Well, I guess I'm not exactly looking to join or anything, and I don't know all of the Red Arrows moves like I did the Thunderbirds, but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to catch up...and I have plenty of stick time in the Iris Goshawk. - Knight01

Ok, so I guess you're in

Callsign:

RED T - Knight (or a nickname of your choice)

your 'CV' seems good enough to give you the job straight away  - RED1 - Prash

Well, this PM tells me that I wasn't requried for training, and when I met with Prash on TS, I thought we agreed that I would be a flight instructor, not a demonstration instructor, as I am not familiar with the Red Arrows show. It has been over a year since I last performed, and that was in the F-16 commanding the Thunderbirds. I'm fairly good with the Hawk, and I'm usually pretty good with getting aquainted to a variety of different aircraft quickly, which is why I thought we agreed to have me as the go-to guy for starting members and you guys would do the show routine training. Not trying to run anyone's show here, but I did take this job on as an instructor (see my post in the earlier pages of this thread), not a demo pilot.

I was going to inform Prash of my next situation, but of course, I had no prior notice of his going out of town. I'm probably only going to be available until the end of August, as classes will be resuming and I'll be busy with my own affairs after that point. I doubt I'll have much time during the week to do anything involving VRA except for on the weekends, which still looks pretty stiff.

I will not be able to make it to this training session at 3PM GMT tomorrow unless I show up late, depending on how long you guys are around for. I'm usually pretty good for the evening to early morning hours (your time).

My suggestion is that we straighten out this whole thing as soon as possible so we're all on the same page here.

Yes this means your in, not an instructor. You have to go through 8 courses to become an instructor. Me and Prash are the only instructors. You can't just become an instructor, you havn't even flown with us. Your just a trainee and I have to train you, hence you being RED T.
RED1. Ash.

Well, in this case, I'm sorry to say, I just don't have the time to go through my own training then teach others by the start of the school season. Sorry to cause a problem there, but just don't have it in me right now. Good luck with future ventures.

I want you to be a pilot, not support

EDIT: By support, you mean RED10? Or a non-flying job?

Like real airshows, you get the red arrows support like a C17 and i fly to shows with you etc..

Just want to be support thats all  

[AGNT_Matt]

Red arrows use a Lorry (Truck/Rig to my pals across the pond) so i believe.

If you was in the red arrows you wouldn't of been training others anyway. Only me and Prash are certified to do so.
Bye.

Hey Guys,

This is your PR topic, but it looks like your using this as your own personal forum now?

Agreed, do you guys have msn, TS or a website to discuss this? Or possibly investing in your own forum could be an option?

[Jacob-UVA-CEO]

Thats True.

[Continental180]

i mean really. This is rediculous. You don't need 93 posts for a press release.

use msn, but this is not needed anymore.
