Jspec Germany Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 You may see me today. I flew a mission yesterday with a CNN film crew and they took some footage of what I do for a living. I hear it's short, but who cares. Look for a short clip about AWACS over Germany and the World Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jspec Germany Posted July 8, 2006 Author Share Posted July 8, 2006 Right on Bobbeh, I think it may be airing at the top of the hour. If you can record it to DVD, I'll send you some loot for it. I only have VHS. My mate phoned me a couple of hours ago and said he saw it. You'll like the reporter, promise. Bird from London, the kind I'd expect Ray to date.

Bobbeh Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bwhaha. M8, I cant even get the cable here to record onto VHS (knackered VCR). Although we do have a digital TV card in the other pc, maybe that can burn it - I'll investigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's International Correspondants, which airs at 0630 next. 7:30 my time. F*ck me I hate getting up early on the weekends. I've watched world news twice now and it's not been on there. AWACS,,,,, Ahhhh did'nt know you was into Magic Yeah mate, that'd be me. My last unit's callsign was "Cowboy", and before that "Chalice and Dragnet".

SupraStar 3000 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Nice one Jspec G. We always have the AWACS fly over our house from its base at waddington in Lincolnshire. Always gives me an uncanny urge to want a pizza after seeing it fly over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Cool. No idea what you're talking about in the vid, but looks like a cool job to have. Lots of buttons to bash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspec Germany Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Thanks all. Yes, you have to pay. I'd say with all my sponsorship, I'm worth about 1p right now. Tom - Pm me details of the exact type Gin so I can check. Thanks for copying it guys. I've been unable to DL or copy any I've seen. Still hoping to get it on VHS and then transfer to DVD. Suprastar - the urge for pizza is a side effect due to the radiation off the radar. That's why so many of the guys in the video are fat. Pete - I'm talking about taking two German F-4 Phantoms and telling them where to go so they can practice intercepting and identifying an unknown aircraft, i.e. a plane full of fuel/explosives headed for a World Cup match is the example given by "Becky" I believe. I should've taken some pictures of her for you guys, but forgot my camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can detach and fly it seperately from the airplane in combat situations. We got the idea from Star Trek. Inside are little green men in space suits. They all have three nipples and don't like carnival rides. Peter - come on man, there's always time for TV. Don't tell me you don't own 40+ Porn DVDs. I've seen your hands. J/k. Thanks mate.

Jspec Germany Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 C64? That would be quicker. Our displays are sh*t. Old school isn't the word, but you'd not believe what we can do with the system. We have a new mission system on the way with highly advanced computer/interface. It's all about the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
