    hey jon, glad you are getting some use out of it. the flight crews really
    enjoy the beast. the a/c does work well for being in a cargo jet.
    we even had a fighter jockey try his hand at flying it. no problems.
    the fly-by-wire and joystick made it too easy.

    Rollen,

    I am getting ready to do it again... Have an ORI this time. Hafta fly down south and PLAY war in the 100 deg heat. Then I am due to play war for real shortly there after...

    Fun fun fun in the hot blazing sun...

    Oh Yeah... We were flying into this place in Wisconsin, with a VERY short runway. Pilot slams us down on the deck, hits the reversers and stands up on the brakes. Typical combat landing... I am awakened to see these 3 80# plastic 4x4s fly past me. One of the guys I was with got his leg pinned by one. Almost lost his foot for that matter. They were lashed to the top of a connex and turned so the force of landing sent them shooting forward. Bad way to start an excersize.

    I work for Electronic Data Systems managing GM data during the day and run a hotrod shop evenings and weekends. (www.ttdmotorsports.com) We like to build odd stuff.

    I've had my AMX since I was 18 months old.... We currently have the "Charity AMX" in our shop, it's ummmm NOT super nice at this point, doing what we can to change that.
