Gday all, im a 53 year old crotchety ex grunt, did 30 years in the Australian Army as an Infantryman, ive been flying sims since Commodore 64, i dont take myself too seriously and love to talk about anything, im like everyone else and have opinions and love to banter back and fro. Ive been into DCS sims since the A10 and have myself a bloody nice pit that some would like to kill me for, especially my wife....

What can I contribute ?  I have dabbled in the skinning world and produced a skin for the A10C, and those that have been following the forums will see my latest project in cahoots with Aussieboy was to make the new DCS Logbooks for Australian RAAF and Australian Army Aviation Corp, which have now been taken up by DCS to include in the next major patch to be part of the DCS sim package, so us Aussies get a rightful place in the countries represented. I also have years of real life experience of flying in the Huey (The Angry Palmtree), Chooks and BlackHawks  as a soldier from doing admin moves to varying levels of air ops. Ive rappelled and fast-roped from them and remember fondly the experiences, and especially hearing that angry chunky noise of a chopper coming from the distance to pick up a dirty filthy tired bunch of grunts to take us home.

I love flying the Huey sim and would like to be in a group of like minded blokes who like to be sensible but not take anything too seriously, im into flexibility, having a laugh and landing my chopper smoothly. I request that i fly with whatever unit you place Highway in, im part of the package he described ... 

Best regards

Strut

Hi Strut, good to see you here. You sound like you'll fit in well.
Go to the top of the page and click on UserGroups, then request to join C Company. Most of what you need to know is in the first thread of the C Company section. Looking forward to getting in the air with you guys.

Thanks LiveBait looking forward to flying with the unit.

Wecome Strut to the Asia-Pacific Charlie company. I'll see you in the air.

Welcome on in mate, I'll catch up with you later and get you through all the packages and mods, lots of really good stuff here

Got quite a few IRL Huey pilots around here now...maybe we can get everyone here all UH-1H certified for real life now! As for me, I cant wait to hobble down to the airport and steal that nice, shiny UH-1 thats just sitting skant feet away from the road. ASk some of the IPs here for a check ride. Both GunfighterSix and Flyer are check ride certified, and we need more IPs around.  

Sorry if i wasnt clear enough in my request above Hitman, i am not a RL Huey Pilot, but i have been a RL passenger many times as a soldier.

gotcha
