So I was cruising around Heidelburg today and saw this: Weren't we stationed here guys? Ain't that cool? It was only a few km down the road from where I was today!

Hey, Heiden, good to hear from you. Sounds like things are staying plenty busy for you over there. Glad your enjoying it. What other planes do you get to see that come through? We're staying at it, trying to keep those pesky Allies off our favorite Mediterranean island. We get DC-10s, MD-11s, 747s, 767s, C-130s, and C-5s here as well. I've done a little bit of work on the C-5s but they're a nightmare as far as hydraulics goes. Horrible. Lockheed was high when they designed this plane. Everything is hydraulic and it all leaks.

Hey guys,
Long time no talk eh? Between the girlfriend and working the nightshift now I haven't had time for flying. I really miss the stuff we do and if I ever end up on dayshift again I'll definitely be coming back permanently. Right now I simply can't make any missions or training because I don't get off from work until 2400.
I'm in Ramstein AFB, Germany for a few weeks at the moment. I'm working C-17 en-route, it's a lot of fun. This place is as busy as a major civilian airport.
I've been indulging in local German quisine and BEER so if I get out of here without gaining 50lbs I'll be happy.
So what's new with all of you all?

Broomhandle Mauser. Is it in 9mm or 7.63?

What sort of ammo is it? If it's mil-surpl please be sure to bring a funnel and some ammonia mixed with water with you. Pour that down the barrel after you're done firing as it will neutralize the corrosive salts left behind from firing corrosive ammo.

I've got a nuts-ton of laquer-coated steel-cased 8mm Mauser ammo if you need a few rounds!

I'm not too impressed with the cockpits right now but I do understand it's only in beta form right now.
Stecher, if this game does turn out to be fantastic, what's the possibility of us converting over to a WWI outfit to fly that sim?

Highly doubtful it's a hardware malfunction. It's most likely due to a porked software configuration. I'd put $20 Canadian on it and say it has something to do with that Bigsparsky's program you had running.

I'm telling you dude, save yourself the money and simply reformat the hard drive with a fresh install! You're going to pay an arm and a leg for those clowns at the computer store to do the same thing.

Everything hydraulic tends to start leaking the cold it gets. Those O-rings turn so brittle.

You'd hate it here. I flew yesterday afternoon. Absolutely STILL air, 70°, no clouds. I was at 6500ft and it was like glass up there. The weather here in SOCAL is purrrrfect!

Speaking of being in the seat, I got myself stuck in the right seat the other day during a MX BIT. I had it adjusted the way I like it but it wouldn't slide back so I had to crawl out over the center pedistal and throttle quadrant. The guys that had the seat next probably weren't too happy about that.

Absolutely. There are no other supersonic trainers in the Air Force inventory right now.

I was also with StG77 for a time. They threw me out. They couldn't handle my intensity and my utmost hatred for the enemy!

Iron Skies! That's right! My biggest claim to fame there was shooting down a TB-3 with another 109F2. :-) Nothing like headshotting the pilots with that 15mm BB gun.
