birdstrike Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) are there actually people around, who prefer to take the backseat in the tomcat, that are still in search of a pilot? would love to have a human RIO to fly with me, but all my buddies prefer the take the pilot's seat, just like me. so we would need to expand our team with RIOs. :) i thought its worth a try to ask.

bonesvf103 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I fly both seats equally, so as a RIO, I can direct the pilot a bit better since I know how to fly the plane and know my way around his cockpit. I'd be interested in lending a RIO hand, though I am still studying the intricate nuances of the backseat. Basic targeting and dropping ordnance is not a problem. Also am in the process of replacing my video card so things at first in MP are slow to render but afterwards they catch up and work fine. Am in the US, Central time. Can speak Spanish, French, and some Polish but preferred language is English, especially when someone launches a missile at us! v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

WhiteJester Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) I recently learned to RIO and its been a heck of a lot of fun! if anyone wants/needs someone who is semi-competent in the backseat, shoot me a PM! edit: I actually prefer being in the backseat compared to the pilot, its a lot less stressful most of the time lol Also worth noting is my time of availability: I usually hop on around 2000 or 2100 CST (GMT -5). Solid English preferred. I don't mean to discriminate, but IMO people should try and fly with people who have the same first language as I imagine its much better in intense situations.
