Title: Saturday Night 'Check Six' Event - Normandie
Post by: vadr on August 15, 2000, 10:26:00 PM

One of the truly great aviation stories of World War II is of the Normandie-Niemen Groupe, a volunteer Free French fighter regiment that served on the Eastern Front for almost the entire campaign. A total of 95 pilots flew with the regiment...42 of whom were lost in combat. Overall they claimed 273 aerial victories against the Luftwaffe over the course of 5,240 operational sorties.

Come recreate the Air Battles around Smolensk in the Summer of 1944 in the Saturday Night 'Check Six' Event.

RAM I get up for work at 5:30AM, each and every day of the week.

Your saying you can't get up that early, once, for a special Luftwaffe vs VVS rumble?

Hmmmmmmm........

I don't know what I'd want to do more, fly  Yaks with Verm or try to ensure there's at least one Axis pilot flying this event.

Last week, at 11PM there weren't many players online. At midnight, there were only a couple.

I guess the best hours are 8PM to 10PM ET.
