Slightly OT, but...

A squad mate of mine is a retired pilot who flew fighter jets and then airliners in Canada.  Towards the end of his flying days, planes got more and more computer assisted.  This got to the point that if you were landing too "hot" a computerised voice would urgently tell you to slow down.  Seeing as how this was in bilingual Canada, what the computer actually yelled at the pilot was "Retard! Retard! Retard!"

However, if pilots would need to do daily what they are capable of doing, nobody would dare to fly anymore."

You said you may be out of commission because of the weather...if you're around, name a time and I would love to fly gunner with you.

I should be available anytime after 4 pm PST (that's 7pm for you).  The weather has settled down here now and our new 3 billion dollar bridge is no longer actively trying to kill people with ice bombs so it should be fine.

Just to let you know, I've lined my flying cap with newspapers to prevent any "accidental" stray rounds from the back seat AND I've got a Webley that points backwards!  I've even managed to hit a plane with it once.  Yes, yes.  I'm well aware of the scurrilous rumours floating around that claim that the plane I managed to hit was my own but these were obviously spread by seditionists.

Tuna and SDR were gracious hosts. I got to fly as gunner in a Halberstat, and a Gotha, and one other plane whose name escapes me. I fired off maybe 3 shots :)

On the last mission I guess my gun jammed. I'll know for next time to hit 'R'. I think I can learn a lot by tagging along as gunner with Tuna, SDR, etc.

Gus and I in DFW with SDR flying Escort

Gus and I diving in on the Allied Fuel dump in the Halberstadt CL.II.. We got shot down by flack shortly after

Yeah, sorry that wasn't the most action packed session, Gus.  That was a pretty poor map in my opinion.  Too many targets, too spread out meant that there wasn't a lot of contact and the flak was far too accurate.

The admin said she'd be willing to set up a training session tomorrow night where we'd all fly a co-op type mission against AI pilots so you can get a feel for the controls, navigation, etc.

Gusington

Thanks man, got your PM too. I am in a bit of a pre-Christmas rush but the admin's idea sounds awesome. You guys up for it on Wed. or Thurs? Thanks for taking me under your 'wings.' You are the wind beneath mine. And other horrible metaphors.

Since there's been a revival of interest in RoF here, anyone care to say where and when they tend to fly and under what alias?

If I'm on it's usually 2000-2200 GMT/BST on New Wings Warground or Syndicate Realism, and I'm "Father Ted"

Silent Disapproval Robot

I'm up for it.  I haven't played RoF online for a few months as I've been pretty much just doing ArmA but if we can get a few guys together and find a time that works for everyone, I'm in.
