  1. What ?! That's yours ?
  2. So wish the Comanche went into full production
  3. 15mins from Williamtown to Canberra - it would be a lot of time if the enemy was flying in Canberra, but as I explained in a previous post - enemy jets wouldn't get to Canberra in time for that. Too much radar etc. It's not like the US/EU where you can look across the field and be looking into a different country.
  4. Australia is not getting the vertical lift JSF's they're only for the marines from memory and I think UK is having a few. We've already have a handful of them, but they're currently in the states being tested/worked on but they are AU JSF's - be quite a few more years before we start seeing them around Australia.
  5. At this point in time, I wouldn't exactly know if they did or didn't, so I couldn't exactly comment - but it would surprise me if it was combat ready. Wouldn't surprise me that the Skyfire one would come from Williamtown overnight. I use to live on the Air Force base at Williamtown and they're not short of Hornets. Every couple of months some of them would do a flyby as it was their last flight and needless to say... the windows shook, car alarms beamed and my ears screamed - awesome memories. Use to watch the FA/18's, among other fighter jets; F16's(US), Super Hornets (US) and Globemasters, Antonovs and all sorts of aircraft at Williamtown. Some of the best memories were watching the AU Hornet boys flying against the F-16 US boys - they'd be circling the airfield and then game on... screaming past sand dunes and homes and then they'd all return with a wingflap and give us a wave, sometimes they'd even pop the canopy and wave as me and my m8s stood probably 50m from the runway - not fenced or anything. We screamed like little girls in excitement.
  6. That Hornet you speak of is for the Skyfire in Canberra - it's only here for an airshow. @Bryce - The closes armed Air Force base is Williamtown roughly 5'ish hours via car. So they'd most likely scramble a Super Hornet/s which can do close to 2,000km/h - for safe keeping, let's say they travelled at 1,500km/h, distance is 500km (on a road - straight path flying would most likely be closer to 300km, even less) that would roughly take 15 minutes. We also have ships in Sydney with Anti-Air capabilities which could cruise along the east coast with radar following the movements of enemy aircraft - The Super Hornets would most likely go to the enemy jets as opposed the city. So, if they fled, they'd most likely be met halfway. However, in saying this... enemy aircraft would most likely have to travel from the North of Australia which Tindal (Northern Territory) have 75 Squadron which is a combat Squadron - so, they'd most likely be picked up from Tindal first.. Thus, warning Williamtown who would be covering the East Coast of Australia (following the enemy movements by radar). Now, if they came in from New Zealand airspace.. then NZ would give Williamtown a thumbs up and meet them at our borders - also, we have Navy ships cruising our coast so it wouldn't be such an easy fit to sneak right in. Also, given the enemy aircraft would need to travel over ocean and then return back to base, you can safely say they wouldn't go to the west coast of Australia unless they plan to land on an Aircraft carrier out at sea, which would be impossible given that our radar would pick that up. We also have subs which are 'underwater floating radars'. SOOOOO... to sum it up, you wouldn't be seeing a "Tomorrow when the war began" scenario in Australia that easy, if at all.
  7. Australian Website: http://www.nissan.com.au/Discover/News/2014/February/27/NISSAN-PLAYSTATION-ACADEMY-INVITES-AUSTRALIAN-VIRTUAL-RACERS-TO-REV-THEIR-ENGINES-IN-2014 Don't all rush in and sign up.. geez
  8. Anyone heard of GT Academy? A quick run down.. GT6 racers from US/EU (Last season) compete for a top 45 finish. Those 45 drivers go to Vegas and compete.. the no.1 driver who wins this PS3 competition gets put on the Nissan/Nismo racing teams and competes in all different categories for a career changing lifestyle! My point? Well apparently, in 2014 GT Academy is coming to Australia - thus Australians will be able to compete. I haven't played GT in donkey years and I wasn't tooooooooo bad at it ( I was horrid), but I thought I'd let everyone else know. Anyone going to enter?

  9. beta is open again for this weekend. I have pre-ordered and will be playing in this beta as well.
  10. Created thread.
  11. As far as I know, Adelaide (East Sale) do not have Jets. Probably a co-pilot in a C180 or similar
  12. I'll have to pass. soz
  13. 2/14 Light Horse Regiment (QLD Mounted Infantry).. Must admit.. the ASLAV is a bit of an upgrade from horses haha
  14. My brother drives the ASLAVS. They're pretty impressive. What does he fly (navigate)? F/A18?
  15. Almost the same thing with dad - he wanted to fly but got glasses at the age of 16. So he became a Chaplain in the Airforce instead. We Were Soldier - Too Tall haha Might of been able to fly helicopters?
  16. Jets are amaze-balls. Extremely agile !
  17. Do you still have the electronic rear wing? That would have cost a fortune I dare say.
  18. Tbh.. I actually quite like it.. even though it's maxed out on rice.
  19. I'm still yet to spot this other red R34
  20. Caught up with a few mates and went for a quick cruise - they met up with the Braddon guys... left there not wanting to be around kidz doing fatty skiddiez. So went up to Mt Ansilie and chatted about Initial D with a m8 who tagged along then went home. So good taking Rosie out for a long nip Spotted a R33 GTR and a white R34 GTT and about 50 SS's haha
  21. HEHEHEHE little cheat :$
  22. If that
  23. Yeah, saw it on carsales. By the looks of things, his mum sold it to a dealership. http://www.carsales.com.au/dealer/details/Nissan-Skyline-1996/AGC-AD-15348893/?Cr=5&sdmvc=1 listed as a GTR haha
  24. That's a bit dodgy... Have you dropped the "I need it by this date, no later" ? Works a treat most the time.
