This is just an amazing opportunity for the community, I know not everyone wants to play as a Rio, but for those of us who do, getting training and info from a real life top gun instructor. Damn, I never thought that would happen.

 

Hell I know I’m still gonna be rubbish at it, but at least now I know I’m rubbish with no excuse. :D :D

Please leave the videos up in your channel (youtube or twitch) to let us watch it later as we have not compatible timetables for the shows. Thanks!

 

Yes please to this ^ as it will be in the early hours of the morning here in the EU, and this old fart needs his beauty sleep ;)

Huge thanks for putting this together, just finished watching the twitch feed at work. Sshhhh don’t tell anyone. ;)

 

Was a great little session, and got some nice little tips from Bio. He really sounds like a great guy and I’m impressed that he’s willing to give his time up for us.

 

He’s certainly sold another copy of his 3rd book now, already have his other 2.
