Hello all, I would be interested in hooking up with you guys maybe flying a few coops to see if this would be a place i could feel at home,and to see how the members here feel about me after a few coops.I fly more for the immersion so i normally only fly in cockpit limited icons speedbar.I am not or probably never will be a great combat ace when it comes to dogfighting but give me a ground target and a P-47 and I do alright. I am an ex USAF crew cheif been flying sims since the 80's mostly off line stuff.
I have got a couple of years in IL2, and i really enjoy flying coops more than just dog fighting all the time would really like to get involved with the online wars and a good squad campain. I already use teamspeak and vent. so comms is no problem.I haven't flown much the last few months so i am just a touch rusty but would like to get involved and do some flying over the weekend. I live in the eastern part of the US. so 9pm est time thru the week is about as late as i can fly, work comes early every morning. Hope to talk to you all soon ~S!!

Hee hee. Don't worry I'm just like you a bit rusty so we may be both cannon fodder when we meet those mad sheep fighters in the sky. Say, what kind of planes you were associated with when you were in the service?

Tonopah,

F4's, you're dating yourself, with a nick like 'Tonopah' you must have been stationed at Nellis? Anyway's, join in on HyperLobby just about anytime. We're always flying Sundays. Contact FI:Falcon for enlistment information. We'll need four notorized copies of the enlistment application, a gazillon dollar non refundable filing fee, and a copy of your last twenty APR's. (joking!)

Igor da 'retired USAF'

Hmmmm...

You guys need to get laid...and fast! :lol:

Tonopah it's cool to be around those jets. But they won't let me near 'em 'cause I have a tendency to keep switching those master arm and fire switches. :lol:

I take it

Altar Boy that you have not yet made the 'trip to the altar'?

Marriage is a barren desert whein the only oasis exist on a saturday afteroon in the nearest mid-sized town when you get a few hours of ogling in

:)

Or drinking, of course... best when you can combine both activities though. One ogles much more effectively with some sustenence :)
