Thunderbolt -- straight from the hand of Zeus himself!

Come fly the mighty Thunderbolt, made of wrath and might.  Smite the Japanese airplanes rumored to be made of paper.

Join us for fun, action, and camaraderie  :aok -- in the March Scenario "Leyte", in the skies of the Philippines.

Have your wife fly bombers with us!  I would love that!

If she's willing to attend my training sessions an hour or two per week, I'll have her up to speed by frame 1.

I'm already doing that with 2-3 other brand-new players who never flew any air sim in their lives.

Brooke's a great guy to fly with. I flew several scenario's with him. He taught me an attack technique with the B5N2 and how it can drop like a stone and then set up easily for the torpedo launch. Great fun. I flew the North Africa scenario with you to Brook, I think with B-25's remember? That was a great looking map. I always wished it could have been incorporated into the game. :aok

I remember those good times, Bombrich! 

Also, a very fun Battle of Britain, where you and I were in He 111's:

Oh yeah we flew the BOB together too, I forgot. I remember that huge flock of RAF appearing, I think they were all Hurri's. I flew a 111 that time. Good times.
