I had 260 ping to Chip’s server (using “fixed wireless NBN” 
) and it was playable for the last flyout. ‘Twas not too early in the morning as well…

Was “mirrored” ever a pilot thing? I’ve always associated those with 80’s cop TV shows.

The replacement for Goose in Top Gun had mirrorshades.

Depending on when this shindig kicks off I will at least check, but I generally ping 600+ to the Oceania servers (NBn ‘Skymuster’ satellite) and nearly 900 when I thought about jumping on their ARMA server with ‘The Professionals’.

lol.
With the exception of one deployment I was clean shaven most of my life, but have sported a full beard since I left the Army… i.e. since before they were cool and nobody would ever mistake me for a hipster 
My wife once asked if I was ever going to shave my beard. I said only if I was going to leave mutton chops. She said “You’re keeping the beard”
