Flare We paid ~$1400 but that was back in 2002. You might want to check with the company that is shipping your other vehicle, as we used the same one. I can't recall the name right now, but I did look around and the prices were just about the same (or more) everywhere else. Where are ya going? I just got back from a TDY to southern Germany, I do miss being stationed in Europe but the weather in Texas is definitely better! Cheers! M2

OK, a bit of a thread revival... I am sitting here ignoring AFN in the background (I am in southern Germany at the moment), and there is a "news brief" on the 480FS being at Graf Ignatievo Air Base in Bulgaria. I think they do a quick interview with Lt Col Andrew Wolcott (480 FS/CC), but like I said I wasn't paying attention. Still, I glance up and see they have his rank as "LtCol" like he's a Marine. OK, I know that it knit-picking; but then I notice they have his unit as the "480th Flight Squadron!" Fucking hell, this is USAFE/PA doing this piece; you'd think 1) they'd know basic military ranks, and 2) they'd know that "FS" stands for "Fighter Squadron." Oh, and then I notice in the USAFE/PA press release on combined training exercise they call Graf Ignatievo an "Air Force Base." Jeez, have they not figured out that most countries simply call them "air bases?!?" They've been dorking this up with USAFE bases for years ("Ramstein Air Force Base"); but you'd think for a country they're not used to reporting on, they'd bother doing a little fact-checking! Sorry, I am a bit sleep deprived; but it's been five years since I've been stationed in this AOR (and over 28 years since the first time), and PA here is still dicking the pooch! Cheers! M2

Serious, you're giving credit to the shoeclerks for this? Sounds more like PC careerists with wings not wanting to uphold the find traditions of the O'Club in fear that it may end their upward mobility. We ain't talking about Bolling here, if the death blow is dealt against the Nellis Club, then there will be no one to blame but those that let it happen...

So, I put the spare new barrel I got with my GSG-5 in yesterday afternoon, and I think I know the source of my FTF problems! The top side of the feed ramp isn't too bad...here it is compared to the new one on the bottom... But check out the burr on the bottom! So hopefully I've got the cure! Oh, and here's a pic of my GSG-5; it really is a fun little carbine, I just hope this solves the issues I've been having with it! Cheers! M2

Once again, take the SIB/AIB discussion to the link Toro posted; especially if you want to see all the posts I moved over from this thread. Please, no more sidebars; keep this thread focused out of respect for the crew! Thanks! M2 Agreed.

Wow, is it me, or does Robin Meade seem to be chunking up a bit?!? She was still pretty tight here... And here... But I'd still Speaking of which... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XEfHURMDwk Cheers! M2 p.s. There used to be a CNN billboard on 410 & 90 here in SA with Robin on it, it would almost cause me to drive off the road several times a week!

Thanks Brad, I'll pass it along to my fellow gun enthusiasts here in SA. One point though, the first link to the event flyer PDF is 67MB+. Any chance of getting the whittled down to something more easily downloaded? Cheers! M2

That's great news, I just hope the local media didn't dork it!

I went through in 81 and I vaguely remember a training manual that may or may not have had aircraft pics in it; but hell, it’s been nearly 30 years! But I do remember my TI (SSgt Rodgers) telling us about all the aircraft in the inventory at the time (the USAF was still flying F-105s then) and saying how an A-10 could turn within the distance of two nearby buildings. Being a clueless 18-year-old at the time, I envisioned some high-tech, space aged looking machine in stainless steel. When I finally saw a Hog, it was quite different than what I imagined… Cheers! M2
