Eagler, forgive my brainfartiness, but were you not the F15 driver in your career?
If so, are you still in TX?

That would be me.

I retired (22 yrs USAF) a few years ago and now I'm flying for Southwest, living in the LA area.  Basically throwing fistfulls of cash into the fire buying SoCal lifestyle for the family and kids, because I can.

Howdy eagl! Glad you're a pilot, and a good company to work for! I retired from BA 3 years ago. My work started to interfere with our hobbies so wife called it quits at 54 and I was 57 when we cashed our chips in.

Howdy Ripsnort and eagl!

Great to see you both!

Need to get a good vr headset and try AH!

It's the best ww2 a2a action going these days IMO.

Wow swoop and hblair!

Howdy guys- you all are needed in MA. :)

I'd suggest investing in VR as AH implementation of it is better than any other flight sim IMO

From the left that's Phantom4, Puck, Rip, Mox, Curval at the front and I'm the tall handsome one with the glasses at the back trying to be funny.
