Thursday 19 July 2012 8th AF Mission "Operation Thunder"
« on: July 14, 2012, 02:42:11 PM »
The 8th Air Force has been tasked with hitting Rook targets. We will strike a Medium Airfield, a Small Airfield, and a Vehicle Base.

Launch Country : Knight
Target Country  : Rook
Launch Time     : 9PM EST/ 8PM CST

The Mission has been moved up one hour to get more players into the Mission and for some to fly against.  Announcements will be made on 200 channel to allow Rooks to organize a defense with intel on selected targets and force strength.  This is done so we will have a fight and not a milkrun. 

All Mission details are located here http://stevesscifishootout.forumsland.com/index.php?mforum=stevesscifishootout.  Register and post your plane preference in General Information.

B-17
B-24
P-38J
P-38L
P-47D-25
P-47N
P-51B
P-51D

All types of players welcome.  Newbies also.  Thise who want to take a leadership role for vacant slots, post that intention also.  This will be an active event for enthusiasts in 8th AF vs Luftwaffe.

You just make sure you got your boys lined up to thwart us.  Your group is doing a great job.  Unmistakeable when you guys close on us who it is, very very well done.  You and your squad add an awful lot to this dealeeoo.  I shall endeavor to thwart your thwarting.

When you mentioned that in the other thread, I had way too many PM's, conversations and RL stuff going on that I forgot that 8th AF was on Knights for the month of July.  In August, 8th AF will be on Rookland so targets will be Bishop and Knight rotating back and forth.

I apologize for any confusion Stampf.  Please bear with me on getting this little thing running the best I can by being equal to all countries.  August has 5 weeks, so I will make Knights 1st, 3rd, and 5th weeks for you.

CC all.  Thanks.

I applaud the effort to date loudly.  A challenge to say the least in an open arena. Heck, if the only thing that came out of this was... more dedicated, experienced, skilled, historically driven pilots for FSO, and all special events...it would be a huge success.

Thwart on!  You arrogant boys, and over confident old men are doing a darn fine job up there.  :D

Word of mouth while you guys are flying in the arenas all week will help tremendously into making this a large turnout for both sides.

Well that's always an interesting idea.

My preference would be for Top Gun to fill in the open slots in the 8th Air Force and show how escort flying is done.  I need some Group CO's and Wing CO's.

Looking forward to you showing up in Rookland.  Providing it stays on Thursday nights, and I don't get tied up having to do other stuff, I'm definitely going to be there. :x
