No Falcon for a week

[cns180784]

No Falcon for the next week for me now as i fly out to Rhodes on holiday today (resort is Faliraki, aka shagafatty lol), leaving mine at 3.20pm and am looking forward to it- but also looking forward to sinking my teeth into this sim on my return as i have 4 more days off work for which i intend to spend most of that time learning and hopefully i’ll feel confident of starting my first campaign. Last few days been playing that A-A radar modes TE and kind of felt a bit overwhelmed using the radar with the scan modes and to engage them all at once. Also switching A-A hardpoints and remembering to cool and uncage my AIM-9 but each time i’ve tried i’ve been a bit quicker and will all become second nature, and besides if the bandits really were armed in a head on engagement with two su-27s and two mig 29s only 9nm away, i’d be dead for sure especially with no wingman/element.

See you all next week and keep firing those slammers.

That sounds nice Dee-Jay. Think for us its mostly gona be late nights, booze and junk food lol…but we may go to rhodes one of the days to check it out. I like my holidays normally to be a mix of excursions doing things like quad biking and boat trips, and nights out till 5am. Need to pace myself out though with the booze, i’ve overdone it too many times on the first night lol

But when i return alcohol shall be banned. No pilot is fit to fly under the influence.

I do not know if you are Greek cns… , but take also care about the tourists traps!

Especially this one (used a translator)

READ CAREFULLY AND CIRCULATE
ATTENTION, the harbor of Rhodes, people working for RCI and Aegean Blue accost you and via a scratch card (3 palms, great, you are the winner !!!) try to take you to a hotel sell its products. Even if you have the 3 palms and that promises you a great gift, do not get into the taxi that takes you to that hotel. You will lose a minimum of 2 hours 3 hours of your time listening to someone who wants at all costs to sell you holiday weeks …

5 weeks of vacation, but without flying c …

3 hours baratain when you magically came face a so called manager, I called a small ca c … who just wants to con you, sign a passport € 5300 … and with ease Payment of course. !!!

we even had the right to visit a hotel, the rooms the beach, everything …

made past this message and notify all persons who want to spend a stay in Rhodes.

the island is very beautiful, people are very friendly and acueillants.

so do not be fooled by his bastards who have no qualms to tax your money

IT’S A SCAM !! promises the gift that is bogus and what we offer is not so advantageous than you think !!!

ps. the so called manager was French, a Toulouse, and can be one day we will cross again …

but ca happen differently …. One french young woman tried to trap me and my wife, but I was aware about the trap by reading it on Internet before my trip. Iitially I played the game “Oooh! We have 5 stars! Great … Maybe the 5weeks for 6 persons voyage to win!” So she called the taxi, and when the taxi was here and the voucher given to the taxi driver (So that that greek taxi driver can earn the money from those ****ing thieves) We went into the taxi and I stoped him 10s after we starded, told him thank you and have a good day … Came back to the women (surprised to see me back). I’ve change dramaticaly my tone and burned that girl right on the place telling here that it is a shame to act like this with some ppl working hard to be able to go on hollyday one per ear, sometime one per 5years or even for some, the only hollydays of thier lives!!!.. Told here that this is called a fraud in our country and that this is illegal. I was almost about to throw her in the water and took a picture of here (which I will post on TripAdvisor and other tourists website to warn them) … I have also some contacts with the french embassy and will talk a little bit about that to the french representative.

… Well, do not trust those bastards. They are used to be on the harbour just before entering the old city.

I’m flying from birmingham, england. Thanks for warning me about that and i’m sure there will be con artists working in Faliraki too but i’m used to them and i go away on holiday 3 times a year (normally, sometimes 2). I just ignore people coming up to me trying to sell me something unless its the bar touts at night with good drink offers

[hoover]

Have been to Rhodes too, our favourite island is Crete though…

I made the mistake of visiting Rhodes (the old city) on a day when three cruise ships disgorged their cargo into the town… terrible.

Have fun & kalo taxidi!

[cns180784]

We should all do an Aegean campaign in Falcon together

[hoover]

is it your first time visiting greek islands? If so, you’ll understand why everbody and their brother fly mostly Aegean (speaking for myself here, of course), simply it’s the most beautiful place to fly except for maybe Greenland.

Cheers, Uwe

[cns180784]

I’ve been reading though that the Aegean campaign is broken, is this true? i’ll do the Korea campaign first as i havent even started a campaign yet but will do the Aegean after if the campaign is good to play. Only an hour now till i get picked up and yea, will be my first time to the greek islands but i’ve been to Cyprus before- only they’re not part of Greece but speak greek.

I know Malia is in Crete which has good nightlife, do you stay in Malia?

Most certainly not, but then again I’m not looking for good nightlife when travelling in Crete

Well i gota go make sure i’m all ready and then i’m off. Catch you guys when i’m home, enjoy the rest of your holiday Dee-Jay

Hi from Rhodes, weather is great, hotel and resort are nice only problem is there’s no supermarket close by. Only a mini market in the hotel which has no food only drinks. Beach and harbour is nice, bit expensive for a beer but all good.
