A great site

Post by :FI:Ghost » Thu Mar 22, 2007 4:29 pm

I found this site a couple of days ago, and I must admit I was happy as a clown when I saw all those video clips of russian airplanes... I have downloaded some of them and they are trully remarkable (especially the MIG 29 Demo video).

I warmly recommend this site for all that share love for russian aviation...

Good find Boris, thanks! :) But the video showing Venezuela buying russian jets disturbs me. I know it's business and all, but the purchase just makes the region here a bit more dangerous. :x

I don't think you should be afraid of Venezuela. The only reason they are buying russian airplanes is to protect themselves from the possible US attack (of course, whether they can or cannot defend themselves is a matter for a separate discussion).

He bought weapons from Russia because the US placed an embargo on the spare parts for their F-16s. Their aircraft could scramble from bases and reach here in 15-30 minutes.

Well, they claimed the islands were once part of the mainland, and we got lots of OIL! Then there's the fishing disputes. We aren't exactly on bad terms but you never know what can happen with a commie dictator. I just don't trust Hugo Chavez.

I just love their women. Man, they're the best! But if you try to date one of them you'll have to take the WHOLE family out too. And when they have one child they balloon up big time! :shock: Just ask me Uncle, he married one of them. :lol:

My apologies for the political rant but anyone who tries to take away the old AB's freedom is gonna get a troop of pissed offf Howler moneys armed with heat-seeking coconuts.

I kinda wish we'd buy some MiG-29s. Man, they look good. Or maybe some Hind gunships. We're supposed to get 2 Apaches from Israel. 8)

Hey, Boris when are you gonna get your butt down here. The ladies ain't gonna wait forever you know. :lol:

Altar-just love paragraphs-Boy. :lol:

You are right about Venezuelan girls, they are bloody hot.. There was that venezuelan TV series, a very stupid one, but I watched it only because of a beautiful girls that played in it, one especially beautiful...

As far as my arrival is concerned, I don't think that will be any time soon, cause I am still in college, and still in 1st year (although I was suppose to be in 3rd) and I don't think I would be able to stay in T&T if I don't graduate from college, right??
