I have to say I've flown with these guys and they are very knowledgeable, and down right nice chaps to boot!!! So if you like to fly any of the F4U models then give them a holler!!

We meet at 8pm EST and 7pm CST, so you can take your pick.

Most of what you need to know about us is at our site, although it IS a little out of date. I keep meaning to get back to that.

Our main squad night is currently Saturday 8pm Eastern US time / 7pm Central. We also generally gather Wednesdays during the same time. I mostly fly weekends of late, but can try and make it up Wednesday. We fly Rooks, primarily in the LW arenas.

Our main ride is the F4U-1A with hops in the -4 if we need some extra uberness, and the -1 if the others are unavailable, as we're predominantly an air-to-air squad (1A is simply better suited to strict air to air combat than the 1D). We generally use the Charlie and 1D if we're expecting to do air-to-ground work or intend to drop iron before mixing into the furball.

We have 8 active members on the roster and are looking to expand. Ideally I'd like to be able to get ops going with at least a dozen pilots in the air at once (so the high-end target is going to be 16-18 to allow for no-shows/etc).

Sounds good. Ill try to look for you whenever iam around in any of the 2 lw arenas. Got a question. I use to fly the A1 and then I jump to the D. I hear that both of them are the same in speed and firepower exept the aditional ordenance in the D.

I know the A1 seems to turn better that the D but for me both do the same. I also know that the A model have more fuel tank available. So question is is the A and D same in speed and climing with no ordenance and same fuel. and turning ability.

No question in the -4 know is beeter than anything only hate to loose points when I get kill.
and C the cannons.

F4U-1A is actually a good deal faster, (by 25-50mph at altitude. 1A clears 412mph at 20,000ft, 1D I think maxes at 375) and is the superior turner of the 1-series Hogs (only marginally so over the -1, but enough to make a slight difference vs the 1D)

CrazyOWl · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2007, 04:56:47 PM »

cool. Ill give him a try again, see what I can get up there. Ill look for you to fly your wing if that ok. I think i saw you a couple of times in TA.

VMF-251 is still recruiting F4U pilots. In addition to work in the MA, we'll also be starting to fly Snapshots and Scenarios wherever Hogs are required. We've got a good crew and whether green or experienced are looking for anyone with a love of the Bent Wing Bird.

CrazyOWl · « **Reply #13 on:** August 23, 2007, 01:23:23 PM »

whats The Buccaneers stand for. is that was a real squadron name?

Saxman · « **Reply #14 on:** August 23, 2007, 02:34:21 PM »

We fly Rooks. Our two main squad nights are Saturday and Sunday at 7pm CST (8pm EST) however there's generally one or two of us on throughout the week in the evenings. We had 5 on last night participating in the Rabaul Snapshot (that reminds me...I need to "create" the squad in the SEA arena...).

Most of the time we're in one of the two LW arenas, however occaisonally will pop up in MW.
