    My condolences to the French people

    My condolences to the people of France. Was watching live feeds on Euronews about the terror attacks in Paris. Once more the "Religion of peace" has reared it's ugly head. As for the dead hostages in the theater, it would seem that the authorities held off too long giving the douche bags time to...

    So whats the problem in PNG

    I recently read Classic Wings where one person says that they know of a couple of P-40s, a P-38, Seafire and Corsair aswell as a B24 being broken up in PNG in the last couple of years. I know of a number of wrecks I'd personally love to recover if I had the funds but I know its impossible of...

    On this day Russia commemorates victory day over Nazi Germany, and the liberation of Europe from German occupation. In 1944, while on their way to Berlin, Soviet soldiers raped millions of women and children, their ages ranged from 8-80. The USSR also deported millions to the Gulag...
  8. Five Years

    Today I just happened to notice the join date under my dads picture in my avatar and realized I'd been here five years now. It sure doesn't seem that long. I still remember coming here for the first time looking for info on a gun sight and finding all you wonderful people here. There are many...

    We need a new "what if" thread . . .

    It's gotten a little dull around here, guys gals. What if scenarios always get people riled up. If someone doesn't suggest one, then I will. . .

I think it would be nice if people wanted to sell there gear that they have the chance to offer it to like minded people before putting on eBay or anything. With...

    Hello there! I have read from Clostermann's book about the carpet bombing, which consisted in a drop of a large amount of bombs on the target.

  13. Modern Saudi military

    Since I'm currently in this S***hole of a country and given the nonsense that is going on in this region, I thought I'd ask you guys this. Recently, in response to ISIS movement around Syria, Saudi sent 30,000 troops to the Northern Saudi/Iraqi border. I have always heard that Saudi is the big...
