It is advised in this flight to turn off both aircraft collisions and terrain collisions. If you do crash, you can use the “slew” mode to join the pack.

:thinking::face_with_monocle::nerd_face:The USAF never used the F-14 and F/A-18

Thanks for your comment @Archer374 and you are correct but if you read the headline, it is about what bases I have flown in my career. It has nothing to do with the aircrafts itself.

Most bases have visitors from other Forces and that is the beauty of virtual flying…Anyone can join and be part of the flight…

Happy Flying!

Looking forward to joining if I can… Any specific rules?

No specific rules! But you’ll want to come in an F-14/F-18 or similar speed. Cessna 172 might still be at the originating runway when we get to the end.:sunglasses:

LOL, I’ll likely be in a Tomcat. :slight_smile: IMHO the BEST fighter plan ever built. :slight_smile: Again IMHO. :slight_smile:

Can we fly in the Hawk? Also wondering about refueling?

Sure. We’ll be flying military power, so no afterburners that’ll send you way behind. If you need fuel, you can pretend there’s air refuelling by just using the toolbar at the top. :sunglasses:

Thanks. I am in the UK so thats midnight for me, but if I can keep my eyes open I will join you!

Too bad the KC10 wasn’t avaible yet, would be awesome to have a tanking flying with us. Maybe we can refuel from an FA-18?

Comox is only a 2 1/2 drive from my house, so it’s in my back yard, sort of. LOL
