Nute Gunray Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 You should have claimed "Tidewater" instead of VA Beach@! Then you could have gotten the Naval Operations Base and Naval Air Station in Norfolk, the shipyard in Newport News, Fort Henry at Cape Henry (I think it's Henry. I HAVE NOT BEEN THERE IN SOME TIME and have no map at the moment), the ANG fighters at Norfolk Intl, and the Air Force base in Langley! But no, you only get Oceana NAS, Camp Pendleton MCAS (i think it's MCAS), and Little Creek Naval Amphib Base! i was conceived in Virginia Beach. Does that count? ps i forgot Fort Eustis.
Guest garyah99 Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 I live about 4 Kilometers from CFB Trenton, Canada's largest Air Base. In fact, I work there
Nitro Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 Originally posted by Lujayne Nirto Nice spelling. And yes, Moose Jaw is a base... Specifically, the base the Snowbirds fly out of.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 If you could get me a pic of the Auroras, you will be my god. and for clarrification, i'm a bit rusty on secret government projects, but the Aurora is the US Militaries new Spy plane, isn't it?
Nitro Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 Actually, it's Canada's main ASW aircraft... Much like your P-3 Orion.
Nute Gunray Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 Aurora is also a prototype hypersonic...something. I doubt it actually exists. And if it does AURORA wouldn't be it's name. The military seems to like to give two words to things, like Desert Storm or HAVE BLUE.
Guest garyah99 Posted January 17, 2002 Posted January 17, 2002 Yes, Moose Jaw is an Air Base, I was posted there for 3 years. and the CP 140 Aurora is exactly like a P-3 Orion. They're the same aircraft.
Nitro Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 I was pretty sure from just looking at it, but I didn't want to say it was, be wrong, and look like a dumbass... Or at least a bigger one than I usually am.
Zargon Posted January 18, 2002 Posted January 18, 2002 Originally posted by Nitro I look like a dumbass... Or at least a bigger one than I usually am. That would be quite the feat!
Nitro Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 No kidding! It's like trying to beat your old "Chubby Bunny" record of 67 marshmellows... <small><font color=white>If you don't know what "Chubby Bunny" is... Well, then you haven't lived!</font></small>
Zargon Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 dude, how many times have I had to correct you, its was <b>69</b> damnit!
Nitro Posted January 19, 2002 Posted January 19, 2002 Weel, at least SOMEONE knows what Chubby Bunny is...
Lujayne Posted January 20, 2002 Posted January 20, 2002 Lol!! Nirto... ^_^ Cracken, you wanted pics? This is an Aurora, isn't it? It looks a little dif. than I remember, though. Gary, I didn't know you lived in Moose Jaw! ...Or did I? O_o Did you know that people have died while playing Chubby Bunny? They choked on their own vomit...
Lujayne Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 It ain't? To which Aurora were you referring? This is the one from the Discovery Channel show. ^_^
Guest garyah99 Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Lujayne; I was in Moose Jaw from 1982 - 1985. That picture may be of an experimental aircraft, but the Aurora that we use in Canada is a 4 engine turboprop that is primarily used for Electronic or anti-submarine warfare. <font color=blue>Let's see if I can get this image thing right:</font>
Guest garyah99 Posted January 21, 2002 Posted January 21, 2002 Well the image tag didn't work:rolleyes: , but at least th elink take you to the right picture. THAT'S a CP-140 Aurora.
Guest garyah99 Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Geee....Thanks guys. Now if one of the mods would be so kind as to explain what I did wrong????
edlib Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Did you use the IMG tag before and after the url? Edit: I see you did by clicking on Quote on you post. But I believe you used the wrong brackets. < and > instead of [ and ]
