Wow, that was sure fun. I've missed you guys. First flying online with TCA in almost 3-4 yrs, I think. Going back to sea was great; not having live feed internet was not so great.
Had fun with the Goose, but may try another aircraaft if I can fly again next weekend. Kept talking about it but never actually turned off the real weather; hope to find one that handles it a bit better.
My photo at the end didn't come out. When I reinstalled I lost a little piece of software that did my screen captures. Nuts. You should have seen the weather during my final landing...after the hover. (That was my sweetie, BTW. Looking forward to living with her after this final set of orders.)
Thanks so much for the point to the Connie!!! Wow, already flew it once. What a monster. I love that plane...despite the six page checklist. No, because of the six page checklist!
They made the rescue BTW. Ship's under tow safely headed to Dutch.
Thanks again, guys. Sure hope to see you again next weekend. Thanks so much, Par, for tracking me down. And to Christian for the great Pilot Handbook - everything back up on the first try. Amazing.
Warm regards,
