Title: * 78th FG Eagles of Duxford *
Post by: Ciaphas on June 01, 2008, 04:20:54 PM: If you are over the age of 18 and have a subscription and are looking to join a squad that is just starting out, Then this is the place for you. So far our squad consists of 4 members:

Myself, 6033gda, mandango and Cafedo.

We are all relatively new to this game but not new to WWII aviation. We are a historically based squad, we fly the P-51D, all models of the P-47 and the P-38G during squad nights. All other nights we fly what ever we are in the mood to fly. Our squad nights are Friday at 8:00 pm GMT for the time being and if we can fit it in we have an airframe night on Saturday's at 8:00 pm GMT. We fly with the Bishops and use VOX: 165.

Squad nights are a requirement for new recruits for the first month, after the first month you become a full member of the squad. We have set it up this way to weed out the people that have no intension of becoming a productive member of the squad. The Saturday night airframe night is not mandatory but it is recommended. On these nights we will work with a specific airframe or airframe series in an attempt to master certain characteristics before utilizing it in battle or practicing with the airframe used in the last squad night to help iron out the kinks and the problems we faced the night before.

We do have a homepage, it's located at 78th Eagles of Duxford. (http://eaglesofduxford.net) on our homepage you will find everything that you need in the way of information about the squad. We have a photo gallery, upload/download section with access to our raw .ahf videos, forums, news and a calendar for basic squad events. You do have to register to post in the forums and the shout box.

We are not looking for the cream of the crop pilots, we are looking for those who are fairly new and are wanting to join a squad and help build it's reputation based on sound team tactics, respect and camaraderie. If this sounds like something you would like to be a member of, please visit our homepage and register and post in the forums area under the "wanting to join" thread.

If there are any squads in here that would like to team up for a few missions or a bomber group that would like an escort please stop by and register and then post in the "visiting squads" category.

Salute!
