WIP - Hawaii Theatre

It seemed there were a bunch of F-15s out here around the same time as you guys. Did you get to fly against them or the local Raptors at all while you were in Hawaii?

we spent a couple days fighting both the F-15’s and F-22’s. Most of our time was spent doing CAS on the Big Island though.

Jarhead,
It’s good to see your name and your vids around here.
Has flying the bug gotten old yet?
Cheers,

Hey bud. It’s good to “see” familiar faces still hanging around F4-land. I didn’t know about this site until I stumbled across it recently. I hate Frugals went away. I’ve been busy over the years and kinda lost touch with the F4 community and simming in general. I’m on deployment right now. I’ll never get tired of flying the old “Bug” but I don’t have much time left in it…getting close for me to move on and out of the Corps in about 3 years or so. I didn’t bring my F4 CD with me out here so I’ll probably just lurk, catch up on recent F4 developments and maybe post an occasional pic or video from time to time. Take care.
Here’s a pic I captured from my helmet camera video from a recent exercise…

Hehe,
Yeah, I can’t imagine flying any fighter would get old except maybe a cross country flight, but even then you may get some refuel excitement.
The last I heard about Frugal was that real life and some server issues made getting the site back up difficult if not impossible.Sorry to hear you’ll be moving on in a few years. Many thanks for your years of service.
Cheers.

That is so ****ing cool.

So I was out surfing at Pyramid Rock on Thursday and I saw a pair of jets doing some touch and go’s after their mission. I saw the first one coming in and I was like, “WTF, that’s not a harrier!” I knew it was some older jet that I’ve seen in Thirdwire sims, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.
Anyway, it was these guys (the Hunters, not the Kfir):
It’s been pretty interesting out here the last few weeks. There were some aggressor F-16s flying out of Hickam and I saw a pair of F/A-18F’s take off from the reef runway while I was out surfing there last Monday when I shot Tom’s video.
-
that kfir is no more, along with it’s driver unfortunately…
-
On a sidenote, I ask myself which Nation’s Hunters flew at Hawaii, probably a private owned jet pack?

Tom,
It was those exact jets in the picture. There’s a company called ATAC that provides adversary services for the US military. I don’t know who they were fighting against- I would guess the Raptors out of Hickam.Speaking of Raptors, on Friday I was out there surfing and these two Raptors took off. Dude, it was so cool. The lead goes into burner on takeoff. I’m thinking that’s fairly unusual- they don’t seem to go into burner on takeoff usually. So I’m looking over there watching and I see him lift off and I’m looking at his exhaust and he’s still in burner. Just as I’m thinking, “wow, he’s really staying in burner a long time…” he pulls straight up like a damn rocket and goes pure vertical I don’t even know how high- couple thousand feet at least. Then he pulls over on his back, completes his immelman and is just gone. His wingman follows him up- straight up. Just amazing.
I shot some video of them on that day I took that other video, but you can’t really see them- they’re just little specks. That camera only takes good video close up.

Yea, sounds like he was cleared by ATC for an “unrestricted” climb to 10,000. Actually its fairly common for single ship flights with no other requirements (i.e. I’ve seen it often)

I live in the wrong place.

Aloha Nui demer928, where can I get a copy of Hawaii Theater for Falcon BMS 4.32?

I was out at Pyramid Rock on Friday and shot some video of a P-3, C-130, Hunter, and C-17 all in one session. There was also a little business jet (C-21?) doing touch and goes, but I didn’t get any video of him. It was quite busy.
Yesterday I was at the pool on Hickam with the kids and 6 Raptors did the break and then flew right over our heads on the downwind leg in the pattern. Too cool. That is such a good-looking jet.

Did it have tip tanks?
-
The business jet? No…
I found it- it was this guy from Hickam (C-37A):

Thanks,
