This scenario looks like something I could get into.

Five frames shorter than the former Air Warrior events but still "worthy". :)

I'm hoping my R.L schedule will allow me to sign on for one of the B-17 rides.

  =GB=


I will do one better than that Gypsy.

You decide to fly, we will let you lead a bomber squadron one frame.

We can brief you the evening before and get you up to speed quickly on the plan for that frame.

Just like good old times.

If your interested.

<S> All,

The Pigs on The Wing have gladly accepted Oneway's request to participate as Allied pilots.  We look forward to working with the other Allied squadrons and meeting the Axis squadrons in combat over Germany!

Well, most of us at least will accept Oneway's invitation.   :noid   :devil

GB, awesome post!  Thanks for that! <S>

Yep, there was huge commitment in those days for bombers.  1 bomber (no formations), dedicated gunners, 1 life, $12/hour then $6/hour (until it became flat rate).  Yikes! :)

I'm positive Oneway will get back with you, GrnEagle. Registration opens at 12 noon Eastern tomorrow (Sunday). :) I would strongly encourage those interested to review all available information pertaining to this scenario thoroughly and train.

Green Eagle,

I have been boxing out and holding open the 447'th Bomb Group, 3'rd Bombardment Division for you guys.

It's only 9 bombers (B-17G)....it is the last slot left in our Command unit.

Allied Command stands ready and welcomes your unit should you be willing to accept our invitation.

The door is open, and being held open.

Respectfully,

Oneway

What makes you think I will even fly a plane?

I might just "sit this one out"...and move "chess pieces" around while playing paper Air Marshall.

Now of course if I do fly...go ahead and attempt to penetrate our multi-layered defenses...once through that...we will welcome you with open arms to the 50 caliber meat grinder.

You guys are gonna get one pass on our bombers. Make it count.
