I'm nerd squealing over here as I have received my HotAC manual in the mail and my local printer finished everything else for this wonderful thing.

Looking at these pilot cards though it seems there's not enough room for all the upgrades you'll buy, because you can buy multiple ones that you don't even equip. It seems the pilot cards aren't big enough.

Can anyone post a pic of their cards filled out with upgrades so I can get a better idea of how this works?

If you have purchased ones that you are not equipping for the mission, you're supposed to write it on the back of the pilot card.

You can print out the image to be larger, a friend I know printed out all the pilot sheets to be one full page per fighter. Not the standard 4 per page.
