Captain Midnight here… lots of changes since you last heard me fighting Baron von Karb and his Nazi bretheren.

First, the squadron was deregulated. Then, we lost our scope in the and all of our missions were outsourced to smaller squadrons. 9-11 hit, I took a huge paycut, then the old squad went bankrupt. Would you believe the CEO of the Secret Squadron used the Perada treasure to give himself a 5 million dollar bonus after I took a 40% cut?? Well, i’ve been furloughed and I have to start over. (I had to read my own pink slip with my decoder ring?!?!?)

Anyway, it’s time for some new adventures in flying for a new generation… so we have:

CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT AND HIS CRJ SQUADRON - Adventures in training (and flying the line)

The Captain is confused - things are different then in his day. There was no SOP’s, CRM’s, QRH’s, EFIS’s, EICAS, FMS, or any of that alphabet soup back when I started. I’ll try and walk you through the good Captain’s training and adventures out on the line.

We’ll see if we can find us a good villan out there to replace ole Ivan Shark… maybe there’s a modern day shark in the waters out there for Capt. Midnight to battle every day.

Check back often and remember… when you need a fill up, think Skelly Oil and nothing goes better with a full tank of clean burning 100% Gen-uine American gasoline than a cup of Ovaltine. Ovaltine… it’s what the Captain drinks to get through those 14 hour days.
