New SL Airport: Frank "Jack" Fletcher Field

I discovered a new airport quite by accident while I was looking for land to buy. My friend Cornelius Fanshaw directed me to a parcel up for sale, and when I scouted around to see what would be near me.... boom there it was... an airport! 

I saw the name Frank "Jack" Fletcher Field on one of the main hangars. I had no idea who this was, so of course - I had to Google the guy.

RADM Frank "Jack" Fletcher Field (SLFF) is located at Hyojong, in Jeogeot. The airport is a General Aviation/Regional passenger facility at the south end of Jeogeot Gulf. Jeogeot Gulf is a large rez enabled combat area specifically for WW2 and modern naval and aviation battles.

I ran into many old friends from the old Aeronautic sims.

Old friend Karl Reisman is one of the airport managers.

I spotted a problem with the airport -- No Starbucks!

Jeogeot Gulf in the Jeogeot continent is a mostly rez enabled set of Linden water sims set up for naval combat. I'm sure most of the WW2 and modern groups are using VICE, but there's no official combat system - pirates and sailing ships are welcome.

WW2 Sanctuary Combat Roleplay Sims in Danger.... Vickster Kuhn Comments

Vickster Kuhn commented on my post WW2 Sanctuary Combat Roleplay Sims in Danger.... PART 2

"Tough times I guess.

Anyone involved with our SL flying group, the RCAF, will know that we've been struggling to keep our own home base in Caledon going.

The Sanctuary sims are quite unique in SL, and they represent the fruition of many residents' work.

It's a showcase for SL aviation and the development of the the VICE combat system, and the playground of the most active and well known flying groups in Second Life.
A favorite of newbies and veterans alike, Sanctuary has been my home and home to several squadrons to which I belong.

I've been working as an admin there in exchange for a base for my own squadron, JG 132, the Richtofen squadron.

Things in SL happen pretty quickly, and just when you think you can count on something as a given you turn your head and it's gone.

Sanctuary will always be one of my most favorite places. I've been flying for most of my SL career, but Sanctuary is where I got to employ all I've learned from some of the best aviators in SL, including Niki Wilder and MeganAnn Mills, Zoe Connolly, Noel Oh, Cody007 Skytower, Bradyn Halcali and Whitewolf Mumfuzz.

It's heartbreaking to see something like this come to an end, and I'll always wonder what I could have done to help make it work.

It's my hope that there will be something in the future to fill the vacuum that will surely be created by the loss of Sanctuary.

There is still time to play there, and if you're into it you won't regret going. Search for Fallout, Bastogne, or Rangoon, which is the Legends of WW2 sim, and the only one of the three likely to be around next month.

Tell 'em Vickster sent you!"

A new enemy to our dear Caledon homeland is expected near our southern border within the week. The nefarious government of New Brunswick has formed and will no doubt be sending reconnaissance teams to document military strength and the fighting will of the good people of Caledon.

Be ever diligent, watchful and remember to increase patrols along the southern border as well as check for suspicious "persons of interest" in RCAF Airfields and other sensitive facilities.
