I might be able to do that then. But I have a question still... How do you sign up?

Post here on this forum. Title it access to Forum. In the post ask for the forum Allied or Axis that you wish to fly for. Maybe they will sticky something here if needed.

Ahhh see, now THIS is the thread that needed to be stickied to the top of the forums.
Do they not use stickies here, or do we need to just keep /bumping this thread to the top twice a day?
