Title: 604 SQN RAAF "Silver Eagles" - Now being formed and we want you
Post by: Plawranc on February 06, 2010, 04:17:50 AM
Hey all B6Pacman here.

I have had almost a year in the Claim Jumpers and hope to launch Co-Squad operations with them regularly.

But I am now announcing the formation of 604 SQN RAAF. We are looking for pilots of all nations and ages who want to fly in an organized and efficient manner.

I have had tonnes of fun flying as a lone hunter or a hoarde monkey, but after rolling with the 82nd for a week I decided that while the P-38 is nice I wanted something else something organized.

So this squadron will operate real RAF and Commonwealth airforce combat tactics, such as VIC echelon and fighter breaks and so on.

Our Squad aircraft is Spits of all types the key factor is they fly in Silver. But we will also fly all kinds of aircraft that the squadron wishes to fly.

When we have enough recruits things like Sections and section leaders will be assigned and so forth.

Hope to see some squaddies up soon.

VOX is Channel 259 and hope to see tonnes of applications.

 :salute BH6Pacman

Those are 601 Squadron Spits however :)

604 was an RAF Auxiliary Squadron that flew Beaufighters and Mossies in WW2.

All kinds of good historical Aussie Squadrons out there though.  Kev did a nice RAAF Spitfire VIII that's silver as well.

Social members are accepted for sure.

604 was not chosen for its significance in WW2.

604 SQN is the designation for my Australian Air Force Cadet unit. and silver spits are the squadron plane.  :aok

Good luck with the squad, keeping a unit organized in a military fashion isn't easy. If you want some help or advice, ask us or look up JG11, they might be able to help. Check out our website, it has some nice readings on wing man tactics and formations >S<

Kermit, sister squads, etc. You should know this stuff. ;)

I am very well informed on formations, wingman tactics, etc. Didn't take a break from AHII for nothing. ;)

not an actual member in the squad, sort of like a hang around in an outlaw motorcycle club, I'll never leave the Prawns but would like to fly with pacmans squad occaisionally.

So you come over and eat all the food, but never have to stay and clean up....awesome! 

Ok, I really wasn't sure, as I thought it meant to be "talkative".

Pacman, I have made the website using Dreamweaver 8, I will post the pictures on here soon.

Also, I will get us a forum up so we can start planning our Squad Nights/Practices, and what not.
Cya in the sky mate.

We had a good set of ops over the weekend.

Apart from a little incident with the Claim Jumpers we were really on the ball.

Our formations are getting tighter and our shooting and 6 calls more efficient but we have still not got enough people to effectively take bases. We need more pilots who are interested in military formation flying and wingman tactics.

And of course I have a rule that any spitdweeb looking for a home will find it here.

Squad tally so far.

What kind of formations and wingman tactics do you use regularly? Just wondering  :)
Title: Re: 604 SQN RAAF "Silver Eagles" - Now being formed and we want you
Post by: Plawranc on February 14, 2010, 10:02:39 PM
We use

Vic
Echelons
Line astern

They are the main ones we use, the rest are custom formations which I developed which are similar to combat spreads in infantry tactics.

Like wide, close etc etc

Welcome US Badnut  :salute

Well guys I am proud of this new gang of formation pro's.

I hope to see all Eagles on the weekend.

Oh and I have picked a squadron motto. It is a mock latin word "Typical Aussie humor" made up by the guys in MI5 during WW2.

"Noli nothi permittere te terere"
- Translates loosely in real latin as = DONT LET THE BASTAGES GRIND YOU DOWN!
