JOIN THE 49th FIGHTER GROUP TODAY!Tired of the same old mindless "Furballing"? Ready for someting different? Want to fly as part of a
TEAM? Then the 49th FG might be for
YOU.
We are looking for a few dedicated sim pilots that really like to fly, have an interest in WW2 Aviation and are interested in flying each sortie as "Realistic" & "Historical" as possible. We are looking for people who would like to actively participate in running the squad whether it be taking leadership positions or with technical or operational support. We are also looking for people who just want to fly and have a good time whether you are an "Ace" or a "Newby".
OPERATIONS:The 49th FG will operate using the MISSION PLANNER or have a set mission for every sortie that is practical. Our principal mounts will be the aircraft used by the “Historical” 49th FG in WW2 - The
P-38G/J/L LIGHTNING as our main aircraft and the
P-40E WARHAWK &
P-47D THUNDERBOLT when the P-38 isn't available. We operate with an emphasis on both Intercept and Ground Attack missions. We will also operate using original WW2 USAAF tactics, formations & radio procedures so that you will get as close to that "feeling" of actually flying the missions as you can get - short of actually being shot at.
During times when our main squad a/c aren't available such as the early war ETO or MTO scenarios we will fly the appropriate Allied aircraft available.
SQUAD TIMES:The 49th FG flies at the following times:
SQUAD NIGHTS:
Tuesday & Thursday at 9:00pm EST in the AVA Arena (Depending on terrain).
FSO’s:
Friday Nights at 11:00 EST in the SEA as applicable.
TRAINING NIGHT:
Sunday night at 9:00 pm EST in the TA, this is an informal night to get down on basics and training for future Combat Sorties.
SPECIAL EVENTS:
We will also fly in the Special Event Scenarios AH has from time to time if there is enough interest among the squad's pilots.
OUR GOALS:The 49th FG's goal is for all members to enjoy participating in a squadron experiencing all the sim has to offer. While at the same time trying to capture the feeling of WWII combat flying.
We are also looking to build a squad with a positive attitude, that will operate honorably in the AVA arena and Special Events.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR ME? 1. As this is a newly forming squad, Leadership positions are open and you can get in at the ground level.
