic/finally-able-register-38712-2.html all I got to say is that's awesome. I'm a big Wildcat fan and I just wanted to say hi!

Ivan, thank you for that. I always find it interesting how often very beautiful images can be found over on Flickr, only to have them be "protected." It's a shame. I don't mind not being able to save them to my harddrive, but pinterest basically says where the pic is from to begin with :D and...

thanks for the compliment about the signature. It's a couple screencaps from the console game "Birds of Steel" along with the patches of the different USMC units during the early days of Guadalcanal. Basically it's 1MAW, 23MAG, VMF-223 and VMF-224, VMSB-231 and VMSB-232. Finding the "baby...

how about neither? lol of course I'm biased, I've accidentally met both of them. The joys (pains?) of growing up in SoCal. for Halloween :D fast or slow zombies? :D

wow talk about an adventure! That looked like a great hike. Glad to hear you made it out of the fall all in one piece, that could have gotten really ugly fast!

I'll take Vanilla - Root Beer Floats! :D speaking of which, Root Beer or Coke?

Thanks for the help Bill, it's greatly appreciated and that made a TON of sense

...wow, for a "state your own opinion" this thread sure went a little nutso :shock: to both of you
