1PM Eastern. So far I have 12 guys asking which is good and means we can get more 1-on-1 for questions. Acid (Acino - your new callsign in lieu of the lab and the misreading thing... lol) the only way to get better at form is to do it, so show up and ill work with you on that too if you need it. Again thats 1PM EST (10PM PST/ 11MST/ 12CST/ 5PM Zulu for you squiggly types). Please come with a basic familiarization of where all of the airfields are. If you can not remember them, please print a map or something so you dont have to alt-tab. Also, bring a pen and something to write on. All A/C will be A-10C for this one. We (I - ralfi will probably be snoozing) will be on around noon EST to help anyone who wants to learn to set up TARS as well. If everyone has it, we may utilize TARS. I recommend trying to set that up before the weekend rolls around. If I must assist (i.e. please put in the effort to install it yourself first) with the installation, email me and be prepared to be destroyed verbally. Just kidding. Sort of... Payload will be Lightning II on station 2. My current list of players: (all A10C, again...) 1. Adese 2. Acino 3. BadK 4. Baegel 5. Nelsong 6. Kryndon 7. CSNeon 8. IASGATG 9. experience 10. hotpocket 11. ralfidude 12. chemical hamster 13. linebacker 14. fenrisulfir

Tentative time - Saturday 16 Feb 2013 Please sign up, let me know if you are A-10C capable and if so, what your preferred time and timezone are. Syllabus: We will start off on the ground, cold-ramp-start and cover in-depth how the CDU works, we will program our own waypoints both on the ground, and make changes in flight, we will utilize advanced tactics with the TGP (Lightning targeting pod) and possibly practice deploying laser guided and GPS guided munitions on soft and hard targets. I would like to operate in flights of up to 4 if possible, and as such I would like for volunteers to post or PM me. You will be leading and teaching your flight. The live stream will be on as well for those who are completely unable to make the event. We will utilize all of the formation flight skills from the last training event :pilotfly::pilotfly::pilotfly::pilotfly: We will also cover TARS installation, set-up and use, with the goal being familiarization with proper radio communication, keeping appropriate comms inside each flight, and then utilizing FM-band VHF to talk between flights. As always, thanks in advance for the interest and participation. If anyone has any questions please ask here so that others may see and learn from the answer. linebacker

The server will be titled =]H[= FWS Formation Flight Training or "FFT" if that doesnt fit. I will put whatever jet you feel comfortable flying into the mission, A-10A, A-10C, eagles, russian jets, mustang, the like. Just let me know what aircraft you want and if you want to try and show up. You dont have to be in cockpit, but that will be available if you so wish. Additionally, we will utilize the 104th's teamspeak as guests to them. Please obey their rules and treat them with respect. Their teamspeak server gives us greater capability than our own clan's recent switch to ventrilo does. If anyone is unable to attend, but would still like some coaching or practice, please just mention what times would be good for you and we will work something out.

Greetings (Ladies and) Gentlemen. :smartass: This weekend, Saturday Feb. 2nd from 6PM to 8PM eastern time, Ralfidude and myself will be hosting the Hardcore Fighter Weapons School's first formation flying class.
