    USAF guys help out

    If I read this document correctly (https://www.thebalance.com/air-force-enlisted-rank-insignia-history-3331700) then the rank chevrons shown are those that started to be used in March 1948, and so the pictures must have been taken after that date. That narrows the photographs down to early 1948...

    USAF guys help out

    I think that the aeroplane in the lower picture may be an A-26C Invader (designated B-26 between 1948 and 1965), serial number 44-34582, which was lost on December 9th 1952. The nose design matches this image on the a-26 Wikipedia page...

    BritizenCon 2018 (April 21st)

    I'll be catching a train over on the day. The Radisson Blu Hotel is 2 minutes walk from the Manchester Airport train terminal, so incredibly convenient. Nice to be able to drink and not worry about driving home too, so win/win :)

    BritizenCon 2018 (April 21st)

    http://www.britizencon.uk/ - the fan organised British convention will be hitting it's third year. I've just booked my ticket, so barring unforeseen circumstances I'll be there, so who else is coming? We had a decent turnout from Test in 2017 and it would be great to meet up with everyone...

    Covert Ops thoughts?

    I don't know about Covert Ops, but I definitely fancy making use of the stealth mechanics to run stings. Run enough 'solo' cargo ships through an area, which in fact are actually escorted by Ghosts/Sabres, and we should definitely have a positive impact on the amount of piracy in the region.

    What are y'all shopping for during the anniversary sale?

    Hoping for a 350R. I have one already but bought a 350R to Merchantman upgrade before realising how much I'd miss owning one. I've been buying the last few cheap bike/ships in preparation for this so that I have some credit banked. :)

    Ashes of Creation (New MMO)

    Sounds good, and I'm a sucker for backer-rewards, but between EverQuest, Star Citizen, and the BattleField franchise there is no space for more games in my life. I hope they do well.

    Rumors of CIG favoring TEST above all others are false!

    Sigh, I just came across this modified version - some sad soul (presumably threatened by our corporate efficiency) has photoshopped the original image:

    A guy on Reddit sold me the $50 stealth model (pictured below). I'm really looking forward to delivery.

    I was really drunk last night.

    I'd order one of these on Amazon prime for guaranteed next day delivery. Good luck.

    Official Stance on Evocati Posts

    It's said that they can bend spoons with their minds, and move beer with a single thought. This guy is probably Evocati: This guy is DEFINITELY Evocati: Probably not this guy though: You learn to be able to spot them.

    You all suck at combat! Get your ass into CFT - Combat Flight Training

    Beer is the great equaliser when it comes to language skills.

    Welcome Ops, may your flights be merry and your beer never spill.

    Face over IP - very cool.

    This is outsourced, so it's costing them money but not much in the way of time. As to takeup, I'd guess a pretty high number of the hardcore players will use it. Remember that the fancy schmancy camera is optional, it works with standard webcams, just not as well (for example you would need the...

    A little help please

    Way ahead of you Cpt, I found a really nice guy in Nigeria who offers this service for a very modest fee. He's the son of an exiled prince, so you know that you can trust him (I'm actually also helping him transfer some funds at the moment, but that's a separate matter). I'll P.M. his contact...
