Like the first shot.
Looks like fun but I bet you would have even more fun on a Naval Vessel... 8-)

Just firing up my FS 2004 Sim to visit the area now...(as I do).

Right on the Cal-Nevada Border...U,S. Marine Training Ground.

Please don't shoot me down when I arrive!... Please!......!

Paul...I love my Sim Geography Lessons... ...!

Doesn't that background scenery remind you just how well the MS Flight Sim was programmed!

Bryant (O57) 6,466 Feet ASL!... ...Weak Mixture for Take-off!

Damn Justin, these look pretty real!

A few more dynamic angles would probably convinced me though.


Oh wait, this is the photo section!  My bad.


Welcome back!

I'm sure you missed us as much as we missed you.

...having just Sim-Flown over the area, (FS 2004...VOZ Textures), I found it's completely desolate, with Desert conditions prevailing all around the area....(Nevada Desert).

...the Google Map of Bridgeport shows the same...

Not and area I would fancy living in!...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004...and sand, (and angry Rattle Snakes), in my air filters!... ...!

That looks like a pretty good time! 8-)

There isn't a cell phone signal for 20 miles in any direction, no civilization for 17 miles in any direction (closest town is Bridgeport)  It is extremely desolate, and the altitude is up there, the highest we went was 9,624 feet up over Sonora Pass.

Thanks for compliments everyone, I sure missed you guys, glad to be back  (and glad to have a shower and fast food and a bed lol)

No, our main goal was to make sure the reservists got a chance to take a spin, so us active duty guys just hung out and watched since we ride them plenty when we are in the fleet 8-)  They got to ride in a Herc too.
