This Friday 27 May 16 MEGA MISSION
« on: May 25, 2016, 09:34:52 AM »
All Players:
 
  This Month the 49th and 325th FG’s will host a MEGA MISSION and all are invited to join.

  Link to the mission brief:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvppGJKoIZI  provides the date and time of the mission.  Plenty of time to prepare and invite your guys.  The more the merrier and the larger the turnout the better the mission.
 
   Late War Arena

        The mission will launch from a Rook base

        An event open to all members of the Aces High Community 49th & 325th Fighter Groups will host a B-17 Mega Mission on Friday May 27, 2016

        Mission posts at 8:30 PM Central Time (02:30 Zulu)

        Mission Rolls at 9:00 PM Central Time (03:00 Zulu)

  Squads will be able to fly as bombers or as fighter support.  Intent is put into the air a crushing amount of bombers being supported by a large number of fighters.  And be a part something really BIG.  The Bomber right now is the B17, but nothing stops you from upping in a bomber of your choice and tying into the group.  The fighters will be your or your squad’s choice along with when you up and escort and then drop out.  You’ll just want something with long range capability.
 
  You can expect to fly a long mission 1-2 hours.  A little less for the fighters who will be able to up a little later after the bombers are at alt.  Exact targets will be selected based on the map at the time.  And exact targets and briefings will be in the air to maintain security.
 
  You may have to switch sides in the Late War Arena to participate.  The 325th will have to switch.

May Mega Mission as a great success.  A 2 1/2 hour running gun fight at 30K.  One of the best fights Ive been in a long time.

If you missed it you missed out on a great one.  60 X B17's escorted by 30 X Fighters.  Being attacked by 50+ enemy fighters for 2 1/2 hours straight!!

There will be another Mega Mission in June on the off FSO Friday Night.  Get a hold of the 49th and stay in touch via email.  Their contact info is in the movie clip at the beginning of this thread.
