FREE sim rides anyone?? :-)

Kristie · September 19th, 2005, 20:27

We've had an offer from one of Pengy's friends, who works at a simulator company ( Sim Pro USA) in Vegas, to give our NJC crew some FREE 737 simulator rides!!

we're looking at these times and will be filling Saturday first and then Friday, if Saturday fills up.

Saturday, 22-October

Time
1700-1730 - 4 people
1745-1815 - 4 people
1830-1900 - 4 people

Friday, 21-October

Time
1700-1730 - 4 people
1745-1815 - 4 people
1830-1900 - 4 people

Those interested better speak up pretty darn quick cuz i think these slots are going to go FAST!! I know if i get the chance, i'm going to because I didn't take the seat last time I was offered a free sim ride!

Did I mention these are <font color="red"> FREE </font> sim rides???

Thanks again to Mpenguin for having some incredibly awesome friends and contacts!!!!!!

ME ME ME!!!! Put me down for one!

blee256 · September 19th, 2005, 21:07

737 sim ride? perfect, I have an american eagle interview coming up. haha j/k......

kellwolf · September 19th, 2005, 21:48

DAMMIT! I still don't know whether I'm going or not. Depends on if someone decides we're taking a plane or he's flying on the airlines. If it's the first, I'll be there, if it's the latter, well, I won't.

I still have an MD-11 sim ride from last year I need to get cashed in, too.

JEP · September 19th, 2005, 23:32

Hhok me up for any time.

jtrain609 · September 19th, 2005, 23:52

I'd love to grab any of the Saturday slots if you've still got room, Kristie.

H46Bubba · September 20th, 2005, 01:25

Hook it up!!!!

Friday night please!!!!!!

mtsu_av8er · September 20th, 2005, 01:38

I'd love to take a Friday slot!!!!

Kristie · September 20th, 2005, 02:10

ok.. can ya'll accept the saturday slots because the guy doing the sim rides would really like to fill saturday up first since friday is considered a "work" day and he has a life after work. if there's more people than the saturday slots will handle, then we can open up the friday slots.

oh and no worries on missing Network JC - we're going to push it back an hour or so and start it at 7:30pm to allow the sim times cuz i think it's important enough to rearrange the NJC session time.

I figure we'll all be hanging out the entire evening as it is! right?

is that acceptable?

BrettInLJ · September 20th, 2005, 05:28

You can put me down for Saturday! Sweet deal!

MikeD · September 20th, 2005, 10:35

Put me down for 10 minutes or so, so I can see what I'm missing on "the other side".

fly22 · September 20th, 2005, 10:49

Put me down for whenever works best for him. If its Saturday so be it if its Fri so be it. If its free you can't be to picky with the time frame. Just let us know our time.

Switches in different places, no triggers, and a little more space. That took thirty seconds, not ten minutes!

No way, I want to ride with MikeD and see if we can get teh 737 to perform like like the F117. Maybe we can request a short approach!!

H46Bubba · September 20th, 2005, 11:59

I guess I could do Saturday. Put me down for Sat.

pilot602 · September 20th, 2005, 12:23

I'll probably be IN sim training by that time but put me down for a ride!

Any slot is fine.

Maximillian_Jenius · September 20th, 2005, 13:26

This put me down for a slot on Sat. if there still avail? Otherwise I'd be kool just watching.

P.S. How are we all getting over to this place...most of us are flying and might not have cars?

Actually...since MikeD is on the Nighthawk I'm sure it isn't too dissimilar to a NG 737.
Now that he isn't on the Hog anymore he is a systems manager!!!

Oh and no triggers on the 117 (officially) it has no guns. Only bombs!
