Squad still around?

The squad is still here.  Life seems to be getting in the way, in some form or another, of everyone playing steady.  I seem to be online the most, nearly every day.  I see Cremator a lot, and Sandy and UncleSi most weeks.  DMZ has been popping in more.  It's good that the economy is picking up and we're all busy.  But busy = less time to play.  I'm hopefull that we'll get back in the groove.  I miss GV'ing with DMZ, flying with Si and Rico and the guys, and bombing with buff.  Buff got the squad pretty adept at flattening bases and strats.

We are always recruiting, and I have invite privileges.  Just look for 8thJinx in Late War (WWI DA during map resets).  I rotated over to Rooks to reconnect with Wizzy, 53Mech, Bama and the guys for a little bit.  A little "hey man, how have you been" tour.  The 8thAF was Rook for a few months last year, and think its important to mingle with the community once or twice a year.  So for now I'm rook, some are still Knights.   

Also, CSI147, sorry I got your Jagdpanther the other night.  I couldn't resist.  I know your favorite parking spot.

Yeah, it's been tough to get online in the past month for me. (KB on Knights).. It's seeding time for us farmer folk and I had to jump on the tractor for a month, it doesn't handle as well as my N1K or P-47M, but it's got lots of power!

I am still on Knights at the moment, but the 8th is still alive and kicking. Just a matter of having the numbers on at the same time!  I've been jumping in with the FreeBirds for strategic bombing when my 8th squaddies are not available.

Mighty 8th is still looking for members!

Our numbers have faded a bit in the past month, but with summer upon us and all those summer-booze related activities, not all pilots have reported in for duty.  :old: AWOL!

Our CO is currently away from the game, but we still have invite capability, so if you'd like to join the strategic bombing wing of the 8th, I'll be in the skies!

My B-17 and gunner crew sees a fair amount of action on weeknights; I would love for you to join me either as another bomber crew, or fighter cover. We are flexible!

As our poor countrymen seem to be best at a defence furball based upon reactionary reports from country channel, the Mighty 8th is trying to implement Pickup Missions at a regular interval while our pilots are online.

Pickup Mission will usually be very basic in aircraft selection, and be named some variation of "Mighty 8th". Hope to see you there!

Well gents,  I brought home a National Championship!   :rock 

CTA Doubles Champ.

Good to see you back Buff! Look forward to getting back in the skies. Oh, and Shriike is my father who is not what I would call "savvy" when it comes to the computers. He just grabs the stick and hits the throttle  :joystick:  :old:  so don't be offended if he doesn't respond. I'm working on getting him up to speed!

Mighty 8th!

Any interest in joining the Friday Squad Operations? I've been asked if we would be interested in joining up (as there aren't many of us active) with an existing squad.

I'm interested but, dont' want to exclude any of our brethren. What do you guys think? Am I lone wolfing this?  :bolt:
