Name that Game

[Robert Maxwell]

It looks kind of like Lock-On (or one of its expansions/sequels), but I'm not sure.

 

[captcalhoun]

Lock-On: Modern Air Combat?

 

[Rett Mikhal]

Wings Over Vietnam is correct. Extra points if you can name the fighter plane depicted.

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Pretty sure that's an F-4.

 

[Sephiroth]

Thats an F-4

and now for a game I'm currently playing

 

[B.J.]

I'd take points *off* if you *couldn't* name that very-well-known plane.

 

[captcalhoun]

F4E Phantom II, the Wild Weasel variant isn't it?

 

[Rett Mikhal]

I should have known people would know the Phantom. I should have posted a picture with the Crusader, that's a real aviation geek test.

Plus the Crusader is better in many ways, but who can hate on the Phantom?

 

[Robert Maxwell]

Personally, I love the Warthog, but I'm weird.

 

[captcalhoun]

i love the Warthog, too, especially since Transformers gave it it's cinematic debut...

 

[B.J.]

Really?!? It hadn't been in any movies before then? That's.... surprising. Thirty years in the air force before seeing it on the big screen.

 

[captcalhoun]

's what it said on wikipedia, sure i don't remember seeing it in anything.

and then of course, there's the RAH-66 Comanche which appeared in Hulk but never actually made it into service....

 

[Jono]

^ Where on Wikipedia does it say Transformers 2 was the A-10's first appearance on film?

 

[captcalhoun]

it wasn't 2, it was 1 and i can't find it, maybe it was on another site...i know i saw it somewhere.

 

[Jono]

Sorry, TF1. I could swear the A-10 appeared in 1996s Courage Under Fire helping cover the extraction of the downed chopper crew in that movie.

Anyway, I'm sidetracking this thread...this is name that game not aircraft used in films.

 

[captcalhoun]

wikipedia does say that A-10s are in Courage Under Fire. obviously, i haven't seen that and so whichever site i read it on, was wrong.

 

[Reverend]

^Don't worry it was rubbish. Meg Ryan playing a squaddie? Pffft. But yeah, definatly had an A-10 in there. As I recall though they had the sound all wrong. They made it sound like a jet where anyone that's been around an A-10 knows they sound like a clapped out lawnmower making love to a rhino.


Anyway, the game....uh...Don't have a clue! Anyone else?

 

[Sephiroth]

the image again cause you guys have gone overboard

 

[Reverend]

^I think a clue would be more helpful at this point. The poor crickets are getting run over by all the tumble weed.

Quite. I still know what the shot looks like.
