Re: Catapult T/O Trim Chart

At full bomb load on runway start I usually have to set it to about 19 degrees trim for it to rotate at 200 kts. Otherwise I have had tires blown out and have to pull the stick manually.

Re: Campaign - Operation: Freedom Calling #2

All we know is that Iran started this craze over oil around the same time construction started happening and something tells us they are not making pistachios. Also the building at WP 4 is a Pistachio Plant feel free to handle that if you have enough munitions. They were making pistachios! :o

An anti-ship mission with Maverick missiles to sink an engine-crippled Iranian frigate. 1 - Lion, shot down 2 - Hedgehog, shot down Mission failure.
