Yep. A ton of ex JSO cars "ghettofied" here.

Greg, what squadron are you with?

FRP in 40. I've got Fam 1 tomorrow.

 

[MasterBates]

Yeah! I'm at 42 Ops dept. Look for "MASTER" or the Blue/White Triumph Bonneville.

I'll keep an eye out for it. Anything tricky about course rules here? They seem pretty straight forward.

In at 8, out at 5. 90kts and hover lights on the river run.

Be prepred to only leave NRB airspace 2-3 times in the next 7 months. 40 is pretty ****ty about that. I got 40 hours in 7 months, 36 of which were in the pattern.

Might be a bit better now that they are doing NVGs in the RAG.

 

[gregsivers]

Thanks for the tips. I was wondering about how much flying was done in the pattern.

Yes, hurricane season is an exciting time to be in Florida. If you're new to the area, you're probably wondering what you need to do to prepare for the possibility that we'll get hit by "the big one.''

If you're married or live with a woman, I'd suggest a bottle of tranquilizers. After a week with no power either she'll be taking them or you will. Trust me on this.

Guns. Dont forget guns.
