Hunting the teletubbies ....

by **Ian Warren** » Wed Jul 10, 2013 8:20 pm

All these new words and places to visit , I have been to Somewherenistan where all these beer swilling slobs called teletubbies bulged out at us ... you will need a more powerful weapon system to surgically take these out and a larger lifting capacity

Lovely gritty shots Marty. Is this an Asian/Middle-Eastern mesh? or local somewhere?

Im not sure where it is either Ian ..... close to nowherenistan i think . Ive just got the Area 51 MH-47 , and that has a real badass gun on it (the crowd pleaser , as its known) will screen later.

DANG, they really are great. Reading Sweating the Metal huh?

Another good read is the one written by a British Apache pilot, the title eludes me at the moment though.
Love those shots. Very realistic.

Why was i never reported in there News broadcasts ... I learned my trade hiding behind wire framed mountains ( crikey even John Key could not see me ) "JANES Longbow" was the hum dinger of the time .. turned me into a real peace loving anti war machine

And if you get the chance read "immediate response " much better than "sweating the metal " .... but both good in their own right.

by **Ian Warren** » Sat Jul 13, 2013 9:03 pm

Like most Technical books , the best are the ones with actual post combat reports , these books are a great source to double cross reference and really put you in the hot seat of real action .

by **Splitpin** » Mon Jul 15, 2013 8:29 pm

The one Im reading now is real good "immediate response" ...i think a little more refined than "sweating the metal "
Is anyone aware of any Korean war true tales for my collection ?

Im going to need yet another bookcase before too long.

Yes, Apache by Ed Macy is definitely the one. Just browsed the chapter list online (I borrowed the book from a workmate) The chapter "Give me four volunteers" is pretty crazy!

Al , Macy's books are great .... you can read it, put it away for a few months .... read it again , and find something new.
