Hi guys,

I have applied to join the FI. My name is Mike :D

I am 47 and Live in New Zealand. I am a total newbie at flying and sims as i only got IL2 a few months ago just to try it . Well now i have the series and have upgraded my pc to run it. Also got a Saitek evo joystick after first geting a cheapy to try the game.

I have been looking around for a group to join ( if you will have me ) and came across your posts in UBI. You seem such a friendly lot I though what the hell maybe they can teach me the ins and outs of the game and spend many hrs of enjoyment together.

As I work shift wotk I am online at odd hrs for my time zone so joining with the international community is not a problem a couple of times a week .

My kids have grown up ( 2 of them ) so its just me and the missus and she doesnt mind me being online as the computor is about all I spend time doing these days Mind you she gets a wee bit upset at the money I have too spend on more upgrades and the ADSL connection :D but hey the married guys will understand.I have been to hyper lobby a couple times (madmike_02) but am TOTALLLY useless in full real :cry:

anyway i have raved on enough hope to see most of you soon .
Cheeers
Mike

Hi Mike,

I think you'll really like flying with the FI online :D I look forward to seeing you :D My only recommendation is if you don't have one get a headset and get on TeamSpeak right away!

or "Bottom of the Evenin', Bucko!"

or whatever....

Welcome aboard, m8, and thanks for giving us the chance we so deserve. :D

We've been looking to join someone from New Zealand for some time now, and, if you'll have us, we'd like to fly with you a bit to see if we're up to snuff.

What the hey, we'll crash any party! :D

Willkommen auf dem "Schwarzen Brett"!

Welcome to this BB, Mike! :)

You´re from NZ, you said? D´OH! Then I´ve to prepare the "Rogues" roster on our site ... what´s the flag of NZ again? Is it like the Australian one but with red stars instead of white ones on it? I think I missed that lesson in geography ... :shock: ;)

Anyhow, ... be a frequent and lively member of this BB and meet us online via HL. I hope that your shift schedule will allow to meet some of us guys from the colonies and from old/new Europe .... ;)

Sláinte! :beer:



BTW, ...
