Hi All!
Former Army Aeroscout Observer here.  Live in IL, and I feel the need, the need for NOE!  Thanks!

Pls disregard last from PandaFlight. I removed head from a** and am now in processing correctly.

Hey Aeroscout, welcome mate and of course Merry Xmas as well.
If you’re a rotor head like everyone here at the 229th, you’re sure to have a great time. Really friendly bunch of people and super helpful as well.

I don’t have enough knowledge to get you all going, so normally I would say "The instructors all monitor this channel closely, so it won’t be long till one of them comes along and gets you started", but being Xmas Day, you might have to wait a day or so till one of them sobers up...
While you are waiting, we use DCS Beta version, so if you don’t have that installed and set up, you could start with that.. Also, you will need "TeamSpeak" and "Simple Radio" software as well, so you could download and install them as well.
Finally, here is a 24 hour link to our Discord channel where we all hang out, so come on over and say hello on the #General page.

Look forward to having a fly with you soon mate, have a wonderful day.
