Guppy

Name: John “Guppy” Rudell (Callsign: Guppy) Age: 33 on 8/8! (As a side note its sort of crazy the fact that I flew with some of you back when I was 19/20) Time flying DCS: Since LOMAC Preferred Aircraft: Eagle, Hog, Hornet I have FC, KA-50, Huey, Mirage and a few others. I find myself consistently going back to those 3 though (especially the hornet) Reason for applying: I’ve toyed with wanting to apply to the 104th for quite some time, but every time I looked I just missed the cut-off for applying. I think most of you already know, but I was a 169th Panther back in the day. A lot of what I loved about that squadron is present in the 104th. However, my main reason for applying is twofold: 1) I want to find a group of folks that I can enjoy flying with on a regular basis, challenge each other to learn and develop within the sim that is more “formal” than just flying with randoms. 2) Most importantly, I want a sense of friendship, teamwork and camaraderie when flying. I also want to connect more and fly more with those who I built relationships with in the past, while creating new friendships for the future. I have always appreciated the level of professionalism and fun that comes with the 104th, its one of the reasons why I only fly on your server – I want to be part of this and believe I can make solid contributions. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back!

This was outstanding to watch. I'm still working like heck on my approaches. No where near as good as these - awesome job!

Hey all - Some of you might already recognize my handle from your server, others may recognize me from about 12+ years ago when I used to fly with Polecat, Mustang and Manawar back when 169th Panthers were a thing; great guys to fly with. Back then I was a fiery, sarcastic High Schooler... now a little less fiery. I figured I would just say hello since I pretty much exclusively fly on your server unless I feel like flying on one of the aero servers. I've been a bit AWOL on your server as of late... mostly trying to practice flying and learning the new systems in the hornet - lots of fun. I saw you guys do recruitment twice a year; I shall look forward to applying when the time comes! See ya in the air! Gup
