Snapshots are open, walk on events that take place in the Special Events Arena (SEA). They offer the flavor of a historical match-up with a brief look at an event in history and it's outcome. Snapshots usually last 1 to 2 hours and are often a "one" life event so fly with care!

Snapshot - Torpedo 8
http://events.simladder.com/snapshot.php?snapshot_id=17 Grumman designed and built the TBF Avengers which entered the Pacific war in June of 1942. They made their fighting debut in the Battle of Midway. Assigned to operate from the U.S.S. Hornet was Torpedo Squadron 8. In just two days all of Torpedo Squadron 8 were to perish. Above is a painting reflecting the TBF of Lieutenant A.K. Bert Earnest piloting 8-T-1 toward the Japanese carrier Akagi. TBF 8-T-1 was the only surviving aircraft of Torpedo 8 during the first day of Midway.
We need TWO Volunteer CO's for both sides Friday night and Saturday afternoon.
