A Teaser for a Modern Combat Region

What's all this about? Find out more in an upcoming post.

In other words, I ran out of time for a deeper explanation. I'll have more about this within a day or two.

NEW AIRCRAFT in SL from AEB&W - WW2 Collection - The P-38 Lightning

From builder Anita Babii 阿妮塔 (anitaescort.babii)...

Read about the real Lockheed P-38 Lightning

A detailed cockpit...

The P-38 is one of many planes you can demo at the airport.

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.

Jeogeot Gulf

 
As land and rental prices rise in the Blake Sea area, news about Jeogeot Gulf is slowly filtering out from SL aviation and naval combat groups.

For budget conscious residents, Jeogeot Gulf is a lower cost alternative to Blake Sea - located in the Jeogeot continent - Jeogeot Gulf is a large Linden Land rez enabled combat area specifically for WW2 and modern naval and aviation battles.

There is no official combat system, and pirates and sailing ships are welcome.

Personally, I find it a bit messier than Blake Sea. Skyboxes hover low in the sky. Billboard style advertisements can be seen hither and yon.


Blake Sea looks better and it's where you'd want to live, while battle action takes place in Jeogeot Gulf. Residents and managers of Blake Sea can get irritated when it comes to large scale battles (NIMBY). There are good reasons for each area. You'll find me hopping around both.

WW2 Era Dogfight - The Battle of Pengo Bayou (part 3)

Unfortunately, the Axis won that day. But you can help win the war!



Enjoy the fun and excitement of challenging dogfights.

Bond with SL dogfighters and other aviation enthusiasts at DOGS ON THE RUN (DOR). From rookie to experienced pilot. Everyone is welcome!

Noobie asks "But Zoe, I've never flown an airplane in SL before. What, where, how, etc...?"  No problem, my noob friend. They even have a flight training school for rookie pilots.

Donations are always welcome - and please use the vendors in the sim to help support this excellent SL Aviation venue.

Join the DOR Group for information on upcoming events.

SL Group for Aviation Roleplayers: SLHPA (helicopter pilots of SL)

SLHPA isn't a new group, I've had it for a year or two now, so following some real life family and family business stuff, I've dramatically increasing my SL presence and I'm able to fly again (Thanks to SLGo by OnLive).

I'll be promoting this and other groups as much as possible. What can I say? I'm an event planner. Plus SL brings out my inner-tomboy-ish heart (it's a good thing I have two sons - who are fully immersed in Minecraft - I'm sure many of you can relate).

From the Group description

SLHPA = Second Life Helicopter Pilots Association
A group for helicopter aficionados, builders, and pilots.

At SLHPA, we LOVE helicopters!

Look for announcements about new releases from our favorite builders, great flying venues, dangerous areas. We'll even announce VICE air combat and adventurous roleplay.

Just search for SLHPA (helicopter pilots of SL)

Roletags

Fire Chopper Pilot
Helicopter Pilot
MedEvac Pilot
SAR Chopper Pilot (SAR = Search and Rescue)
TV NEWS Pilot

Oh! And speaking of TV NEWS.

ATTENTION HELICOPTER BUILDERS! Please create a TV NEWS Helicopter for us pilot/aviation photographers in SL. The Jet Ranger would be perfect for this, just add a TV NEW Texture and mount a camera or two. Thank you!
