The subject came up yesterday between three of us about finally establishing a squad night. Initially, I thought it was a bit early being we're still quite small. But after discussing it, we came up with Saturday nights at 7pm (MDT) (9 Eastern).

We'll plan a mission (or missions, situation depending) with the 91st Bomb Group's core aircraft, the B17 Flying Fortress. Thes missions will be run at high or medium altitude, appropriate to their historic roll. As our squad grows over time, we will add an appropriate fighter escort element (historically the 354th Fighter Group) lead by someone competent and confident in thier ability to fly and fight in the P51 and P47, and patient enough to train others in that roll.

While we will uphold that standard for squad night, all other times are pretty much free to do whatever. We are not a strict regemented squad. We're just a bunch of guys interested in fun and friendship. I know some of you will roll your eyes at this, but we will remain Bish. That's where a lot of my long time buddies are.

To the (friendly) foes, we look forward to the action and the fun. <S> :)

You are always welcome, Banshee7.

Sorry for the bump, but this is a mid-week reminder that we will conduct our first squad night this Saturday, 7pm MDT. I was asked about it by several folks, and this is the result we came up with. The core elements for this squad's squad nights are the B17 bomber, and appropriate escorts, the P51 and P47, as history has documented. Skins will either reflect the 91st Bomb Group, or the 354th fighter group for our squad. Any other squads who would like to help wing with us using your expertise in Allied air power are welcome. Vox channel is 191.

***This is a trial run.***

You guys on the other side of the fence, let's have some fun, shall we? :cool: :t

We are still recruiting members who have an active appreciation for this roll of aerial combat and heavy bombardment. Patience, dedication, & maturity is a must if you value the realism this kind of combat (with regard to the game) offers. Most other nights are pretty free-form, however, because Aces High is about fun above all else.

Check us out! Squad link is in my sig. I will do my best to confirm registrations to the site. <S>

I'm contemplating about disbanding the mongorians and joining up with the 91st as an escort pilot.

Let me know, bud. You're welcome to hang with us as long as you need. I'd love it if someone knowledgable could expand on the 354th's roll in escorting the 91st. We keep putting missions together, and both the bombers and the escorts find action high in the sky. Makes for fun & good times.

Our *trial run* squad night is tomorrow at 7pm MDT. As said before, our squad will fly the 91st and 354th skins. We'll see how it goes.

P.S.: Welcome to the 91st, TTflier. <S>

Well, not a bad start to a humble beginning for the 91st Bomb Group. We got side tracked with some impromptu action elsewhere, so our official start was delayed. However, the one mission we set out to do in true 91st Bomb Group dress code was a good one, with lots of help from several other squads. <S>

I'm holding out hope that there will be others interested in realistic bomber/escort action. Everyone involved tonight reportedly had lots of fun.

Same time, same station, next squad night. :cool:

With the help of one of our future squadmates (I promise I'll get to you ;)), we will have a new website location coming soon. Will advise when he is ready.

Also, welcome to the 91st, IFooped. <S>. :cool:

New website is uploading at the moment.  It's going to take a few hours for the subdomain to propagate through the DNS servers.. I hope it will be up soon
