Question for the lounge. When I start strafing taterguy's neighborhood
should I go with the Blackhawk, or the apache?

This probably should have been a poll.

9. I'm surprised Ptah didn't suggest the Warthog
They do flight training with those out of Davis-Monthan AFB in Tucson!

31. I'll take out the whole fucking galaxy, just to be sure, creating a gravity hole
Edited on Fri Mar-06-09 02:11 PM by Rabrrrrrr
that sends the universe into chaos, collapsing it back into itself, destroying everything that ever was, is, or would have been.

That's how much I hate whoever it was that this thread was started about. I can't even remember, and it doesn't really matter one way or another who it is anyway, really, if you think about it.

I just know I hate him/her with perfect hatred.

6. Black Hawks!!! Black Hawks!!!
And combine them with a few Chinooks. They have the ability to shake the ground. I speak from experience.

If you want to do some serious ass-kicking, go with those two. You can't lose.

12. I don't think I've ever heard of a Black Hawk not crashing, so...
I'd say go with the Apache.

14. I live in the city that supplies the nation with Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Camel cigarettes
Go ahead, challenge the most sophisticated air defense system ever devised.

This land protects what's important.

15. Not worried. TZ is working on biological weapons and I've contacted Rabrrrrrr
Once he figures out how to nuke you from space, it's over.

22. I'd go for a P-51. Come in low and fast.

100 feet or less off the deck.
Just before dawn on a moonlit night with all exterior lights off.
They'll never know what hit 'em.
You'll enjoy a lot more dash and elan with a '51.
Just don't get target fixation.
We lose a lot that way.

25. Okay, I've never noticed this before for some blind reason, but
why are all these helicopters named after Native American tribes?

27. It's a tradition that goes back at least to the UH-1 "Iroquois" aka "Huey"
Back in the early sixties.

I have no idea who's in charge of names of things, but it's clearly a tradition to name choppers after NA tribes, and tribes with reputations as "warlike", whether or not it is a deserve reputation.

Just stupid military ideas, they have so many!

29. I may be wrong, but I believe it goes back to the Greeks/Romans
They would use the names and images of the enemies conquered.

30. Ahhhh, I like that analysis...
If not consciously their intention, there may have been a subconscious thing going on as they chose names...

Sad, that.
