Hi Guys,

I’m 47, living in Hungary. I started flying sims in it’s stone age, with F-18 Interceptor (Amiga) and Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat . You name it, I tried pretty much every one of them all along, however very little multiplayer (some Falcon BMS). No doubt MP is the closest anyone can ever come to real life in a flight sim.

Welcome Razor, I hope to be able to meet up with you on TS soon, should be on later today and tomorrow.
Here is a slightly out of date welcome letter

Hey Cib,

sitting in TS Open Lobby. Skullz and Gizzy are in Officer's Club but I can't enter to ask them how to proceed. Invitation letter said logiebee would be my commanding officer, but finding him by search said his last visit was in 2015. So whom should I ask for any TS permission?

Just poke one of the guys in the pilots lounge and get em to drag you in for now.

Welcome to the Cav

I see your sorted, my wife is being high maintenance tonight sorry be online tomorrow hopefully catch up then

No prob, Commanding Officers have ALWAYS priority...

Hi Razor,

Welcome aboard...

Nice to meet you the other night....

Hi Gizzy,

the pleasure was mine! :-)

Be advised, for deconflicting radio comms when Razorback is flying too, I changed my nickname to Blade. Thanks!

rgr Blade.... I changed your Name on the forums/account area. All sorted.

Welcome Blade...I look forward to flying with you...

Blade I believe after flying with you last night your more than ready to sit your check flight. Pm me some dates your available and times and I will organise it with an IP

Thanks for the kind words, except I almost got you killed with my near-autorotation landing as lead and you in #3 with no margin to play with, plus lack of comms due to task saturation at a hot LZ insertion...

Anyway I think I will make some more autorotation and slingload practice as well as slope ops and holding area reconnaisance to have some more chance to pass. Will let you know when, anyway...

Well Xtra already checked me out for Basic Wings already. See your own congratulation for me here (click)

   Maybe I'm supposed to edit something to display it in my sig?

(B/229) Blade

Your sig already has your "upgrade" to WO1 from WOC (which is usually not noted in a sig).


(WO1)-Give upon completion of basic wings  (Noted on Sig)

(CW2)-Six months of active duty as a WO1  (Noted on Sig)

(CW3)-One Year active duty as a CW2        (Noted on Sig)

(CW4)-One Year active duty as a CW3        (Noted on Sig)

(CW5)-Needs of the Unit

When the new website comes online, I hope to have an area which shows  Rank requirements  OK  ?
(Strut takes care of all Sig Rank advancements)

Hope this helps.
