Scrabo, you would be more than welcome to join us on a Monday evening. You will need to undertake some basic training to participate properly, contact Chris Gizzy and he can get you set up. But you are more than welcome to join us for a session or two to see how you like it.

The Huey is still my favourite and flying in a large formation and dropping in to a hot LZ can't be beaten for Monday evening entertainment.

Give me a shout any time Scrabo and I'll help you wherever your wish to go with the Mi8 or soon the Mi-24.

There are training programmes for the Hip from basic to advanced and all in-between if you wish that route.
Kind Regards
Chris :)

And of course the radio wasn't quite configured correctly in the mission editor (but I just dealt with it), even without that problem, one Mi-8 was taken and one was returned in full working order. :lol: How was the KA-47?
