Thanks for running these, Easyscor.

This has got to be as close to Combat Tour as we can get right now.   Even though I've flown plenty in the MA, flying Close Escort really gets me pumped.     The short distance icons and fog of war without radar REALLY add to the tension.

My gunnery and flying both suffer because my hands are shaking so.  
I blew every approach shot I had; overshooting my targets constantly.   It seems harder to judge your closure speed.   The pilots are probably better than average quality with less brand-new folks there, but I find it a real enjoyable challenge.

I've flown in two frames now and really appreciate you guys' efforts to make these happen.

I just started flying in these and have flown in the two most recent.  It's a lot of fun.

If you like them, folks, please help recruit more players.  Recruit squad mates and tell people about it in the main arena, especially Saturday and Sunday before the event.

It's a lot of fun, and more folks need to know about it! :)
