    Maybe it’s an EC 135 or EC 145?

    How are the other coalition members doing with their helicopter operations? We hear about the US ones being targeted quite often. What about the other members? Have they experienced and problems or losses? I think that the British lost two Sea King helicopters, but (IIRC) this was during the fighting early on in the war.

    What other aircraft are in this game?

    Do you get to choose your own paint scheme and who you want to fly for?

    I also think that this is a Su 22.

    It appears that the story is true. Here is a link:

    Guerrillas also struck at an Air Force C-17 transport plane with a ground-fired missile, forcing it to return to Baghdad early Tuesday, a senior Pentagon official said. In Baghdad, the U.S. military said the plane reported an engine explosion on takeoff and one of the 16 people on board was slightly injured.

    IIRC, the canards are made of parts from the tail of the F/A 18. I could be wrong though. Can anyone confirm this either way?

    Thanks for the info.

    I have another question. What are the roundals (airforce markings) for the these countries? Lithuania has the white cross type looking symbol. What is it for Estonia? Latvia seems to have two, the round white and red circles and white and red X. Which one is the official one? It seems that the round one is, but I just want to make sure.

    The airforces of these countries seem to be almost non-existant. Are there any plans to procure new fighters and equipment? Other European nations are either upgrading their current fleets or procuring new equipment. Does anyone know what the plans are for these three countries?

    I did a search on the internet and came up with a few reports of Su 27s at Groom Lake. There were a few photos, but nothing clear. Oh well.

    That sounds freaky. What got me was the pilot hanging out of the BA flight. He was hanging out the window while the plane was flying and during the landing!:eek:

    I agree. As a movie, Braveheart is a good film to watch. From a historical perspective…it leaves a lot to be desired.
