Noob from south Texas, USA
« on: September 02, 2024, 11:37:17 AM »
Hello everyone, I'm Nathan Johnston. I have been wanting to build an F-16 pit since I first saw one several years back. I am currently a Cadet Chief Master Sergeant in the US Air Force Auxiliary, commissioning as a Second Lieutenant after college. Hoping to fly F-16s.

I am completely new to sim building of any sort, and don't even know what block to build. Someone told me I could get all the help I needed from the guys at Viperpits, so here I am. I can't wait to meet you all, start learning, and get building!

Welcome Nathan  :cheerleader:

No doubt, you have lots of questions. And there are quite a few options too, to make it easier  :D

The best advice I can give: read several "build" threads from A to Z.
Spending *lots* of hours reading this forum  :reading: gives you a broader view and slowly you get an idea in your head what you actually want, and also important, which choices to make and *how* to realize your dream.

Have fun!

Welcome!  I myself spent a year at Navy Kings with VT-21 for the introduction of the T-45A, so I know where you are - great area to live in... :thumbsup: .
