Also understand that both teams are working their tails off recruiting and doing all kinds of things to make this both fun and interesting.  And Im talking about more then just the team CO/XO combos.  GLs have been working hard to fill slots and many of the folks involved as pilots are offering their time to contribute to the build up and the history going into this thing.

It's not expected but sure appreciated and encouraged  :aok

<------ this guy is tired...not as tired as the lead CMs but the GL's XOs' and OPS Officers are involved in our crew.
Just making lists on rosters, recruiting, BBS name, planning element leads as well as flight leads and wingmen.  Trying to figure
out who  flies with who.  Jug training in some instances...not the MA type but the high alt escort/interceptor role.
And not to mention real life work.  This is really a labor of love for a lot of us.  Immersion is what can happen when two
serious opposing disciplined crews get together realizing the history behind it, the fun to be had trying to emulate it,
 and the men who actually flew and made history.  All these things combined equal one thing.  FUN!
 It sure helps take my mind off of real world problems for awhile.  That is what fun is for. This is what DGSII can become! 
It's up to all of us.
It is, in the end, our fault if we don't have fun. The tools are here.

this is the 2nd time in 2 days you have gotten pissy with someone about this event, mabe you need to chill out and understand that not everyone will see things your way or want to follow you in your ways. telling people directly or indirectly to "piss off" wont vote well for you in your quest to have people "join in the fun".

I don't know about the first time, I did not see it,  but this time he's dead on. Why would someone complain about not being able to join when all they have to do is say "i want in".

Even worse they actualy want someone to hold a spot for them just in case they want to join at the last minute. Last time I checked there are many things you don't get to do if you don't stand up and take your turn.

There are many slots open.... join in!

lol  Well it's OK Zoney.... we all  think of Yankees as being similar to hemorrhoids. They come down and go back up... they are OK. They come down and stay down and they are a pain in the arse.   :rofl     :cheers:

Noir......we have a spot in the 56th if you want it.  You're always welcome along side our bunch you know that.

Just PM me.  If you'd rather fly Axis my good friend Stampf is leading JG/11.

No finer group then the gents of JG/11.  I'm sure he'd also roll out the red carpet for you!


Flattery will get you...everywhere, Hajo.

We'll give your Jugs a free pass Frame 1, but after that... I'm sorry my friend we'll have to shoot you down.
