If it requires a sign-up by a CO (such as FSO) then you must ask another squad that's signed up if you can fly with them. Sometimes you can get there early and ask around, but this may or may not result in your invitation to fly with "squad X"

If it's something like a scenario or a snapshot, you do not need to sign up as a squad. You can sign up individually for scenarios, and snapshots require that you only show up and participate.


What, specifically, were you thinking of doing? There's a whole bunch and they usually have different rules

FSO  (Friday night) is the only event thats Squad based .
But as Krusty said if you show up and Ask someone you know or a participating squad if you can fly with them ...  Theres ussually a few extra spots they'll let you fill in.

I myself have been doing this for over a year as for there isnt enough players in my MA squad that have interest in fso to warrant me getting a Official Place .

For the other events Like scenario's  I always liked flying with other people and getting to know them .

Walk-ons are welcome in most events but the two you'll be most comfortable in to start with are the Wednesday Night Snapshots (or Thursday in Europe) or Close Escort on Sunday afternoons (starts up again a week after Memorial Day.) Also, there's the Air racing league on Tuesday Night.

Check the Calendar button at the top of this page.

If you want to fly in scenarios, all you have to do is register to guarantee a spot.  There is, in fact, one coming right up in June.  If you don't know your schedule in June and can't commit to showing up, you can show up as a walkon before the start time for the event.  If there's room (and there usually is), you'll get to play.

Here is more info:
