I'm sure I could make an entrance, I would like to see a whooping great fleet of Huey's ... Now that would look COOL ... sorta "We were SOLDIERS" material

Mr Watkins has done a nice RNZAF paint for the Fox Moth - pity it's not armed. Far too many of these new-fangled noisy eggbeater thingies around the airspace, if you ask me.

It might be time for me to try multi player on FSX... Tuck up alongside in the Jetranger or a UH-1

You obviously get them overhead as well, I really miss the Thump of the Iroquois those many years back when Wigram was Wigram to get them in pairs was as regular, even the little Sioux was music to my ears but now dead and gone

I used to have an adapter to plug my headset into the computer but I don't know where it is now. I'd get some strange looks from my mrs wearing the helmet around the house haha

Added time to first post.
Trying to investigate the server/hosting situation currently to see what our options are.

May try to use one of the servers listed on this page unless someone wants to try to host.

Event still has the green light right now. I'm still debating on what specific aircraft to use. May depend on others and their airspeeds.

I think I'll reschedule further in advance for a larger group gathering beyond just one or two people at this point.
