Patiently waiting for my 50ppd Super to finish beta and ship. Hopefully all these lessons learned on the Lite will transfer.

Welcome to the forums, Kira. Our CO will have some onboarding type emails to you soon. Congratulations on your child! MiG-21s and MSFS bush flying are two of my favorite things, too. I'm pretty sure you'll find our group fits quite a lot of your listed items.

That is exactly why they do it. The motto we've come up for it is: "We automate so you don't have to educate."

This is a lot like the aircraft I fly for work. All the warnings, cautions, and alerts are overly simplified giving the operator very little to do but land as soon as possible or practicable, depending on severity. I hate it.

Already bought, too many RL experiences to pass up.

I am confused by your offense.

Found this in a copy of Mad Magazine spoofing Star Wars.

Absolutely cherish my copy, too. My favorite story is the mouse during his bomber intercept. I need to reread this.

Hell, a jumpseater was recently a liability. If a 2 person flight crew can’t handle it, what does a guy in back think they’ll be able to do. If they come back and ask, sure I’ll step up. I’ll crash anything I don’t have a dime in.

There’s an old silo on southern Arizona I remember visiting as a kid, right outside Tuscon where I grew up. Still have vivid memories of the pale green walls. https://titanmissilemuseum.org/

Looks great, I think Vonrd was pointing out something similar. Hopefully he’s still making these in 8 months!

The RIO’s nick is “CLUELES” with one S, probably part of the joke. The pilot later became the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but I couldn’t confirm his c/s.

Hi Catseye, long time! By "aircraft platform" are you asking what simulator we're flying on or specific models? I'll let the 2. Staffel answer as to where, just seeking clarification.

Anyone who’s ever talked on an ATC radio can do GCI voiceovers fairly well. I would volunteer if I was home, unfortunately my recording quality out here is very basic.

TIL: Cal Worthington was an USAAF B-17 pilot and flew 29 missions over Germany in WWII.

One of my favorite creators. Little fact, we were at the same base in ‘09-‘10, working out at the same gym. He even walked through my office and hangar at some point (he was a fireman conducting an inspection). A few years ago we talked about drones and connected the dots. Not sure why he would limit it unless it has something to do with age restriction because some of his jokes are definitely R-rated.

I’ve been flying the Viper and doing my best to learn AAR on the boom. I can verify that the lights are on prior to contact in the current version of the sim.

I got you.

I like this one, a lot in a single place.

Erhardt, these would be a lot easier to look up later in a single thread.

These guys were on my plane from ATL to SYR, yesterday. I didn't recognize any of them but knew they were a rock band by their various styles. The drummer fit the bill the most. Definitely look nothing like what I remember:

It would be a fantastic area to RP cold war events.

My favorite model of my favorite aircraft of all time (the F-4 specifically). I need to get up to Ottawa to see it in the museum.

I'm apparently still on 62, so I'm good.
