  1. Location: USA (UTC-6) Language: English Other languages: N/A Accent: None, but can recapture my Midwest/Southern accent. Experience: Current USAF Pilot and former Air Traffic Controller. I've done VOs on Operation Piercing Fury and The Museum Relic. Recording Equipment: Professional Mic/Pop Filter Voice: Male, medium-low pitch
  2. I honestly don't think I really deserve them, but I do want them. I don't have rudder pedals and my Saitek stick feels so cheap and flimsy. I would like to upgrade, but having a wife and kids has a wallet-draining effect. Cheers
  3. They're just testing the suspension.
  4. I'm from the US, but those AAF skins are very nice!
  5. I wish I would have watched your tutorial on my instrument check a few weeks ago. Good news, though. I passed! I probably won't be able to do the campaign immediately once it's released due to training, but I will as soon as I'm able.
  6. The human pilot was not an actual fighter pilot, but just an Air Battle Manager who flew in the back of aircraft and gave callouts. This article is a bit misleading.
  7. There we go! I'm a part of the 4th FW right now and I get to see the legacy of the 334th everyday. Fourth but First!
  8. This is exactly what I've been waiting for. I'll be occupied with my full-time job for the next couple months, so that'll help the wait. Cheers!
  9. Oh, lord... The E6B! It was a great piece of tool for its time, but I use ForeFlight in the RL now.

    Midway through UPT it splits into two separate tracks: T-1 (tanker/transport) or T-38 (fighter/bomber). With T-1s you're stuck with tanker/transport, but with 38s the entire fleet is open. Track selection as well as aircraft assignment is based off of needs of the AF and preference. You can have more preference based on your performance. So, the #1 guy/gal will have top preference, but ultimately, it is dependent on Big Blue's requirement. If I end up tracking 38s, A-10 is my #1, then F-22, T-38 Agressor, F-15C, F-35, F-16, F-15E, B-1 If I track Tones: C-17 is #1, then AC-130 and whatever else as long it's manned.
  11. I think it would be really cool to have some Strike Eagle skins for the C model. I've always liked the "dark greys" as they call them here. The third picture is a Seymour Johnson bird. It's like like a 335th Chief green tail. I control those jets here at SJ and think it would be cool to see their liveries on a C.

    I've been enlisted for nearly 10 years and got tired of only talking to the jets and wanted to fly them. I drained my Tuition Assistance for 2 consecutive Fiscal Years and took a lot of CLEPs and DSSTs to finish my associate's and bachelor's in just over a year. Pell Grant helped with the few classes that were more than my TA could cover. Shortly after completing my degree and earning my PPL with an Instrument Rating, I applied for commissioning. I rolled the dice and applied "pilot-only", but fortunately they thought I had what it takes and accepted me into training. I start Officer Training School on 7 July and report directly to pilot training in September. There are pros and cons to prior-enlisted Os and out-of-college Os. I've seen really good leaders out of both pools and, conversely, I've seen really poor examples of prior-enlisted Os that were bad NCOs to begin with. You can't really paint with such a broad brush.

    F-15E?

    I can ask around. I'm at a strike eagle base.
  17. I'm am very, very impressed. Great job!
  18. "120s are OP! 120s are OP! Get rid of 120s and it'll be fair." Ok. Done. OP 120s are gone. "...." "...." "AIM-7s are OP! AIM-7s are OP!"
  19. Pikey, I've flown the Hawk quite a bit in the last round and a few times this round. The Hawk's Intel runs are really nice now, especially for FARPs. It takes coordination for the Airfields though since there is usually AA or AI fighters. Wait until the initial wave of CAS makes it way through and you can usually sneak in. Fighters should have the AI fighters distracted enough to let the bombers find targets.
  20. Land of No Slack! 173rd!
  21. Hahaha this is hilarious. I am fine with the (very few) flaws in BF; I sure as hell couldn't make this work (especially for free). I just love all of the teenagers raging on each other. You don't like it? Fly elsewhere or create your own. At least offer productive/constructive criticism. No one takes individual seriously who only complain, but offer no resolution or help. Jog on.
