Well I didn't expect this to be my first video on my Flyboy Ops YouTube channel, but was told by flight control they caught my landing into Miami today so I found it, clipped it, and put it as the first video on my new channel.

Nonsense! 

o7 Ladies and Gents,
 
I wanted to reach out and let you all know that I’ll be transferring out of JG1. This is really hard for me, as being part of this squadron has been a genuinely great experience, and I don’t have a single bad word or grudge toward anyone here. Truth be told, I’ve been thinking about this move for some time.
WWI simming, and particularly fighter warfare has always been my real passion, and I’ve reached the point where I want to fly, and concentrate my efforts with a group that’s dedicated solely to this era. That being said, @Klaiber has approved, and authorized a transfer to JGr2.  I’ve always had a love for German aircraft, so it feels right being on the next field over, opposed to heading across the mud to the other side of the lines. I’ll still be flying around the same skies, but just under a different tag from now on. 
I’m truly grateful for everything JG1 has provided me. Thank you for welcoming me in, and for everything you taught me, the laughs, and all the lessons learned along the way. You turned a brand new, green noob into a half competent pilot in a very short period. You’ve helped shape me into a better pilot and all around simmer, and JG1 will always have a special place in my heart. 
In the event of an emergency, JG1 will always be the first emergency airfield I’ll consider turning to. It will always be my second home.  It’s been an absolute pleasure flying with you all. I’ll still see you in the skies.

That just reminds me on my own habit during navigation, to say "there is a lake (or airfield or village...) in my 2 oc low "....
Would be strange to spot a village in my high 2 oc... 🤪 
(Of course, what I have in mind when I say this is "that object in my 2 oc is allready quite close, so that I need to look down to see, nevertheless that formulation is stupid and it still happens to me everytime again...) 
 

S! Guys!

Not Flying but funny 'cause it's true...

Update: Seems latest Meta Quest Update solved that Issue; I was able to fly yesterday without any workaround  

It seems that this is already a thing. Searches are bringing up numerous sites.
Although this seems like a great tool to bring history to life, I can imagine bad actors using it to alter the truth. Looks like we "live in interesting times" as the supposed ancient Chinese curse goes.
This is IMHO an example of the benign use of AI:

The internet "disabling/restarting" was a 80/20 shot for me! The firewall rule was a better option. Going forward, if I can hack out more of Meta through the firewall....lol? I also have virtual desktop, with a $40.00 router,  works fine!
Thanks

When you try to cable link, it runs on an endless loop... trying to connect to meta. Fix: Block the OculusDash.exe  "outbound" firewall rule.

Thats great news, Congratulations Barton! 👶

Happy Hannukah and Merry Christmas to All.
Please pray for peace and good will. We could sure use some.

I updated my first post, unfortunately I am only available during the day so the European time zones are when I am available. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Been kicking around, doing daily adulting stuff.  Haven't been able to get online in a while.  Wanted to participate in EiF but schedule didn't allow it. 
Miss the fight and the comradery.  The good ol days of GS and FiF.  Still have my sim rig and everything but if I don't get to use it again soon it may end up going up for sale.  Have a new addition to the family coming in late Feb or early March.  First one.  Been a long time coming.  Miss you guys!
Hope everyone's been well.  If I don't drop by before then, have a Merry Christmas!

Went to visit Mike and Cholie. Mike and I were Best Buds through High school. We were in jazz, concert and marching band and also dedicated surfers. I hadn't seen him for 47 years. He owns Cowabunga Hotel and Bungalows in San Juanico, BCS, a very remote fishing village (no post office, no Amazon delivery, no gas station, no cell service, the town just got municipal electricity 6 months ago) and EVERYONE is very friendly and seem content.
