Yeah but for regular camp you dont fly the Mach III sims if youre a pilot. At least for my 6-day pilots this summer they didnt....

Haha didnt mufasa get the APU Start down to 10 seconds?

Of course by Mach I sims I meant Mach II sims.......I am thinking though of switching to the pilot track for Christmas camp because Ive never been a pilot and I still want to SCUBA dive.

are the mach II sims the same as the mach III basically... anybody know?

I think they are pretty much at least. Just with less buttons.

Drumrollz · Post by **Drumrollz** » Sun Jul 18, 2004 9:24 pm

Yeah. The Mach IIIs have lots of buttons in them, but not all of them are programed as labeled.

no the mach II sims really suck copmpared to the mach III's in my opinion but their still better than the Mach I's they made us fly at AA last year

I was pilot the last summer that pilots did SCUBA.

Yeah see see the pilots during my 6 day week were flying the Mach I sims.....they seemed to like it but probably because they never went to AC

camp injuries are usually funny and they let people give u new callsigns.. thats how i got my callsign. walked headfirst into the sharp end of the F-14's stabilator. haha. then i got to spend the next hour in the infirmiry. oh well.

tennisrox014 · Post by **tennisrox014** » Mon Jul 26, 2004 11:41 pm

haha.. camp injuries are funny.. but some are really kinda gross! i asked my counselor last time if anyone has died at AC and he told me no but told me this gross story about this mach II kid who tried to move one of the lockers in the AC rooms and it fell on his arm or was it his leg? oh well one of the two and a chunk of bone came out of his leg and paramedics had to come and this counselor had to put the piece of bone in a bag. i was grossed out for like an hour afterwards. think of the callsign possibilities though!

A guy on my team cut his wrist while cutting the fins for rockety and then he passed out in sick bay.
