Very cool screenshots, guys.

Do you folks often fly in formation?

Do you use actual multi-plane tactics (other than pulling a bogey up on a rope for a wingman to blast)?

Do you use comms to good effect or is it just a channel for friendly banter?

Thanks!

we are a bunch of easy going guys, so radio channel is both banter, jokes, and then also wingman and combat tactics

when on a squad mission we try our best to all get in formation, and we try to use historical tactics and we wing together a lot

Uhhhh, Batty.... er.... not to be picky... but...... HTC says its 31.....




So: RUN FAST FELLAS! for the last spot in this Squad HAS to be filled.... If youre fairly fit and have a good condition, you just barely might escape them :D.



Kidding. Great group to fly with. Great wings, good sports and laid-back and fun to keep company.

after the Pink Panther started prowling around in that particular spit9,  have found that it immediately draws the attention of all cannons and MGs within 4k by default.

Flew with these guys just a bit ago, fun group! And they don't only just fly Spitties, they'll fly in 109s! GASP!

I'm lookin' to join since my group kinda just fizzled out and I'm looking to be part of an active squadron.

Very nice screenshots, I to am a Spit pilot, and have been for years,
most ppl say Spit's are for noob's, not true.
95% who say this are the one's who are being shot down by Spit's.
Keep up the good work.

We're at 60 total between 2 wings now I believe.

We've had some really good fighter sweeps as of late. A flight is full at 32 and B flight is at 28 I think.

See BatfinkV for deatils.

Thanks all for the nice words. We're not a demanding squad at all. Just laid back and having fun. The only "demand" we may make of anyone....HAVE FUN!!!!!!!  Thats it.

Just an endorsement from the way back machine...

The 71st MUST be a class act unit to have such a cool CO as RedTop!

Cheers!
