New Bish F4U Squad, VMF-312 Checkerboarders
« on: April 12, 2008, 02:37:34 PM »
Fly Bish, looking for a squad, love the F4U or want to learn the F4U then VMF-312 might be for you.

We started as an AVA squad of 4 and I have decided to take it to the Main Arenas now. In the AVA we fly the F4U when available and will take objectives from the Allied CO. In The MA we will fly fighter sweeps, escort for buffs, high and low cover to protect CVs and assist in any CV raid and mission available at to us. Or any missions squad members want to fly, everyone gets to put in a word on what mission we want to fly.

The main rides are the F4U-1A and -1D but will still fly the -1, -4 and -1C at each members wish.

I know people like to fly certain aircraft some times so we will not limit ourselves to just the F4U, I like to fly the F6F, Typhoon, IL-2 and A6M. So don't worry about being locked down to a few plans. Heck if you can show me how to fly a 109 that would be great

Were very laid back and here to have fun and have good time with other F4U pilots.

Only real requirements are that:
A: Your past your two week trial and a paying customer
B: Headset to communicate (not a big deal but makes the game much easier when you can talk to each other)

You can find me in the MA or AVA flying under Tex01; you can leave a message here or email me at ls1priddy@sbcglobal.net

You can also look for Coog03 in the AVA.

Lol, I think there's more F4U squads out there fighting over recruits, than there are F4U PILOTS. ;)
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

If we were smart we'd all band together under the VF-17 banner. Ahem. ;)

(Was great flying FSO with you guys last night! Good group!)

And to not make this a hostile hijacking of a potential new F4U squadron - good luck, Checkerboarders!  :salute

Sax and company seems more active than us, presently (and gracious enough to adopt the occasional Jolly Roger stray from time to time) ... but you're always welcome.  :)

AWESOME!! :)

Tex01 & Coog03 have the VF-31 Tomcatters utmost respect as individuals & can see this squad kicking arse and taking names in the near future.

Good luck on the new squad.

 :salute

I flew with Tex01 for long time in my squad. Tex is a great pilot and even better person.

I wish you the best with your new squad! :aok
