Great vids.

In the second one, someones bomb line goes screwy. INS in the tomcat is tetchy and a but feeble as it's old and as such, it can wander, especially after hard turns and high g moves. It can be re-aligned in flight with, I believe 3 different methods all done by the RIO. TACAN is one method and I forget the other two, but jabbers did a good video on it. I'll try and find it and link it here.

Reminds me of the film Aliens:

"It's reading right!"
"Well you're not reading it right!"

All good but can't do that in the pilots pit with Jester. I can do everything on it using my Nav mod but I can't hook a waypoint on the TID from the front pit. Everything else I can do.
