Course then you'd have them waiting in medium base orbit waiting for jato/rato to wear off and swoop in in a timely manner (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/redface.gif)

How about the idiots that try to take off from a capped field and then squeak about people vulching them......they should fly too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Post by: Jekyll on February 11, 2001, 04:18:00 AM: If we're getting JATO in 1.06, there's only ONE reason for it.

The Me323 Gigant, which often used JATO packs to assist during takeoff.

Fingers crossed (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Post by: Kieren on February 11, 2001, 08:55:00 AM: I think Jigster was referring to people that only fly to bases that are ack-suppressed, hoping to run up those big streaks in a "defensively diminished, optimum opportunity" environment. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Post by: Sandman_SBM on February 11, 2001, 07:31:00 PM: SwampRat, theWobble... you're both wrong.

The first thing you should know about the Legend of the Rocket Car is that it's been around longer than most people think. It started years ago, as a vague rumor passed from one guy to the next by word of mouth, usually in bars or during lunch-break roadkill sessions. The kind of story someone hears from a friend who read it in a magazine a long time ago. It's a story that comes out of nowhere, gets passed around for a while, then dies out. And whenever it flickers back to life, it seems to spread like a grass fire. I used to think it was funny how it managed to spread so fast purely by word of mouth, but now that it's become a subject of Internet interest, its popularity is downright spooky.

Read the rest here. (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/8.08/rocketcar.html)
