SGTMAJOR

Many Thanks Neil.......you and your team do tremendous work........I truly do appreciate all the long tedious hours put into these projects. You all are the ones that truly bring these regions alive!! Most Sincerely, Steve R.

Respectfully submitted for consideration.. KHMT - Hemet-Ryan Airport supporting the cities of Hemet & San Jacinto, CA. 1. WWII Training facility. 2. Chuck Yeager received his primary flight training here. 3. Some of the old barracks and the old wooden control tower are still standing. 4. Russia landed their first Trans-Polar Flight in a field just north of the airport (Monument marking the spot) 5. One of the Main Cal-Fire Bases in California 6. Was a major soaring community airport until 2009 - airstrip is still there. (It was closed much like Meigs Field.....one day it was in operation the next day it wasn't....sad.....the valley provided some great soaring) More here: http://www.digplanet.com/wiki/Hemet-Ryan_Airport#History Cheers,

This was a great idea..... Forum Name: SgtMajor Real Name: Steve Nic Origin: Retired Marine Corps SgtMajor (not very original...I know) Live in Southern California and have been Flightsimming steady since the days of FS3. Spent most of my 27+ military years working Avionics on helicopters or teaching. Traveled to many great places...... and a few not so great....but was never very far from the Flightsim world. Now semi-retired working a few days/hours a week as an Auditor for a Financial Services Company. Picture is somewhat old..... but don't have many pics of myself. (Obvious reasons.) Been married to the wife for going on 32 years........she's way too good to me. (smile) Picture is from the Marine Corps Ball, 1997.
