Please join us -- pilots needed for battle in Philippines
« on: July 15, 2010, 04:28:32 AM »
We need more pilots to join us, flying for the Emperor in the upcoming scenario Philippine Phandango -- a late-war battle in the Philippines.  It starts July 31.



It is November, 1944, and MacArthur has returned. With the battle of Leyte Gulf just completed, the Fleet Carrier Task Forces of the US Navy have moved off to hit the northern islands of the Philippines. On Leyte, units of General Kenney's Fifth Air Force and several Navy and Marine squadrons remain to cover the newly gained foothold. The Japanese, intent on reversing the recent tide of battle, have moved several elite aviation units to the Philippines with the start of Operation Sho-Go 1. Both sides are desperate and going all out to win control of the skies and seas of the southern Philippines.
 
It will be the F4U-1A & D, P-38J & L, P-47D-25, FM-2, B-24J, and B-25C & H, against the N1K2-J, Ki-84, Ki-61, A6M5b, and Ki-67. The whole of the southern Philippine Islands is a battlefield, featuring dogfights in the sky, strategic bombing of targets on the land, and antishipping attacks and ship vs. ship battles at sea.
 
Please join us for the fight!

I'm the worst pilot ingame ya know!!!

It's all unrealistic crap requested by people who want pie in the sky actions performed without an understanding of how things work and who can't grasp reality.

Yes, the US zone for Eastern Standard Time (est) and New York falls in that time zone.

Hi Brooke!

Just one question... I would like to participate but I will not be able to attend all frames. Would that be a problem?

Thank you in advance,

Cheers

Sparrow, we would love to have you play.  If you will be there for all frames but one, go ahead and register.  If you will miss more than one frame or aren't sure which frames you'll be able to attend, please show up by Show-Up Time (3 pm Eastern) on game day as a "walkon".

A walkon is a person who is not registered but is showing up to play.  Walkons have always gotten planes to fly and are assigned to sides and squadrons that need more pilots.

If I am correct, you may register if you only miss one Frame. The Test frame is not part of that rule, IMHO.
You would qualify to register and get your ride, since you are available and can commit to 2nd,3rd and 4th frames.
We would love to have you!!
