IL46_Pilot Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I purchased IL-2 1946 4 days ago, and well my flying is not what i want it to be. So i signed up for Joint Ops flight School, i was not excepted due to my age(16). From their Quote
JensenPark Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Well, being 16 you might be a bit too mature for this crowd...but seeing as you have the same name as a 109 variant, I guess we can overlook that. Dear Leader BlairGowrie , AKA BG will contact you I assume. If you are accepted you'll get an honourary rank of Colonel, and given a picture of BG to place in your room for further worshipping. Quote
Quazi Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I have already talked with BG before sending this m8 over to register. He seems hungry to learn and I am inviting him to fly with the HH as a guest on Saturday evenings as well. I just felt like he was being held back from learning at JO due to his age. And given the HH has had a teenager with them for the last four years, actually picked him up when he was 12, that it wouldn't be an issue (I hope. Only time will tell). But I did approach BG first and got his permission to allow this young man to fly as a guest with you guys. He was a bit skiddish about his age. But if the young m8 is anything like Emann, he will get along fine with the older crowd. I told him there were none better to learn from. And I honestly mean that. I do not know of any other squadron(s) with as many JO students as this one. I mean where else are you going to find this many JO students and two instructors in one place outside JO? No where I tell you. And even as small as the HH are, we have two out of eight m8s active in JO. I am looking forward to meeting and flying with you Emil. Quote
Shadow Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Hi pilot Welcome to the kennel I see you were getting a bit of a hard time over on the UBI forum. Quote
GreyKnight Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Welcome 46/Emil, I just read you entire thread on ubi and I echo what Shadow said. Those guys sure are paranoid over there!?!? Quote
Blairgowrie Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I was very pleased to see that DD_Bun-Bun has been giving you some private instruction Pilot. He was the one who tutored me when I first started flying il2 and I remember him trying to get me to shoot properly as I flew around in a P-39N while he acted as a drone. Usually we do not accept pilots under 18, but you come highly recommended by Quazi and like others here, was also impressed with the maturity you displayed on the thread at UBI Zoo http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 4871034645 I think it is probably best that we keep you as a guest for the time being. If the group and yourself gets along well we can make the appropriate adjustment, sometime down the road. I will send you an email and add you the DD email list so that you know our flying times etc. Welcome aboard m8 and please cover your ears when the comms talk gets raunchy. Sometimes even I get shocked. bg Quote
Fireman Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Welcome aboard, I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself here. There is a great bunch of guys here with a wealth of knowledge to share. Don't let BG fool you though.......I think when he says he's shocked by some of the language/conversations around here, I think he's just shocked that it was he, himself (using his outside voice) and would rather just drop the subject...........

Fireman Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Well, I just finished reading the post on the UBI Zoo......... What a mess....... Legit or not, when questions get posted on the UBI forums 9 out of 10 times they get answered. Quote

Bun-Bun Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Pilot, if you want to spend some time online on the weekends send me an email. I still have some good training Coops. Now, which pasture are the sheep in today? Quote
JensenPark Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Bun-Bun? The ancient Dog Sea Scrolls tell of a Bun Bun. Quote
Bun-Bun Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Hey Kelly, how are the boys doing? I wrapped up the job that was eating all my time and I'm heading for one that'll only take seven/twelves so I'll have a little free time. I'll have to get online to see if I can still fly. Quote
Cold_Gambler Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Hey Bun-Bun! Great to see you around- Hope all is well at your end of the continent... I don't fly as much as I used to since Sebastien's arrival but I hope to catch you one of these days. And... Welcome, Pilot Quote
erco Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 Welcome 46/Emil, I just read you entire thread on ubi and I echo what Shadow said. Those guys sure are paranoid over there!?!? Quote
