Hello my name is Cactus (callsign that is)...and I'm a FlightSim addict. I've held this addiction since 2013 and require group interventions...

Mainly flew Jets for the whole time, but grew an appreciation for helos with the Mi-8 (love heavies).

I am from Colorado Springs, CO and mainly fly Wednesday and Friday nites and some weekends (a lot more on other days due to coronovirus).

Had a passion for aviation, just never been medically qualified to persue it.

Own all the helo modules and use a warthog w/ Trackir.

Do I need to reopen another account or can you guys change my name...read the name requirement after I registered.

Hello Cactus, welcome to the 229th. You’ll find all the guys here very friendly and super helpful so I’m sure you’ll definitely have a great time here at the 229th.

I’ve approved your application and associated you to A Company. So all we need to do now is get you up in the big blue on our server. (FYI, the company ID only serves as an identification of what timezone you are in, we all fly together as a team regardless of what company we are in).

To get the ball rolling, below is a 24 hour link to our Discord channel where we all hang out every day and link up to plan a flight or just chew the fat.
It’s also the best place to get all the help you need to get set up to fly on our servers. So join up soon and come say hello… definitely don’t be shy, as I said we’re all a very friendly bunch.

Also, as you’ll have a few things to set up to get on our servers, below is a link to the 229th Wiki page where you will find all the information you could ever ask about the 229th and getting all set up.

Don’t panic too much about the setup as once you’re on Discord we’ll get one of the guys in your timezone to buddy you through the process.

Look forward to having a fly with you very soon mate,
