Crazy. Good flying with you today. The squad greatly enjoyed having you along.

*Bump*
So...  What kind of squad flying can peeps expect to see in VMF-251?  Semi-Regimented to the point you're in the AAF again?
Strict by the book stuff?
Laid back grab a partner and dance?

Might be tempted to go back to the Hog if unit cohesiveness is good.

Rook eh? :(

Damn shame... :cry

From what I've seen of them they are pretty good buncha guys that just wanna have fun. Some are in the learning stage but they sure enjoy flying together. IMHO, that's half the battle, You can always learn to dogfight but it's sometimes hard to fly with like minded guys.

Ref...rooks a country is a country. It's who you fly with thats important.

We're looking to build cohesiveness as a unit. That being said we've been a bit looser than when first started, (we used to meet in the lobby, take off together, try and fly close formation en route, etc) in part because of the flakiness of the C/O getting his butt online, (in my defense, RL has been kicking my bellybutton in a number of ways) however I'd like to get back to being a bit more regimented.

Generally we do try to lift together, however some circumstances that's obviously not always possible. We had a good hop last night where we ended up tangling with half the Nit airforce on Sm Pizza and managed to get everyone home. :D

You guys got any day of the week for a traning fly or something so we can se how we do.

If you guys keep flying the F4U and also flying together Iam considering in joining. If I need to pass something Ill do it.



What time ou normaly fly, also I work in advertising so my time scheduel is very mix. but Ill always try to fly in weeks for 1 or 2 hours a night.

We were using Wednesday nights as a training night, although due to schedule issues during the week there wasn't generally weren't many of us on.

Our "official" squadron nights are Saturdays and Sundays at 8pm EST/7pm CST (sort of a, "can't get a consensus on which is best so screw it we'll make it both" thing, lol). However we join up any time there's a couple of us on, which there's usually SOMEONE on, especially in the evenings, throughout the week. As I mentioned before, we also intend to begin regularly participating in scenarios and snapshots requiring F4U drivers.

Really, the only important criteria we have is a love of the Corsair, and an interest in teamwork. We've never established any sort of structured "try out."
