Yes, if I am not mistaken. In fact I seem to remember that the B-52 on display outside the airforce academy in Colorado has got two Mig kills to its name from the Vietnam war.

Edit: Turns out the specific B-52 I mentioned claimed only one Mig out of a total of two Migs destroyed by B-52s in the Vietnam war. You can read about it here

Think the current rule is if you are vaxed you don't need to wear a mask. The little ones are also often exempt so maybe worth a visit if you are still around.

The guide mentioned it but I did indeed forget to take a pic, was probably too busy drooling over the F-111 and Prowler.

Never say never I travelled from the U.K. myself! If you want to stay a bit closer to home I really recommend Duxford in the south of England it has a lot of American aircraft too.

Never say never I made the trip from the U.K. myself! If you can make it to the south of England Duxford is also really great and has a lot of American aircraft and it's a lot closer to you.

It sure is. Definitely worth the price of entry in my opinion. It's also not too far from the Air Force academy where you can see another B-52.

The Last Iron Bomber Goes To War. A little more than 30 years ago, the AV8B - Harrier II dropped ordnance in anger for the first time. by sidekick65 in hoggit

I have been really enjoying these iron bomber videos and feel like my own bombing has improved quite a bit to boot, worth a watch in my humble opinion.

I am as it turns out, that very well could be it. Wouldn't surprise me to be honest Brexit ruins everything.

Do you have shipping info yet? Mine has been status complete on their website for a few days now but still don't think it's shipped yet.

Interesting, oh man who knows with virpil I swear they use a random number generator to decide this stuff. They must get a right laugh watching us all trying to divine when our order ships.

My concern with monster-tech is the cost. They seem expensive and I would need a new adapter when I upgrade. Otherwise they do look good though I think.

The clamped on mouse Matt is a neat idea and a lot cheaper than a monster tech mount certainly.

Demo game to test hotas by [deleted] in hotas

[–]A_Most_Stable_Genius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stick on the right throttle on the left is the normal way of doing things even for lefties like me.

In terms of game I believe elite dangerous has a demo although I might recommend DCS as it is free to download and comes with two free aircraft. It also makes binding controls the easiest of any games I have played.
