so yea our team: the Blacklions.. well there was only 6 of us ,mach III"s ... so we got more sim time than anyone has ever gotten...we never had to swith out flyintg we were in the sims the full time. also the lake wasnt filledin yet so that time set aside for water survivle was added to even MORE sim time... we got to land on cariers which i succesfully did 2x... and try arieal refueling.. which we were told from our councler Pooky never happens alot...so it was pretty exciting..

one funny story that was really good was when we were doing our pilot rescue..... well we knew we were prety colse to him we spread out to find him.. and me (the patrol leader) i see a rocketover to the right ... another to the left... andother to the front... all the sudden another shoots down like a lawn dart... about 20 ft from us ... BAM... all the sudden we hear Pooky yell GET OUT OF HERE!!! so everyone lays down... im like u guys are dumb! !!! were getting shot at by Space camp rockets from across the street!!! run!!!! so we ran out of the way... pooky was freeking out ... he didnt know they were shooting rockets off at that time... well we ended up rescuing the pilot.. we called him cappy/.... since he had not head... we made a streatcher for him and marched him back to the hangar... on the way webid him farwell by singing the USMC, Navy, and Airforce Anthems.. after that we hummed the IMperial Death March from starwars, we did him off nicely...


more stories to come!
