Well the guy changed his name to Biggles after people kept on asking him if his name was poo-face or poof-ace.


 :rofl  That would be a very important distinction.

We meet there at the beginning of every squad night.  I've never done 1 on 1 there with a trainer, but it didn't take me too long to shake off the rust from many years away from flight sims.

Just curious, How many of you have NEVER been to the training arena?
And how long have you been playing the game?

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

I go to the TA quite frequently, can't say it helps though  :D.  I usually go to the TA just to hang out with my good friends from the 332nd.  I'd say, to me, doing what I do there (shootin the **** and debating on things) is the greatest aspect of the game.

In a year of playing, TA once to practice dive bombing and twice in the DA for some training. And it shows :uhoh

Ive had a look in there and did a pass or two with buffs when we had the old bombing system. Been here since 2000.

I went to the TA once to get help on barrel rolls but the trainer, WW, who said he'd be there wasn't. 

I was there. Unfortunately, not until some time after you left... My apologies.

My work schedule changed, meaning I wasn't getting home to 10 PM some nights. However, since my priority engineering project is completed, I expect to be on my normal schedule again after this week. That means Tuesday thru Thursday, 9 PM to 11 PM. Look me up then.

Been to the training area maybe twice and playing off and on since 2000, same goes for the DA.

I spent all of my 2 weeks in the TA and still go in there once in awhile.
