Back Home and flying once again

[ctguy1955]

I took a job in Malta New York and have been away from my computer for a month.

The first thing I did when I sat at my pc was to buy the SaberJet on sale and messed

around with it for a half hour or so. I hope that eventually they do a tutorial on how

to set up for take off like they did for the P-51. I woke up this morning and flew

the saber again and just loved the feeling of speed and then decided to try out my

P-51 and I took off and flew it great !!! Landing I need more practice, as I bent

a wheel upon landing, but it felt so good to be able to take off like a pro as I think

I spent 5 hours learning how to take off without flipping over and crashing.

 

Guess its like riding a bicycle, once you know how, it comes back easy.

 

I was going to bring my pc to my hotel room upon going back to NY, but decided

the risk of it being stolen or a fire was not worth it.

 

I can tell you how much I missed flying as before I left, I only had 10 hours of learning

time and had bought a new madcatz hotas X52 and was still learning.

 

I have never enjoyed the thrill of going on multiplayer and flying missions with others

but look forward to doing so someday, when I leave NY to come back to CT. Not much

work available here and Global Foundries has work for years to come. Im going to retire

in two more years and I need the pension credits to have my 30 years.

 

Clear Skies my Brothers and I miss you all very much.

I find if you've taxied from the tarmac, the nose wheel can be slightly askew during takeoff so I do hold the button for the first 50 kts to straighten out the wheel.

 

I do try to make the nosewheel as straight as possible though before the takeoff run.
