some people like to use that big ol' number pad on the right of the keyboard... i think you'll find the 1 is conveniently placed beside the dirty great 0 at the bottomHansMeiser wrote:
no offense but 1 isnt even near the 0 on my keyboard, i dont know how you can have a typo there.
shouldnt happen in combat eh :p
I don't know about "built to go in reverse" but I've definitely seen DC-9s use their thrust reversers to back themselves out of spots at Detroit Metro.RimReaper wrote:
This all relates to the ridiculous "reverse thrust" that these jets have. None of them are built to go in reverse and for Pete's sake if they were, it would NOT work in the air.
Forever ... more like as long as it has enough fuel/inertiaDefiance wrote:
But cruise missles last forever... although I wonder how long a sidewinder will go for, I believe that's what's used in BF2.
Looks cool man, when is the F-16 going to be replaced btw ?F16_Aggressor wrote:

Everyone knows that 302Sqn doesnt exist as an F16 Squadron, so why cry?
Lets go back to topic before we start a war on this forum about nothing.
Go battle on the battlefield.

Yeah i was thinking it was something along the lines of that. I know quite a few airfields around my area. I guess it's something i'll pursue after University, when i have the money and whatnot.RimReaper wrote:

It's way easier than you think. Just go to your local municpal airport, not the big international one, they're all in too big a hurry out there. Once you get there just walk into any flying club and say "I have lots of money, but no pilot's license" You'll be in there in no time.
But seriously, it is a little expensive to get your basic private pilot's license for flying you and your friends around, but anyone can do it, so go for it!
Let me know how it goes
The dogfighting in BF2 isnt any realistic, in real combat, its like this: locked first is dead.Krappyappy wrote:
so all you pilots, how do you keep track of the enemy plane while dogfighting in bf2? one slightly off turn, and they're out of your field of vision, but it seems that the good pilots can always find me before i can find them.
and i don't want to hear something about spotting, that can't be it all the time.
My dad worked for 36 years for the airforce (not as pilot) and i was coming there often, and i loved flying machines.Mekstizzle wrote:

So, F16_Agressor, if your still hangin' around these forums. How d'you end up being a jet pilot for the air force? Did you already have a license before you joined?
