Looking for a new home
« on: September 05, 2007, 04:30:19 PM »
Hello Aces High folks, I am the CO of the Avengers Squadron; a lot of you may remember us from another sim.  After 9 long years in that sim, we are looking for a new home.  Most of us have flown together for almost 10 years and we are a very tight bunch that does a lot of squad and country team work.  We will be poking around in your community to get the feel of things.  Please bare with us as it has been a very long time since we've had to learn a new flight sim.  If possible I would like one of the squads that knows us to perhaps sponser us while learning the ropes; I have a lot of old military guys that don't do so well with change, but they'll be ok.  Thx in advance.....

I hope you guys find a comfortable spot here in Aces High.

Don't know where you are coming from, but please bear with the smack takin' crap that constantly flows on our "all" text channel (CH 200). Ignore that and you will have tons of fun here.

We are coming from the same place as the 475th and should know most of those guys.  Also, you can't hurt any of my guys with words, not even with sticks after they've had a few; they give it as well as they take it ............

Well, we might be able to help each other out.

I now have command of an old AH squad (VF-17 "Jolly Rogers") that has low membership at the moment.  I'm trying to build it up again with more flying members (I've noticed we have about 3 that I'd classify as "active"), but am having trouble doing that because, well, would you want to be the 4th guy in such a small squad?

It's hard to recruit without a presence, is what I'm saying.

So, basically, I'd be more than happy to "sign you" for a few months and help you learn this game a little while you learn the ropes.  After that, you can stick around, or leave if you'd like to restart your old squad.  In the meanwhile, we could have some fun winging.

In return, I figure I'd have an easier time recruiting some new "long term" members.

It's a historical Corsair squadron, but we have no rules as to what you can fly.  Let me know what you think,

Welcome aboard..

The best advise I can give you is too tune out ch200, until you get into the groove of things.

Vudak, I appreciate your offer, but unfortunantely, we will all be coming over at the same time, and will of course start our squad in there.  But we'd sure be glad to wing up with anyone that's willng to help us learn the ropes.

Woops sorry sir :) I misread your post, when you said you were looking for a "sponsor" I thought that's what you meant (I'll admit, I was a bit confused at first :D )

Anyway, welcome aboard, and if you ever have any questions, give me a holler!  If I know the answer I won't hold out :D

I have to put  a plug in for the Axis vs. Allies arena.  Numbers are low but if you come in people will follow and the AvA crowd is a different sort of animal.

Personally I never fly MA (early ma sometimes) as it is just not interesting to me.  Not saying it does not have its place but I like the historical match ups of AvA.

Please swing through and meet the slower set.  Just remember to bring your manners and behave in a civil manner to all.
