@HerbCarmen Oh wow. Something else from TG was legit then! Though I suppose (unlike the Tomcat scope in the opener) you really DID have a 360 degree radar sweep!

@HerbCarmen .. but seriously though that’s a great graph and really illustrates in vs out. I’ve been guilty of relating almost anything to planes in the past, but taking enough food to the office to not wind up hungry before day ends is sorta fuel ladder like.

@HerbCarmen Better tap the gauge! Also something I’ve learned from DCS so in no position to provide you tips on aviation but… you can make the Bingo caution light go out simply by dialing down the bingo state in that top centre number! Easy fix… for a bit..

@pbontoast1 Haha fair enough!

@darrylcn Not all of us can be tall and good looking. SLUFs are still very useful...😂

@thenewarea51 There’s also this story of another interesting dude. Thought it was the same guy at first but nope there’s at least two of em out there: youtu.be/HgWjtNfyMeY?si…

I’m sure you’ve seen his videos on YT, I’m guessing more will get arrested as time goes on. “15 minutes of fame” as they say.

@Pj27271111 Nice job on the windscreen on that Tomcat! And can’t help but recognize those names!

1/18 scale MiG-15 aircraft. I did some major cleaning on my stowed collection that has been collecting dust.

@zapad1981 Freaking love this episode. Just the mood of it is such great Cold War goodness.

It’s really the only thing I’m always thinking about

@CWLemoine Aw Mover, please hold this thought until after we get TOMCAT (!) II.

Have we run out of names? Why is everything II now?

@TOMCATCO71 Good comparison between oversweep and not too it looks like!

Skid Row!

@SteveDaly15 @pbontoast1 Our local news always called them Buffalo Aircraft and now it’s Hercules Aircraft and I feel like that’s in store for CC-295s too. Can’t shake the idea that they’re clarifying it’s not the Greek hero himself dropping rafts to those in distress.

@pbontoast1 I think I see a Buffalo in the background.

C5 going to nom nom nom some Snowbirds

@TomcatJunkie “I’ll take Swords for $400, Trebek!”

@HerbCarmen What a transformation! Congrats for the effort Herb.

@hyperducati Massive F-14 fan, so I knew to look at the ventral fin and saw the VF-21 on it😁. Excellent work by the way!

@darrylcn 正解です。どうして分かったの？

脚庫ディティールアップの立体資料にとハセガワの48トムを引っ張り出してきた。 分かったのは完成したらほぼ見えんがな、という事。

@IndefiniteLT @pbontoast1 I found this in a box of my “stuff saved from childhood” over the weekend.

“Following the failure of Operation Eagle Claw in 1980 … the Defense Department saw the need for an aircraft that could support long-range, high-speed missions utilizing vertical take-offs and landings.” … oof navair.navy.mil/news/Flying-40…

@HerbCarmen Crap. “Should’ve”. Sorry (eh) Herb. I guess good on the Tomcat guys on the advisory staff for the movie letting that line slide.

@HerbCarmen I feel like he was too surprised with the wings moving though, still variable geometry jets in service he shouldn’t known about instead of being ageist about F-14s!

@TomcatJunkie Hi there, quick question re that Army Gear Tomcat/CV/Canteen from the other day - I had it but FOOLISHLY don’t now..I always thought this chair, which I strangely do still have, was from that set, is it? Was I at one point into office supplies more than F-14s? Ugh.
