Newbie "friendly" squadrons

[grimdar]

This is just a little rant. I won't name anything specific but as a newbie it's incredibly frustrating trying to find a squadron/group to fly with. Many of them claim to be newbie friendly, yet when you join and ask for any help all you hear are crickets.

 

If you're going to run a squadron and don't have time for new people, that is totally fine, but don't call yourselves "newbie friendly" when in reality no one in the squadron even has time to fly with a newbie.

I am just curious, what planes are you interested in?

If you are going to fly F-14 soon I have a home for you :)

We are really "newbie friendly" and we even not a squad - we are a group for casual flying.

 

 

We use USSR/Russia planes especially Mig-21, L-39 (incl crew flights), Ka-50, Mi-8. And can help you with them with pleasure.

 

 

For your choise you can take part in different levels:

1. Super easy with humour and fun like THIS.

2. Medium - an example HERE.

3. Hard - see HERE.

If you are into helicopters the Black Shark Den is the place to go. I wouldn't really call us casual though and I won't lie all the information we throw at you is probably pretty intimidating but the culture I have seen with our pilots is truly amazing. Our pilots are very quick to help when help is needed. We strive to provide all the essential information to get new guys up and flying as quick as possible.

 

So if you are looking for more serious group to help you improve check us out.

I get what you're saying, but can you answer me this.

 

How active are you? Do you fly once a week, or multiple times a week?

How new are you? Can you start the jet, taxi, take off and land?

Are you willing to learn or increase what your taught by practicing on your own?

What are you flying? Hornet?

What time zone?

 

Most wings will not waste time on someone who flies once a month. If you're active shoot me a PM.

I fly at least twice a week. I typically fly the F-18, I can cold start, taxi, ACM, ground targets, land (still working on landing on a deck).

I'm PST zone.

Send me a PM and I'll speak to the power to be at our wing to see if we can take another recruit.
