Howdy AW's,
My son will have the opportunity of a lifetime this week. He's going to the 18 simulator at Lemoore on Wed. My son is in treatment for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and "The Navy" has graciously afforded him the opportunity to get in the sim and play (non-moving sim). He'll also get a brief tour around the base with his best friend and Dad by Lt. W. so it will be a very memorable day in his life.
Question:
If I get to sit in the SIM, I want to be able to get through the W/R checklists so that I can come around R14 or R32 and drop a 500 pounder on the sim building. I thought the guys operating the sim might get a good chuckle if I can pull this off unannounced. Although Master Arm "ON" may give it way a bit early.
My son is 8 yrs old and is much more intelligent than his father. He can already memorize a fair amount of info on short notice. If you were 8 yrs, old what would you want to do in the sim, other than loops, aileron rolls etc.?
When they asked what he wanted printed on his flight suit my "FNG" recommendation was pretty much ignored. My wife had the same reaction- go figure.
Any recommendations that would make his experience meet/exceed max fun would be greatly appreciated. Let's face it- he's going to have an awesome time with some great Navy folks. Only 12 more months of chemo to go!
Thanks,
CAMike
