New Bomb Group: The Skeleton Crew
« on: July 03, 2026, 04:38:09 AM »
Decided a few weeks back to start up my own group (again).

Specializing in heavies and super heavies - namely the B29, I'm only looking for a few brave, patient souls to make it happen - hence the name. Not a huge outfit, but effective.

Bishop Vox: 182

We founding members have established a regular squad night (information to be shared via squad/group communications).

You are welcome to hang out with us and fly what we fly.
Bomber Perk Points are a must. Competency in flying the B29 (especially the full set) is helpful, but we are very patient and willing to bring someone up to speed.

We'll roll with it and see how well potential recruits and established members get along. A standard recruiting policy has not been finalized as of yet, but rest assured, it will be a month or two before an official invite is sent after group discussion.

<SALUTE>

<S> sir, and yeah, I get it.
I guess I've really had no desire to jump the cartoon fence since 2004 when I first subscribed. I've also commandeered the old Birds of Prey vox channel - my first ever squad I was invited to. There are just a lot of memories and still several guys from over 20 years ago that I still enjoy hanging out with.

Egg. I've been pondering a come back and it is great to see you are still in the game.  We had a lot of fun together back in the day!  You in a Yak9 and me in my Mossie going 1-1. :-)
I'm not sure if I will get back in the game but I wish you success in your new group.  For all those considering it, EGG is legit and one of the best out there!

Agreed Solar10, Thndregg is "Good People" in anyone's book.

You should come back to the game,check it out. We still have enough players to keep  you busy and a lot of new maps to play on. Not to mention FSO is still active and intense. We also have several weekly special arena events.  :salute

Appreciate the good word..   yeah, Solar.. I missed you, too!

Anyway, it's still on, but with some real-life hiccups. I've got a flight scheduled to head back Stateside from the Philippines very soon, and one or two others have had stuff come up. We should pull it off better this coming fall & winter when numbers usually pick up.

I think what we'll do is very similar to what the Dickweeds do regarding a recruitment policy: Two months to see if you like us and we like you.
As I've said, you'll need the points and the patience for getting these fat pigs off the ground and landed the best you can. Takes some doing.

I'll do my best to update in the near future. <S>

Since coming back Stateside, I've run into more time to develop the Skeleton Crew project.

Got a rough draft chart drawn up for stick formation slots. One (or possibly two) still open. If you have passion for flying these things for what they were designed for, give us a shout on the Bishop side of the fence. <SALUTE>

Skeleton Crew has one spot open for someone with the perks and the patience to pilot a flight of B29's. We could perhaps invite two more. We are a Bishop bomber group. More information available from Matahari, PorkyPig, or myself directly in-game. <S>
