October 27, 20242 yr comment_95324 Good evening jagdeschwader 1, It’s been a while since I took to the skies with my old squad mates. Life hit hard but all in good ways. Got my A&P license and currently maintain a fleet of Sikorsky helicopters. Second kid came along. Blah blah blah. That being said, I’m looking to get back into the skies. Eventually back into fixed wings (miss my old dreidecker)… but my career has a strong hold onto my rotorcraft brain. I upgraded my VR and just got my AH64D Apache collective from VIRPIL in the mail today. I’ve been mainly flying DCS in the Apache and the Huey. Seldomly the Hind and I have theChinook but still waiting for them to perfect the flying bus. My little crumb snatchers go to bed at 21:00 est. So I’m usually hopping into the sims around then. Would like to get some wingmen up there with me. Hope to see you soon. Salute Angry Goat Report

Congrats on the growing family! That's great news! It would be great to fly with you when you have time. Our TeamSpeak is gone. We're now on Discord: https://discord.gg/SM6Uk5XuJ2 Report

October 28, 20242 yr Author comment_95347 Oddly enough I’ve never been to the factory… even though I grew up in Stratford. Our company was the main repair station for all their commercial aircraft (S76 and the S92). Once Lockheed Martin bought Sikorsky, they sold our side of the company to Flexjet (because Lockheed just does military). Now we’re like the Uber for billionaires. But I heard there’s talks of maybe Raytheon buying out Sikorsky. But that’s all just gossip in my book until I actually see changes. If Raytheon buys Sikorsky it’d be cool because they’ll probably start up the commercial side again. Report
