A squaddie has been asking for help in fighters. I saw him in the MA today and offered to play around in the TA. I consider myself a semi-adequate dweeb, but tried to help anyways.
We launched and played tag.
Ren, an AH trainer, non-intrusively asked if anyone in the arena had any questions. I told him our situation and asked if he'd care to join us. He accepted.
Ren was gracious and generous with his time. He worked with three of us. Frankly, he wore me out. I flew and watched and listened as he worked with others. I flew, watched, and listened as he worked with me. I rode as an observer in his plane. We sat in the tower and talked.
His patience and enthusiasm never flagged. My brain finally felt as if I was drinking from a firehose. He'd have kept on. I had to quit to let it sink in.
In all my time in AW and AH, I'd never worked with a trainer. {Insert jokes here, you jerks.} If the other trainers are like Ren, flying and talking in the TA will be a rewarding experience. Try it.
Ren.
HONK!
