Been a While…

How’s everyone been? No idea when last I signed into my account, or even played SP. Becoming an adult happened and it came to an end. I suddenly thought of SP and thought I’d touch base again.

Long story short, I’m now in US Army flight school flying the CH-47F. It’s been a wild journey, and I wonder if I ever would have taken this path had I never played SP. Something to think about.

    @YourLocalJetNut330 Cool! I'm still a junior machinist, so I haven't actually made many aircraft parts yet 😅
    Because of the small size of the RNZAF, it's pretty rare that we make the same part more than just a handful of times. Usually the jobs are just one-off repairs or random custom parts and tools. Most of what I get atm is random foreigner jobs from people who need personal things made, or ground service equipment stuff that isn't super high precision.

    Good to see you're getting your wings.
    ...Or rotor blades for that matter.
    ...But then again, rotor blades are wings in helo context.
    ..So yeah, you're getting your wings.
