I finally got some time with vRecon in the TA yesterday, and just wanted to say thanks. He must have spent an hour with me going over guns defense, that wicked tail slide thingie, scissors, rolling scissors, flap and throttle usage, etc. It was REALLY helpful. (Or will be, once I practice a few hundred hours more :-).
A big <S> to vRecon for using their time to help out the new guys! And that goes for everyone who does the same. I showed up there one day, trying to find trainers, there weren't any online, but wing47 helped me out all the same. To me, that's the great part of the community, not the trash-talking on ch 200 (although we need that too).
