    The Cobra fang was pretty cool too

    I prefer the a-10 tank killer, personally. I think that's the most beautiful combat plane ever conceived. Minus the retarded gun turret in this photo. Toymakers :rolleyes:

    Wallis autogyros have been powered by various types of engines, within the range 72 to 160hp (the latter is used in the two-seat Wallis WA-122)
    ---------------------------------
    Not that much, but you must realize it's considered an autogryo. There's a bit of difference in how they work.

    lmao....Yeah, I'm going to fly a jet engine aircraft, with my head outside....I'm going to shoot the turret. LOL.

    Prepare to fly. Most likely into the engine behind you.

    What about the Action Pack?
    [​IMG]
    Or the Tomahawk (I still have this one)
    [​IMG]
    Or the dragonfly ( I had this one also, it had the thumb switch for making the blades turn)

    And the plane is designed to go into combat with tanks.

    Imagine that. You're staring at the barrel of a tank, while the pilot is busying aiming a missile at it. You're out there pissin' into the wind with a totally useless weapon, trying to hold on and not get sucked into the rear engine saying to the pilot, "Dude. That tank's like aiming for my fuckin' head."

    GI Joe's stuff was all too realistic. That was the problem. Cobra's stuff looked off the wall, that's what made it neat. Remember the flight pod?

    Funny how after getting a couple of GI-Joe toys everyone becomes an expert on anti tank / gurilla warfare.

    This war will be won with hearts and minds not M16s and Apaches.

    Nothing compares to Voltron, man. Thunderbirds suck. All you had to do was cut everyone's strings and you won! Never got why the bad guys never figured that out :p

    That was possibly the worst insult ever.
    I couldn't think as slow as you if I tried, now why dont you go play with your GI Jane doll and leave the posting to those of us with brains.

    Well since ww2 America has become dependent on a wartime economy.
    The solution, sell second hand/third rate military equipment to foreign powers you know to be hostile and then goad them into a fight.

    The military industry makes millions/billions and everyone in republican la la land is happy.

    Minds and hearts can easily be wiped out by pushing a red button.

    Typical Republican attitude.

    I am glad that the Iraq government is finally starting to step up to the plate. We'll see how well they do.

    BTW, Anthony, the USA was never at war with Lebanon, so the USA never lost the war there. The USA was there as one of several "peace keepers". That war was just another example of how well radical Muslims can destroy a peaceful country when they take over. Or do you somehow think that the USA started that war? Nixon must have been involved somehow.

    Ooh. It looks like my new buddy Anthony has been banned. That didn't take long. It certainly wasn't due to this thread. He was less rabid than usual in this thread. :rolleyes:
