Spitfires, bah.  Hurricanes were the real brawlers of the Battle of Britain! 


And in AH the Hurri is a much tougher fight for the Emil.

Spitfires filled up rather quickly. Unofficially, there's been some talk of volunteers to switch over from pits to Hurricanes if that will draw more volunteers. It's not set in stone yet.

If you want to fly a spit and you can convince an existing player that has registered to hand over the keys then I will make the necessary adjustments.

However with our objective being solely based on destroying German attack aircraft the Hurricane provides the best and most durable gun platform to do so.

Needless to say it could kick 2 109's in a turnfight.   However I am flying a Spitfire for tactical reasons  ;)  and my mom doesn't go chippy in her slippers.

Grab a Hurricane and FIGHT the horde or die trying.

Why don't you give up your Spitfire slot and lead by example.

Our squad is half and half,    I am leading by example by volunteering to play scout, something I have not done before but seeing as no-one else jumped at it, I will do it with guile and cunning hopefully ensuring some successful intercepts.  The Spitfire is the fastest plane to do this.

Now shida I still don't see you or zack registered.

Ah Adrian Warburton mode eh. Good luck old chap. Watch out for the Hun in the Sun.

Zack might attend, apparently he's gone full Ivan with the event of the new Yak.

Unfortunately if you look way in the back of an out of the way hangar in the MA you will find nrshida's Ki-84 with the plugs and oil out and a cover over the cockpit. Hope to be back soon.

I'm having technical trouble.  When I try to register it does not recognize my login credentials

Is the credentials your BBS, AH account, or some other account specific to events?

Hi Ammo,
The ahevents account is separate from the BBS and AH.
visit www.ahevents.org and create a new account.   Use a valid email address, and when you register, check that email for confirmation instructions.  Then, simply log in, hit the registration page and pick a side and plane.
If you have any problems, let me know, I check the forums throughout the day and evening and can help with the registration process.
ROC
Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Actually I've been using yours. Seems HQ refuses to send any more replacements due to the rate I've been going through them. :(

I currently registered with 609 Sqn in Spits. If there is somebody that really wants to fly Spits I'll let them have my spot and I'll take a Hurricane assignement.  :salute
