IIRC, the U.S. hasn't shot a torpedo in anger since WWII.

Looks like we're out of practice, eh?

What kind of naval ordinance is modeled in AH?  And how accurate is the ship modeling?  Any Long Lances in the game at all?

Ships in AH go so fast cars would have trouble keeping up with them.

I don't think it's fun to watch people die in aircraft accidents...

The worst tragedy out of all those airplane clips is to watch that P38 barrel roll into the ground at a WWII Aircraft show.

When did this happen?

I believe the P-38 was at the Duxford Airshow in July 1996.  The pilot was unfortunately killed.

Was that Jeff Ethell?
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

I think it was a gentleman by the name of "Proudfoot".  Jeff Ethell died in Oregon in a different P-38. :cry

The F-18 was releasing a drop tank...The Tank clipped the wing of the A-4...From what I remember the pilot stayed inside the A4 for about 70 seconds trying to save the airplane against orders, before sucessfully bailing...Does anyone know the result of the two F-15's colliding?
Additionally does anyone have any info about the top gun F-18's that collided? post the pic if you have it

Finally I can relate to that fire fighting plane...Reminds me of when I try to pull out of a BnZ in a spit

Thanks Cav, that makes sense now that I watch it again.  Man I get a chuckle evertime I see that Airbus choppin down trees, I'll pay extra for airline tickets that include a human pilot please.
