Thank you for the warm welcome. I will do my best to hop into TS soon and get to flying. Back when I was in the squad I mentioned in my original post, our commander was Canadian, and the #2 was from the UK, so I'd feel quite at home here lol! I'm still learning the ins and outs of the IL2 GBS, so I may need some teaching to get caught up lol. My wife bought me the Thrustmaster T16000M flight system for Christmas a year ago, and I absolutely love it, although the number of buttons is insane compared to my old stick. (Saitek ST290)

Hey all. I posted in the IL2 forums that I was looking for a place to fly, and Perfesser was the first to send me a message. So I hopped over here and had a look-see around, and I like what I see. Some background...33 years old, from West Virginia USA. Both grandfathers fought in WWII and I had the honor of knowing several other WWII veterans, so anything WWII is pretty much down my alley. Been flying sims since 1998. Was a part of the CFS Eagles squad for a decade, our fliers were a mix of UK, Canadian, and US members. Didn't really do a ton of combat with CFS, we had our own scenery packages and did hops from location to location and carrier landings in F-14 Tomcats. We moved onto the original IL-2 game in the early 2000's, then Pacific Fighters. I work a fulltime job plus run my own business at home, so my attendance would be basically whenever I can. Just looking for a good fun group to fly with and to have fun being a lead magnet. I own the IL2 Battle of Stalingrad, Kuban, Moscow and Bodenplatte. I also have DCS World and the newest MS Flight Simulator. Hope to see ya on TeamSpeak soon! Chaz
