Every year on the AH anniversary why not a virtual airshow, we could have all AC lined up @ a mega base and people could walk around and check them out. Burgers and dogs pop and beer. Another thing would be a AH chronological webpage from day one.

Sounds great, Anyone for an aerobatic display team?
Hang on just thought, the only thing I am suitable for is the "Parachute Display" (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

He, he, sounds like fun Torque! I can demonstrate the 360 degree spin takeoff crash of the Tiffy! Formation flying would be so cool, but I'll do my solo routine in the B26... yep, B26... (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

hehe .. cool idea. We would need the ability to turn on smoke though without having a bullet start it (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Would be an interesting display for those on the ground who had bailed out of their planes to sit in the stands near the map room..

When was the last time you guys had sex? (not just with each other but a member of the opposite gender).
Virtual Airshow? Very very sad lads...
-vlkn- in muahahahahahahahahaha

Sex!?!?!?
What is that?
I think I remember hear of it once...wait... no, that was hitting the sack, which I guess had to do with closing your eyes and laying pretty still for awhile.
What is this "sex"?

Karnak, in your case when someone is saying "Check Six", what their actually saying is "Check Sex!"

Ripsnort,
Ah. Thanks for the explanation. Now I understand. <whew>

I must agree, this is a really stupid idea. Only losers and dweebs would place such little value on their time as to participate in such an event.
Yes, I will be there (serving virtual-over-cooked-greezy-airshow-hot-dogs).

um.....hate to say it but I bet it'd be a laugh.
Parachute display teams, acrobatic display teams, planes and vehicles parked all over a base and shed loads of players wandering round going "oooo....ahhhh"
:-) You'd have to bail outta something to be able to wander round a base....and everyone would have to be on the same side but that's no bother.
When?

Me and Funk could do a B17 show. hehehehehe
Tell me when and where and I'll be there. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
-
Freaking great idea!
I can see it now too - P-38s doing rolls into dead engines, point rolls, formation fly-bys, all that cool stuff!
Set a date! Set a date!
-
Ohhh - we need an airshow boss - he could organize and coordinate the fly-bys / events on a privvy radio channel and broadcast the event on the purple channel. (Snafu, hold at V54... Beefcake, bring in the 17s now ... P38 display team, you're next - get ready) Here they come folks - The Beefy B-17 Display Team....
Even demo shows of force as bombers drop bombs alongside the runway, etc.
I say we do it!
-
Ill do the hanger "crunch" display. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
------------------
"..he shoots fire out of his eyes and lightning bolts out of his arse..."
-
Did I hear word "Barn storming" ?
-
Yeah, and maybe NATEDOG & SUPERFLY, if they have some spare time, could build a little carnival area next to the designated field - kind of like a one time of the year terrain download. We could call it "The Aces High Air Show & Carnival". It could run for a week with 'fly through the hanger' contests, and the canyon race! You could build little bleachers in this special terrain along the race route on the canyon floor, a bleacher for each country, complete with special 'Fan' icons - we could watch the race!
- hmm, need more sleep...
Cool idea, Torque (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Training arena could be perfect to this kind of show too (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
-
Swoop, great idea to have all the spectators bail from the runway. We have to do it now. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
Everybody start practicing, get a routine together. I know we have a few aerobatic pilots around here - here's your chance to show your stuff. I'll see what me and Beefy can come up with in the B-17's. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Of course at the end of the show we'll have to bomb all the guys on the ground. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Hblair, forget I said anything about your noseart.
-
Don't forget air races, mock dog fights (!), formation areobatics, battle re-enactments, climbing races, mm and gunnery challanges (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I've been asking for smoke for some time now! Tried to get them to add it for training purposes, but my real motivation was for aerobatics (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) Smoke from each wingtip, and different colors. An aerobatics comp./airshow would be a blast. How about get them to add some pylons as well and have some races! If you really want to get crazy, just add some strong winds at one of the fields for some harry crosswind landings and a hovering contest! We did this in DoA aero comp, was a lot of fun trying to hover around in a certain pattern then land it on a certain spot, not 'realistic' by any means, but a lot of fun!
Once we get the terrain editor I'm sure somebody could build a cool terrain with all the 'fixins' for such and event, I certainly hope so.

Kewl idea !!
Now we can finaly see some squad nose art, every one squad linbes up an a/c on the static and we can walk around and tkae snapshots of the noseart on it with the squaddies wading around (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
whenever this one is i'm IN !
-
If something happens and I get an account, I'll see if I can do some high speed passes and aerobatics in the 190-A5. I'd also like to see a parachute demonstration ala Golden Knights. Be sure to get the show on film so it can be saved forever. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

WOAH Maniac!!!! count me in at this M3 race (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif) i'll start practicing today (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Whoaaah...
I can't wait a thing like Truck race with half-tracks (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
<hope the judges don't check my White's "modified" engine... Keith Black in White (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)>
I'm hoping this kind of show could be possible (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Make sure you do it h2h so we can watch acrobatics in 99mph winds. Hurricanes make air shows more exciting .
-
Torque, it's your idea.....but count me in.
Anyone interested in setting this up......ICQ me: 9625727.
Here's how I see it:
Held in the SE arena, not the TA. The SEA could be set up to only allow 1 side (to prevent pillocks from spawning and shooting down the air display teams.)
All spectators bail out of a plane while on the runway so's they can move around.
Need pilots to volunteer to sit in a plane on the ground so's people can oggle the noseart, etc.
Need a parachute display team to bail outta something that climbs well....G10?
Need some formation flyers (loads of em).
Need various acrobatic display teams. (Squads wanna enter their own teams?)
Canyon races, "Run what you brung".
M16/M3 races
Panzer sharp shootin competition.
Need a host to run things from channel 3.

Airshow????
I'm ready (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
(http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Cool idea!
The return of the Diamond Dogs...only in Aces High this time! Maybe Natedog and Superfly could also make special `AH anniversary' schemes for some of the planes for the aerobatic displays? Oh, and as long as they are adding padlock, hope they will add friendly padlock, as this aids considerably during aerobatic formation flight.
Great idea Torque! Of course the special guests of honor (And the judges for the performances) would be the ever responsive and most hard working HTC team! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
They would get seats of honor at airshow center. Since this was Torques idea, he would have to be the airshow announcer (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) !
Now, we just need to figure out how to tip the bottle over at beer mountain.
