  1. It is set up to fly Sunday one week, the Tuesday the following week and then back to Sunday again.  It started as such.. 31May Sun    09Jun Tues,  14Jun Sun and so.  The open dates on Sun and Tues we fly various Coops.   So we always fly on Sunday and Tues but the PWCG P -38 campaign is flown every other Sun and Tues. 

    Have I confused you know more so ?

  2. I was the " tail end charlie ", of this mission, caught the main group once, and went past most.  This is mostly my fault, practice and a new piece of equipment should help..

    Everything else was exciting, like how I felt when I first met the Dogz.  When Delta called us off and we started for home base, I discovered I had lost maps, had them earlier.  Also no comms with others, had them earlier with all in flight.  Perhaps these were  taken out by being hit, I did suffer a flat front tire.  Looking forward to more of these, thanks Fen.

    The mini maps were gone, I could use Shift H and get a large overview map.

     

  3. As best I can remember the first plane I flew in was a Piper Cub at the local airport

    Piper Cub.jpgNext came my helicopter years, 34.jpg  first was the H-34, Sea Horse,  in VietNam, CH-46, 46.jpgSea Knight.  The CH-53 Sea Stallion53.jpgThe UH-1 HueyUH-1.jpgOne ride in the back of a C-130C-130.jpgThat was the end of my military aircraft. While still in the Marines, I joined a local parachute club and made two successful descents before my mother put an end to that. Exited from a Cessna 182.182.jpgYears later a local businessman had a Stearman and offered a chance to sit in the empty seat.  No acrobatics but a lot of fun.Stearman.jpgAbout 9 months ago we had lot of damage from a windstorm,  a Derecho, a friend who's  brother in law took me up to see the damage to some land and spring pond.  A Husky A-1C, this was as much fun as the Stearman.  Its a challenge just getting into, crawl over the front pilots seat, carefull for the stick between your legs.  Two sets of controls.20190724_103605.jpg
