  1. I’ll be texting that to the wife right now.
  2. So that is a fan theory that is out there. That the movie is actually a death dream of Maverick during the breakup of the darkstar
  3. I loved the F14 so much I even kept this ERTL die-cast F14 for my son. Not sure where my F15,16 and 18 went but I sure as shit kept my F14. Also it took me a while to find what it was called but I also had this: The joystick would throttle up when titling back, throttle down when lowering the nose, have the cannon when clicking the red thumb left and have missile lock and firing when clicked right. If I’m not mistaken if you punched forward it would make the afterburner sound…. Not sure on that. I still have this also at my parents but the joystick stopped working 30yeara ago. Oh and you could pick from different fighter wings, I got the jolly Rogers squadron obviously I still love the F14…
  4. Didn’t help that ROE also took away most of that interceptor role away from it… it basically became a deterrent rather than an interceptor or CAP/CAS like the F15. Desert storm further cemented that as the F14s were basically scaring off Iraqis without engagements. Barring 1 helo that the F14 shot down
  5. The sky striker was only released in that white in series 2. Like 5 years later it hit rereleased with the night force reskins as the “night boomer”. I cannot think of any ‘82-90 vehicle that used the F14 style in the gi joe lineup… Yeah I was a massive gi joe nerd
  6. I mean the pilots wore space pressure suits! As a kid that blew my mind. And it was black! It just looked more badass than anything else!
  7. Buddy had the USS Flagg and the Skystriker(F14) I had 2 rattlers, one that I used model paint to repaint gray for the Joe’s. I had the x30 forward swept-wing jet and my big bad boy was the x19 phantom stealth jet. God I spent so much of my lawn mower money on gi Joe and Nintendo.
  8. My BiL has a banshee and got his cam approved last month for it. It’s highly fun to shoot. I’m interested in their Dissent as a 300blk replacement. My first AR was a CMMG/Colt/Delton bastard creation and then the next year they started actually building and selling full AR15s…. Lol
  9. The Mach # flight test was what looked to be a future design of the old SR-71. It was a Lockheed skunkworks darkstar jet that they dubbed the SR 72
  10. I do like the skyline goatee To use the calatrava bridge along with reunion tower and 901 Main…. Brilliance
  11. Front left-er here. Controls are on far right side. I do know that no ever uses the back left burner. Ever
  12. Yeah my worry go Gaga is that while it’s nice that Real Madrid is interested in Slonina, he’s gotta start for Castilla or else he’ll languish on the Madrid bench. I’d like him to go to a la liga lower table team so he can really work his game and learn to play from the back at a high pace.
  13. Dude to me he looks like a mirror image of Bill Pullman… I even asked my wife if that was Lone Starr’s kid More than any other movie he’s been in, as Bob, he looked just like his dad
  14. Ma’am the data on the F22 is inaccurate. I just happen to see a F22 do a 4G negative dive
  15. Wouldn’t happened if it were the super league championship.
  16. Sound like the name of a gay porno. Nttiawwt
  17. Apparently when the roof comes loose, that wasn’t supposed to happen. A lucky accident that made the scene cooler.
  18. Probably these days. Which is more attention to it than just about anything else. Unless the other thing has naked chicks doin stuff to each other’s front-bottoms
  19. It’s really more that I listen to Gordo’s segments every day and I listen to their cross-talk. Then during the NormanD show I fade in and out not really listening. Hangzone I catch the opening during lunch and the try to catch as much as possible. I try to catch WTDS and then I’m usually “listening” to the hardline but I don’t really care if I miss segements. Usually on my drive home I listen to E-news and then when it’s over I switch to Spotify music. But it all hinges on waking up to Gordo’s brilliance. The days he is out, I find myself barely listening to the ticket at all. Which tells me when he’s gone, I’m gone… I might swing by to hear Dan because I do love his schtick but I don’t think it’s be for more than a segment or 2…
  20. When Gordo leaves, I’m out… Dan alone can’t save it for me at that point.
  21. I’d rather have an actual amber heard log than that garbage on my bed
  22. No dickcream.com?!? Tourney is stupid and wack
  23. Saw it last night. Loved it. They did a helluva job making it feel edge-of-your-seat every time they were in the cockpit. We took my wife’s parents, her father being an EE that worked optics for Grumman and McDonnell Douglas back in the 80s. He was peak US defense days. We all left the theater loving the movie. It did a ton of fan service and felt like they said “here just accept this and buckle the fuck up!” Sure there were some massive plot holes they tried to cover up with the old “technology can’t help us, we gotta do this the old fashioned way!” Trope. For me it took the best parts of top gun, iron eagle, behind enemy lines and Star Wars. Damn the fighter jet scenes were a blast. All that to say, JC is a goddamned national treasure. Sweet Jesus she is amazing
  24. And that’s what sucks. They were still in their prime when Greggo fucked it all up. I mean we wouldnt have like 200 iconic drops but they still woulda had another 5-10 years of solid hard line, if not more.
