762 Kokutai needs more brave pilots to join us in the Ki-67 for the next scenario, Philippine Phandango.  There will be torpedo bombing and level bombing of enemy shipping and enemy bases.  Torpedo bombing in scenarios is great fun.  Some pics of the sort of action involved is here:

More details on the scenario are here (including links to registration):

Guys -- I need only one brave person to step up to fly with me in Ki-67's in the scenario to fill the squadron.

It will be a blast, and the Ki-67 is an excellent bomber.  There will be both bombing and torpedo runs.

How about it?  Can just one person step forward to fly with me?

I'd love to do this, Brooke, but I just don't think I can commit to getting up at 3:30 AM Sunday mornings my time for every frame. If these were about 9 PM on Saturdays, I think you'd get many more people from Japan, Australia and other Asian countries flying. But, that would effectively eliminate people from Europe. You can't win either way.

True.  We will be playing around with times, probably for the next scenario, to see what it does to registration numbers.  You are right -- no way to pick one time that works well for all, unfortunately.

How about it, guys?  All I need is one Ki-67 pilot -- one pilot out of the many hundreds that play Aces High -- to join 762 Kokutai.

Will one person join us?
