Cool youtube video

The last starfighter is a fun movie, but it’s less of a controller than it is an Arcade game.

Great article marc!

I have to…

FUS SA RAH!

I don’t remember that one, which one is it?

FUS RO DAH is the one usually employed…

Ah Crap I did it again.

Every time I miss spell Fus Ro Dah…… :-P

well there are two things you guys are overlooking from the movie IMO…

1. the machines used the machines and schematics they had AVAILABLE.  And that said, they used them in a mad scramble to protect themselves/skynet.  You know how often your machines turn off/become unreliable/break down.  Skynet used EVERYTHING at it’s disposal instantly, because that’s the most efficient.

2. I took it (especially from the last terminator movie) that like the matrix, humans were needed for certain things.

3. I also took it, that the rest of the planet, didn’t have their own sky/net machines/drones. and that the bulk of the problem was an American one.

4. Nuclear Devestation also would have damaged machines… EMP would have messed them up.

@Gargantua:

It’s basically pay as you go…

$600 or so for ground school (About 40 to 60 hours)  then you pay to rent the plane ($100 to $150 per flying hour)  you’ll need an instructor for atleast 15 hours…  who is also $50 an hour in the air, and $50 an hour pre flight.

So each session in the beginning is about $300… but as you progress, it gets cheaper.

The cool thing about renting a plane is you only pay for the hours it’s actually running/flying. (To an extent) so say you want to do a day trip, a 1 hour flight there 1 hour back, it’s only $300 + gas, which is roughly equivelant to car gas, except you cover WAY more ground.

Then there are all the medical permits etc etc, $50 here, $100 there… but you get it all done as you can! :D

Commericial pilot is a different deal… and if you want to be an astronaut, you HAVE to atleast have your pilots license.

A pilot license is the drivers license of the next century IMO!

I see. Well, it is something I do want to do. Good thing is, I am young and do have some time to spend doing it.

Hey All,

This is about 5 minutes of color footage from WW2 aircraft.  Some of it is in action, some looks to be training.  Check it out, was pretty interesting:

Too dark, too much (useless) detail of the Hitler pic carried onto the screenie especially on the left side.
