475th Fighter Group "Satan's Angels"
« on: February 15, 2016, 07:28:57 PM »


Introduction:
Since I have created the Squadron in the game, I figured I might as well put my shingle out here and try to get the 475th up and running.

First off, my callsign is Pudgy after Tommy McGuire's five P-38s. I'm 38 years old and live in Ohio. I'm married with three (soon to be 4) kids and work as a Project Manager.


Why the 475th:

I created the 475th for my own gratification because it is my favorite group, and it gives me an excuse to get better in the Lightnings. I've been reading up on the squadron and group histories and the 475th has a great and colorful history that should always be remembered here and anywhere. They have some great skins in game so that was also a good fit for me.

I want to keep a strong Pacific Theater in general and specifically 5th Air Force theme in the squadron. We will focus on the P-38 of coarse, but I enjoy flying all of the 5th Air Force birds.


Squad Objectives:

The immediate objective of the 475th is to get a few core members who can fly in an element and flight so we can get used to working together. The real 475th focused on teamwork and that is what made them very successful, that's what I want out of squad members here as well. Once we have a few members I would be glad to lead group the into the FSO arena.

If you feel that you would fit in and be of a like mind regarding squadron theme and operations then I'd be glad to have you.

Contact Info:

I've just today created a webpage to support the squadron. I'm working on adding things as we speak.

Anyone interested in joining or just stopping by to say hello can click on signature or check it out directly at: http://475fg.enjin.com/

Thanks for reading and Salute to friend and foe alike!

So are you talking a 38 only group. Or are you talking a fly what you want to in the arena but whenever possible you want 38s in the FSO and Scenario scene?

 I like the 38 and historicaly it is on off the best fighters of the war but its like driving a bus in here.  I cannot fly planes but I am really bad in a bus

If your interested in trying out FSO until you can build your squad numbers, PM me and we can add you and any of your squad mates in.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I'm suspecting number four arrived and things got busy(er).

Arlo is indeed correct! I was on last night for a little bit trying to knock the rust off. Should be around more today too. looks like my picture got messed up when I was cleaning up my photobucket. Is there any way to fix it now?

I'll be flying knights on channel 138 if anyone wants to wing up.

The only way I can think of is loading them back on PB with the exact same titles as before and perhaps the internet can find them again. Otherwise, you can re-post them in this thread and the originals will just be kitties (or whatever PB decides to use in lieu of). Welcome back. And congrats! (You better get them all interested in AH or your interests will be divided. ;) )
