Title: Captain Sim... a little "orientation," please!
Post by TrojanBUFDriver on Apr 18th, 2011 at 8:01pm
I'm newly registered on your site, and I'm nearly clueless as to what it's about/what you do here. I found the site through a Google search on "B-52 radar navigator."

But after I read through a few messages on the forum, I got the impression that you all somehow "fly" a B-52 simulator. Is it on-line, or is it a stand-alone package? Please educate me a little...

I have 4,000 flying hours in real B-52s, in four of the six crew positions (pilot, copilot, navigator, and radar navigator). I have about 80 combat missions in Southeast Asia and I flew in two SAC Bombing Competitions, one as a navigator and one as a copilot.

I have a fair amount of knowledge about B-52s, though on old equipment (none of the current generation avionics), and I have a couple of tech orders ("Dash-1") that I can look up what I don't directly remember.

So I have an abiding interest in what's going on here...but I need a little explanation...as you would a complete "newbie." Any help you'd care to offer would be appreciated...
