Greetings from Norway
« on: December 20, 2023, 08:47:32 AM »
Hello there fellow Viper enthusiasts!

Fairly new to military sims. Worked on the F-16, log time ago, during my initial service at the weapons workshop and flight line.
Not new to aviation though, been flying for 25 years.. I’m currently working as a helicopter pilot and also hold PPL-A and owns a Vans RV6.

Been flying some VTOL VR.. great game, but not fan of VR for long sessions. End goal is to build an F-16 pit and join a squadron!

So gonna start reading the build threads and gathering info :) 
Thanks
Ivar

Looking forward to seeing your build project.

What do you fly Rufus?

I have a Private pilot ticket (that in't really current) and I've been a Flight Test Engineer for the past 38 years...I've been in and out of RL fighter/attack cockpits during all that time, plus I've got about 500-600+ hours in various Fleet Trainers...which is a bit unusual even for most of the rest of the other Engineers I work with - I've just been luck enough to have been in the right places at the right times.  Most and most recent of my faux flight time is in these -

This one, in fact - this pic was as it was first being installed, I got to help with the initial standup and checkout...in fact, I think I recall having flown aa full A card FCF on it as part of that:

That happened mostly because of my Viper project - now I don't know where work ends and hobby begins!  I've also had the privilege of getting to fly a real Trainer configured Super Hornet from the back seat...NOW it's time for me to retire!
