Default RE: Comming back to planes...maybe

Yeah, i dont have/never had the AFS turned on in the sim or real life. AFS will be gone tonight anyways when i put the 8ch reciever in the nexstar. I've pretty much flown every bird in the sim. Can do nice 3d with the helis and some of the plane (sim is Realfight G3, btw) ... The onlything that doesnt interest me in the sim is the gliders (Yaaaaaawnn!) ... i think my favorite things to fly as far as planes is the cessna look alike and the mustang...but in real life ill stick to the nexstar and my venture for a while...

I will get help, and you still cant fly there without being cleared...even though its not a club, the navy did set rules that follow AMA guidlines...we have multiple jet fliers there so they do keep an eye on what you do.

It wasnt so much a lack of people willing to help, but a lack of people willing to get the timing right. I take some of the blame for it...they let us fly there thursday, sat, and sunday...the job i had at the time i was working wed-sat ... so i could only come on sundays..and saturdays were always busier...

Im going to go back as optimistic as possible and hope for the best...now i can fly on thursdays after work, and on both weekend days, so my chances are much better.

I did like the atmosphere there before...i mean, how many other feilds can say that everynow and the the navy guys tell us to shut it down for an hour or 2, and you just get to sit back and ralax for a bit and watch real f-18s doing touch and goes 100 yds away...

Here's a view of the field...
