The Hardest Day - Part 1 - Ground Control

Post by Miki » Mon Mar 27, 2017 11:19 am

Hi chaps,

For anyone wondering what we are doing in GC, here is a video recorded during during the first shift of your last mission.
Actor are Bully, Jammy, and me, with guest star Ginger.

Enjoy !



Edit : just saw that my mic is not recorded when I give orders to Panta and Freema... Too bad. Anyway, I keep this post, for an overview.

Thanks Miki, the inside of ground control is fascinating! And a heart thanks for missing out on the action on Sunday due to Ground Control volunteering :salute:

Cheers for the insight Miki. I didn't get back from Mothers Day visit in time to fly, even though we didn't take off until 2030!

Awesome stuff there and a wonderful job you chaps in GC are doing. I was almost as immersed watching this as I was actually flying the mission last night. So much so that I found myself often trying to rotate and zoom into the map as I watched it in full screen :lol:

Exceptional I do say! A heartful thank you to all ground controlers. You deserve a medal for your efforts!
