Re: "The Spitfire"Britain's Flying Past on BBC2 9PM-10PM 22

A number of years ago, we were sailing around in Penobscot Bay, Maine, USA when I heard a radial engine sound. When I finally located it, it was coming from a P-47 flying low on its way up to Bangor (KBGR). Wow! I said. Haven't seen one of those for a lot of years. The following day, on our homeward...

Re: I used to have a black labrador...

As I said in my post about the "sanitized" version of Huckleberry Finn, many black people, some of whom were literature teachers and scholars, found the changing of "nigger" to "slave" utter nonsense at best, and totally destructive of Twain's whole point. My son pointe...

Re: Achtung, Laughtwaffe!

Yes, I think this should be a new sticky.

I burst out laughing at the "blip near Calais."

Could even have a contest; provide the caption for this one, etc.

I love it!

Re: Hurricane Flap Settings

I know the Hurricane has multiple flap settings, and I was wondering if the "first" setting could be used in combat without damaging the flaps. I get cought all the time in those Luftbury turns with the 109's, and I can't turn as tightly to get a lead on him. I was hopeing that dropping t...

Re: Even more recognition to BoB2WoV.

I think the writer nailed it. I fly cfs3 eto, maw, pto and korean skies and they're also great sims, especially with all the add-on work done by a talented bunch of folks with a real desire to make it as historical as it is fun. I think the accuracy of the flight models and the way the AI's behave i...

Re: Who put that bloody tree there!

Stickman: There is a funny bit in the movie, TORA, TORA, TORA in which Gen. Short encounters a Hawaiian environmental group which will not allow the siting of the radar atop the best mountain. It's a piece of the mosaic which led to the utter surprise for us.

Re: FREE beta release: Tiger Moth for BOBII

WYNOWELL As I said, grasping at straws. I misunderstood; thought you had the installs on separate HDs. So my "For what it's worth department" isn't worth much, it seems. Others will know way better than I, but I recall seeing somewhere that Windows 7 doesn't like to have BOB installed in c...

Re: O/T A bit of a travesty from the Royal Mint

It doth grind the grits when stupidity reigns. The mint's explanation is nothing more than an excuse f...
