Thanks FSXNP. Good to see the LSO simulator in action.

Hey gents. I came across this video today and had to post it. It's a bit old but has some great footage.

Another Discovery Wings classic. This time my all-time favorite girl, the SR.

Nice find Paddles, I really liked seeing the LSO simulator in operation, always wondered what it looked like. I wonder how the simulated airplane interprets the LSO's commands and performs the action in real time. Is someone actually flying the simulated plane and responding, or is it voice activated only (hopefully not using iphone's siri voice software ;)?
Micro, enjoyed the top gun video. When they talked about how people have been saying since WWI that dog fighting is no longer needed, it made me think of a conversation I had over a beer(s) this weekend with my buddy who flies hornets for the Strike Fighter Weapons School Atlantic (SFWSL) and is a graduate of top gun. While he no doubt enjoys what he does, he is not too optomistic on the continuing need for close range dog fighting skills or ACM (besides training new pilots) unless the current threat enviroment changes. He feels his future is probably protecting the UCAVs.... :'(
