Hi
After quite a long break from both IF and photography, I am back with some great shots of the new update, as well as a tale of caution to all of you up and coming Mavericks! Without further ado, here are the shots!
Flight #1
Route: Casino Royale - Navy Seal Land
Holding on the runway as a Golden Warrior scores a 3-point takeoff
There is one impostor among us
An aggressive beauty shot
Dos
Route: Pattern work at San Clemente before my inevitable doom
Just a couple of Mavericks, no comment needed.
Afterburners go brrrrr
Story time!
Ok, so I want to be honest about the mistake that I made so that it can be avoided in the future by others, because in all seriousness, it was a dumb move by me. I was on short final at San Clemente, when the ATC told me to maintain slowest practical speed. Seeing that I might not have been able to complete my touch-and-go even at a slow speed, I immediately applied afterburners, declared a missed approach, and sped up to
350 kts. In a controlled airspace. Yeah, needless to say, I did not wake up with all of my brain cells, and as a result, I got a level 3 violation. The moral of the story is to please read the announcement that was posted yesterday about proper fighter etiquete, and make sure to be aware of all the speed regulations when flying. I look forward to a week of Training Server flying!!
