Go ahead -- prove them wrong
« on: October 08, 2009, 09:24:24 PM »
It's a small pub, out of the way and not well known by the general population, but all of the seasoned fliers know it.  It is their place.

It's dimly lit, with a scratchy record playing on the Victrola, but I can make out the conversation -- and they are talking about all of us!

"Bah.  They are a bunch of lightweights," says one.  "Good only for capering around in about five aircraft out of the whole lot."

"Just the few late-war fighters is all -- the 'leet rides' they call 'em," says another shaking his head.

"I don't think they could handle planes like the A-20 or Il-2," says a third.  "Not in Eastern-Front action."  He takes a sip of beer.  "Not enough gumption to fight it out and push forward in something like that -- not in Red Storm."

Well, I have to tell you that I don't believe it.  I think that you folks can prove them wrong.  There are some manly men and womanly women already signed up, and there are more such out there.  More folks ready to sign up and to take the fight to the enemy.

Folks like *you*.

Folks ready to answer the call:  http://ahevents.org/scenario_registration.html

Folks ready to fly these:

  last night was the snapshot  "sand huggers" it was A-20s with p-38g escorts vs 109g2
   after ord was dropped, A-20s accounted for 7 out of the 27 109s downed in air to air combat.
   during this mission there was allot of peeps commenting on how they liked the A-20
   so for you guys that got a taste of it and enjoyed,please sign up.
    and for those that think it will be just another boring bomber run......  :lol ohhh HELL NO

I talked to two Russian women at work.  They didn't think American men or European men could hack it in these attack planes.  Nowhere near as gutsy as Russian women, they said.  Show us even a handful of people brave enough to fly those planes from among your thousands of cartoon pilots, they said.  I was mortified.

Gentlemen, some of you have to step forward to meet the call, for the honor of all!  :aok

We need only 12 more pilots.  Just 12.

Come on -- you know you want to "prove them wrong"!  ;)

Well under normal circumstances, I can't. But this is no ordinary scenario, this is the probably the last scenario of such epic proportions.
