Sometimes, we just need to remember what the rules of life really are: You only
need two tools: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the
WD-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Sure we should get SAMS  then to.

Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

The F-22A never saw combat in WWII.  The F-14A, on the other hand...

He's a nice F-22A pic for you.  This was taken from an F/A-18E driven by a former F-14 pilot.  Pipper on the spine, Raptor headed down looking for all that E it left behind...good thing for the air force the guns were dry.
