VFAT in February edition of Computer Pilot Mag

Post by Cobra » Thu Feb 07, 2008 6:48 pm

Get your copy of Computer Pilot Magazine for the wrap up of VFAT 2007!

Also, next month Computer Pilot will be featuring the beginning of a series of articles, written by some worn-out hack, entitled "How to fly like a Thunderbird". One wonders who would have such inside information...

Our very own #9 authored the article so don't ask someone to steal it for you in his own thread. Go out and support the flight sim market- its small enough without pirate influences.

Looking forward to reading the VFAT article Cobra- and the next to follow.

Can't wait to read it Cobra! I'll have to order my copy online as I doubt the dinky, podunk town I live in will carry it. However, we do have every LowRider magazine printed... go figure. :roll:

I remember when we got the cover, I was in South Florida at the time and had to drive an hour to North Miami to get my hands on a copy at the Super Barnes & Noble.

I remember that too. I had to drive to several different book stores to find it. When I found it, I bought 4 or 5 of them. :) Can't wait to read the article Cobra along with the future one's too. Good work.

Just took a read of your article Cobra and I have to say you did a very nice job on it. 8)
I really liked how you went into a little detail on the beginnings of how it all started up to the present time.
Some great photographs also in the article.
This should definitely generate more interest in virtual formation flying as a whole.

Well, I just ordered it online and hopefully it will be here Tuesday or so. I'll try to scan the page for you guys to see if you need.

Same here Velo. I went to Barnes and Knoble and they didn't have it in stock. So, I had to order from the website as well. I am looking forward to receiving my copy as well. :D

NICE :D
I hope I can get the magazine here in Holland! (but I don't think so.....)

PS: I think it is time to start thinking about the VFAT2008 date.
Lets put our heads together in the official VFAT forums soon!

Might consider making a retraction in that article Cobra. The VBA made our first public appearance at the first ever VFAT in 2005. Other than that, nice job getting our community out there.
