JOIN THE 49th FIGHTER GROUP TODAY!We are looking for a few dedicated sim pilots that really like to fly, have an interest in WW2 Aviation and are interested in flying sorties that are as "Realistic" & "Historical" as possible. We are also looking for people who just want to fly and have a good time whether you are an
"Ace" or a "Newbie". So if you like realistic missions or just enjoy a night of furballing we're the squad for you. We go head to head against some of the best Axis pilots in the game while flying in the AVA, so if you want real challenge visit our website and join us.
OPERATIONS:Our principal mounts will be the aircraft used by the Historical 49th FG in WW2 - The P-38G/J/L LIGHTNING as our main aircraft and the P-40E WARHAWK & P-47D-11 THUNDERBOLT when the P-38 isn't available. As befits the strength of the P38 we practice and train in all aspects of fighter aircraft missions. Intercept, Bomber Escort and Ground Attack missions. We will also operate using original WW2 USAAF tactics, formations & radio procedures so that you will get as close to that "feeling" of actually flying the missions as you can get - short of actually being shot at.
During times when our main squad a/c aren't available such as the early war ETO or MTO scenarios we will fly the appropriate Allied aircraft available.
SQUAD TIMES:The 49th FG flies at the following times:
SQUAD NIGHTS:
Sat at 8:00 EST, Tuesday & Thursday at 7:00pm Central in the AVA Arena (Depending on terrain).
FSO’s:Friday Nights at 11:00 EST in the Special Events Arena as applicable.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
We will also fly in the Special Event Scenarios AH has from time to time if there is enough interest among the squad's pilots.
We are also planing to fly in the "Sunday European Campaign" starting soon in the Special Events Arena.
OUR GOALS:The 49th FG's goal is for all members to enjoy participating in a squadron experiencing all the sim has to offer. While at the same time trying to capture the feeling of WWII combat flying.
We are also looking to build a squad with a positive attitude, that will operate honorably in the AVA arena and Special Events.
