I am a former pilot for the Marine Corps and will be teaching actual Marine tactics. This is more than just a show up and fly squadron. If you want to really learn how the military works , this is the squadron for you.

tlhaskell Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 Starting ground school for the F/A-18C. If you are looking to join a new squadron and get in during the formation, I hope you will stop by our forum and maybe even join us.

=Mac= Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I went to your website and tried to register but kept getting You did not pass the security check. Please try again. So I will submit my intro here: Randall MacDonald here. AKA =Mac=. I've been flying sims since LoMac. I've been with two virtual squadrons over the years, the last one was the 104th. It's been a few years since I've flown in a squadron setting; I usually practice on the Aerobatics Online server. While I have everything that flies from Eagle Dynamics, I am most comfortable in Western aircraft. I am adept at getting the F-15C on and off the runways, the P-51D (well, most of the time), I have managed a few carrier landings with the Harrier, but I am most at home in an unarmed Huey. Because I fly lone wolf most of the time, my comms and nav abilities are limited to spelling them. I am an ex Navy ('71 to '74) squid so I understand, generally, how flight deck operations go. I did a year in Iceland with the VP squadrons (they had a nice volcano when I was there!) I spent a month or so off the East Coast aboard CVA-59 on carrier quals for VF-74 (as a yellow shirt as well as training for a red one) before their Med cruise in '74. At NAS Oceana, I also trained as a Grape. In real life, I am a recently retired professional precision driver and live near Toronto, Ontario, in the great State of Canada! I am an avid sailor with a 26-foot sloop that I dance in Lake Ontario's waters with whenever winter's ice melts. I have a gaming machine (besides this house server) with : P9x79 Deluxe, Intel i7 3820, 4.6 GHz stable, Corsair H80 hydro cooler, G-Skill 32GB DDR3-2133, GeForce GTX 1060 8GB, Kingston 120GB SSD, Crucial 256GB SSD, (edit: I forget the brand of a new 500GB SSD dedicated to DCS 2.5) CoolMaster 1.2kW PSU, Samsung 27", Samsung 4K, APC 1200 UPS, Logitech G-15, G-13, G27 car wheel, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, Logitech Z5500, TrackIR 4, (1TB, 2TB, 3TB and 2x 4TB) ext HD. Oh, and I also have a 1080p HDMI pass through DVR recording onto a 1TB portable SSD. Recently, I registered and flew with a formal online competition in an F-5 but completely embarrassed myself with it. I had never heard of Simple Radio so spent most of my time trying to say my name rather than even finding the bandits I knew were coming for me. In essence, I was blind, deaf, and dumb (in both senses of that word.) That said, I am very willing (eager!) to learn new things. I understand some BFM, know how to spell Tacan, know enough AAR to keep from hitting the tanker often, and (seriously) will do my best to act professional. Being retired, I can make it to flights whenever. For the first few flight hours, though, I will be heavily dependent on an IP. If you have a slot available and are willing to put up with my lack of skills, I would love to join your crew as a Harrier student pilot and (when it gets an early release) as a Hornet driver trainee. Cordially Yours, =Mac= The Hornet is best at killing things on the ground. Now, if we could just get a GAU-8 in the nose next to the AN/APG-65, a titanium tub around the pilot, and a couple of J-58 engines in the tail...
