WANTED: brave pilots to fly La-5 in combat!
« on: September 29, 2009, 09:19:56 PM »
I need 7 brave, dependable pilots to fly La-5's with me in the mighty 229 IAD sqadron in the upcoming "Red Storm - Krupp Steel" scenario.



Come be part of the Red Storm with me.  Let's fly a great dogfighter and battle some Germans!

If you are interested, please register here and put "La-5's with Brooke" into the comment box:

If you can commit to flying in each frame and keep that commitment -- that's what I mean by "dependable".  I don't care if you are a womanizer, gambler, and troublemaker in town after missions.  A bunch of our pilots are like that! :)

I'd like to fly in the scenario too, I just can't commit myself to getting 3 hours sleep before the event (I work nights).

It really is too bad, looks like the Russians are vastly outnumbered according to the AH Event sign up page.

edit: it is disappointing, considering FSO routinely has more people than scenarios. You'll never get a better opportunity to fly with people you don't know and some of us have made lasting friendships with scenarios.

If it doesn't fill up soon we will have to resort to historically accurate recruitment policies.

His most-flown weapon?  The La-5!

Ok Brooke, you got 1 more really bad fighter pilot here...was gonna sign up on the Axis side but the Ruskky side is outnumbered as of today. Send the cookies to the Nazi horde with some strychnine on them.




Allies: 70 players registered out of 152 available positions.
Axis: 116 players registered out of 144 available positions.

Just put in for a B-25 slot, but if you need fighter pilots I'd be up for flying the P-39 as well. :)
