No. 800 SQUADRON F.A.A. IS RECRUITING
« on: March 01, 2004, 11:51:42 PM »

NUNQUAM NON PARATUS
"Never Unprepared"

Tired of the same old mindless "furballing"? Ready for someting different? Want to fly as part of a TEAM? Then No. 800 Squadron F.A.A. might be for YOU.

We are looking for a few dedicated sim pilots that really like to fly, have an intrest in WW2 Carrier Avaition and are interested in flying each sortie as "realisticly" & "historically" as possible. We are looking for people who would like to actively participate in running the squad whether it be taking leadership positions or with technical or operational support. We are also looking for people who just want to fly and have a good time weather you are an "Ace" or a "Newby".

Operations:
The No. 800 Sqdn. will operate using the MISSION PLANNER or have a set mission for every sortie that is practical. Our principal mounts will be the aircraft flown by the FLEET AIR ARM of the ROYAL NAVY in WW2. Namely the SEA HURRICANE, SEAFIRE, WILDCAT, HELLCAT & CORSAIR with an emphasis on Intercept and Ground Attack missions. We will also operate useing original WW2 F.A.A. tactics, formations & radio procedures so that you will get as close to that "feeling" of actually flying the missions as you can get without getting shot.

No. 800 Sqdn. is also a member of  CARRIER AIR GROUP 44 and we often fly co-op missions with our sister squadrons VF-17, VF-27 & VBF-83 for even more mission emersion. These missions usually are flown on the Thursday squad night.

Squad Times:
No. 800 Sqdn. squad nights are TUESDAY & THURSDAY at 10:00pm EST in the Combat Theater (CT) (Depending on terrain). 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 and we can get our aircraft from the carriers.
We also hold an informal Practice Scession every Sunday night at 9:00 pm EST in the TA or DA.

Our Goals:
No. 800 Sqdn.'s goal is to become no less than the #1 squad in Aces High. At the same time we are out to have fun with our hobby and hang with our friends and squadmates - that is the MAIN goal.

What's in it for me you ask?
1. As this is a newly forming squad, Leadership positions are open and you can get in at the ground level.
2. Training will always be available for any "Newbys" who would like to join. No experience necessary. Just bring a willingness to learn and work within the team.
3. You will be able to input your ideas for operations and missions to be flown by the squad.
4. You will always have someone there to help watch your 6 and to clear you if you get into trouble.
5. Your own personalized A/C on the squad webpage with your nose art.
6. There is a dedicatated Command Structure in place for the squad. Rank, leadership positions and awards have to be EARNED. They are not just freely given out.
7. Your kill streaks and awards displayed on the squadron kill board for all to see.
8. Access to the Squad Forum on the AH BBS where information on all subjects are exchanged.
9. Lastly flying with a squad will increase your flying experence by 100%.

Requirements:
*You must be 18 years of age.
*You must have a full time account with AH.
*You must have a account here on the AH BBS as we have a private forum for the squad.
*You must be able to be present for both squad nights the biggest part of the time.
* You must carrier qualify to become a member of the squad.
* You need not be an "Expert" pilot to join. Totally "Newby's" are just as welcome. We will train you so that you will enjoy your flying experence more.

All that we ask is that you bring the right "Attitude" and be willing to learn, fly as a TEAM with your squad mates and go by the squad rules. "Lone Wolf", "Me Me Me" and "Scorepotato" types need not apply.


If this sounds good to you and you would like to find out more, check out the website listed below my signature. (Be sure to sign the GUESTBOOK so we will know of your visit).
There is also an e-mail link below if you have any questions you would like to ask.
If you are ready to apply to become one of the pilots of No. 800 Squadron report to my office aboard H.M.S. Emperior for duty.

!

GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING! :aok
