Lately I’ve been working hard to be a competent/useful RIO. I had a wonderful time this evening. Logged about 4 hours flight time mostly LGB practice and the use of TALD.

Nice! Was this on the Hoggit server? I’m planning on hopping on there myself and learning how to RIO once the semester is done.
Having the urge to fly some helicopters in DCS. Decided to set up new controls and HOTAS configurations. Taking a Gazelle armed with a minigun out for testing. Up and down, over the hills, between the hills and practice hovering. Taking in the beautiful view from down low in the map.

Should be…
F-16 cold and dark challenge! Looks like I missed a switch to bring the electrical system up to a fully functioning mode but the engine is running so that’s a win!
It’s been a long time since I’ve sat in one but this has brought back happy memories!

For some reason I picture in my head someone getting more distance throwing hand grenades from a bi-plane than he got from dropping those JDAM’s from a Hawg.

Eh, they go a ways, from 20,000’. I can get two off before the envelope closes. These are '31s so I don’t need to laser them in.
The shot is from the Ira’dib mission. There are a couple of targets with concrete buildings.
Oh, only taking 50% fuel. Still plenty enough to get the job done, and fly through the hotel on the coast.
LOOK BEHIND YOU! A SNAKE!
