Scott is a great guy and very good at his job in the PClub. He even comes out of his cage and helps at the ticket counter from time to time.
By the way, he's single. ;)

The only class that is currently being offered is in Houston next week, that would get me "qualified" to take the shift that I want.

Still haven't heard from the instructor about clearing the waitlist. Guess it's on to Plan B. :rolleyes:

I do like the "meatball" guidance system they use to make sure you're on the glidepath better than the standard red/white lights on regular airfields. You've got a single point of reference for vertical/horizontal positioning that's right in your visual field, as opposed to having to look at the gauges.

I got a great appreciation for how absolutely amazingly skilled fighter pilots are. The controls on the F/A-18C are touchy. You think about moving your hand on the stick and you'll start to turn. That makes formation flying all the more impressive.

The sim is pretty much the world's biggest/most expensive video game. Take the cockpit section out of a fighter, stick it in the middle of a 30' diameter bubble with basically 360 degree projector coverage (except for the natural blind spots you would have from the seat). They had the graphics capability dialed down due to classification reasons for us, but even the non-classified graphics in 1999 were impressive.
