Great fun last night, Shaggy edited the Case 1 file and put a daylight & last light file together for Trng
Good news was we all made it on, slowly getting to grips with the Comms , need to upgrade my SA during dark hrs, made some basic mistakes.
It's why we train.

Pit lights were on dim, I prefer the green
It looked alot darker when we were landing

piss poor, but thats me so get used to it

I'm surprised that I got a close as I did as I hadn't set the Tacan nor ILS for the landing. Didn't help that it was my first time on the SC and wasn't surecwhat I was looking for. I almost landed on the frigate behind the carrier!

Great fun though chaps.

Dont panic I spoke to the lead tech this morning and they said that with new wing, engine and a shit load of T-cut with a bit of elbow grease, they will have your bird back up and running for another crash in no time!

Nice, those techs are awesome. I admire the chilled out deck crew who just stand around watching sunsets while a tomcat spews fire not 50ft away!
