Title: P38
Post by: Baloo on April 02, 2012, 12:34:17 PM
Hey there community, I'm looking for a 38 affection-ado and ace, as I'm trying to perfect it myself; I like the J's and L's, haven't tried the G's all that much...I've been flying perhaps a few months and I "think" I have the basics down. I'm trying to improve my ACM and gunnery specifically. On that note, I'm located in Germany but am willing to come at odd hours for some help and schooling. I can usually up M-F: 13.00-16.00 EST; Weekends: anytime. Anyone willing to teach a new dog some tricks? Hit me up!
 :noid
And yes, I've watched a gazillion videos, read all the articles - good stuff, and it's helped me a lot...I'm just looking for one on one, hands on training - to fine tune myself. Thanks in advance  :salute

I too would like some training on the 38. I am almost half decent in it,  but would love to be trained by anyone in the 80th. I have already gotten some great advise from Shuffler such as, "Try not to fly where their bullets are"  :lol . Any extra training would be extremely appreciated. i know my squaddie (dimebag) would love to learn also. The 38 is a great bird. I am not trying to step on the OP, Just wishing to be in line for training also, I could really use it.  :pray

I'd be free to work with you guys a little bit later in the evenings (as long as Dimebag isn't there  :D).  I usually log on aroud 8 pm CST.  I also think I still have film of Deliriums most recent P-38 clinic.  I'll have to check when I get home tonight.   :salute

Baloo I'm usually in the TA Saturday from 10-12 noon ET so that would be 3-5 PM GMT. I'll be away this coming weekend but you can PM me to set a time after that if you like.

My home office is almost ready, I should be back in the TA next week, although a bit rustier than normal.

The 113th Lucky Strikes, a P38 squad, is always looking for pilots to wing up for a flight, or an hour,  or an evening or to join the squad.  Check out our AH Wiki page at

We fly as Knights every Saturday evening in a late war arena, we begin operations around 7:00PM EST.  Vox 113.  CO is Gunston, XO is Traveler.

I can show you what NOT to do in the P38.  I've been perfecting my 38 flying for years and I do it as poorly as anyone.  So if you watch me and do the opposite, you should be fine :)

You fly the G.

No one cares about the G.
