Hey folks after talkin to a few folks it seems wed the 15th sounds best for this! 9 pm eastern in the DA.
We will use one of the 6K bases ie. 11-12 for the fight, this will give both sides a little alt to work with.
even if you are late please show up if you can, I'm sure we can get you in!
This will be a duel of 3
1st will be 38G vs P47D11 or P47D25
2nd will be P38J or P38L vs P47D40, N, M
3rd will be any 38 vs any JUG
Afterwards informal 1v1s "a kind of free for all" where no-one jumps in your fight are good fun if anyone chooses to stay.
These are good matchups and should play out well. I realize we may have a large difference in #s participating so it may require a few folks to sit out a match or 2. hopefully we have good turn-out and most of us can fly.
Rules are simple:
1. NO 1st merge HO
2. 5K merge, icon vis do what ya want
3. If for what ever reason you extend beyond icon do NOT re-enter fight above 5K, hope this is not an issue!
In the DA the "high angle" front quarter is frowned upon, I realize this is considered a HO by many but it is also a reality in the heat of the fight and is impossible to manage, so IF this happens to you please keep comments to yourself "it happens". Personaly I will not take this shot but I realize it will happen! lets keep it fun and leave egos at the door!
Most of the good 38 drivers are hi quality flyers and good peeps.
Fellow JUGgies don't get frustrated I expect us to get mauled but I'm sure we will have a few suprises of our own :aok
Last! If you are comin to settle a score or have some grudge to settle please STAY AWAY! This is for fun only
:salute
Tune vox to 290

I'm ok with this! My motto is: The 1st to go vert admits defeat! :neener:
At least in my mind :aok

Why walk away? Do what I do, sling a hammock tween silats booms and be swept aaway as a hero :) :x

Sounds like fun JUGler, I'll try to be there. I can fly for which ever side needs numbers. :salute

Kind of hard to have a fight without anyone using the vert...

Well we all know the "vert" I'm talkin about, when all else fails go up against the JUG :aok
I have changed my statement to something that rhymes = "The 1st to vert wears a skirt" :aok :x :cheers:
-
I'm not a P38G flyer by any stretch of the imagination...
Who will be attending?
-
Dang, I'm out but would love to be there. Looking forward to feedback and stats :x
-
I should be able to make this one...........i kinda suck in the "G" though......
-
Gonna pass, unfriendly times for us West Coast folk that will still be at work.

Just an FYI the 56th FG for the upcoming scenario is still looking for Jug pilots :cool:

Had the pleasure of meeting Nomde (and I believe, his father?) at Dayton this year :aok Heckofa nice guy
-
I'm going to try to make it.
If the 38 side is full, I'll fly a jug for a little bit until the numbers are even.
-
I'd suggest leaving it 38 of choice vs Jug of choice. I'd be in the G for all of em, some would take the J, others would bounce between the G J L. I'm sure the Juggies are the same. Might as well make it as fun as possible for all.
-

As CO of the 56th FG, Nomde will recreate the squadron upon his return. I just hope he returns sooner rather than later. Out of respect, I wouldn't create this squadron without his permission and without having the intentions of serving the community as much as he did.

And so it shall be!

Sounds like Jug drivers are making a lot of excuses in advance.
:bolt:

I'll take a 38 up. I'll stink in each model equally. :joystick:

Why would i need his permission to crate 56th FG? He dose not own it, nobody owns it. Nerveless, i was not going to start it, just notice i have not seen 56th FG in a long time.
-
No one is is making excuses. I think all who show up will enjoy the fights.
Good for practice and laughs.

ack-ack

I will be late, if I make it at all. I have a lot of company coming over tonight to see the new baby.

my back hurts.....I think I have scurvy.....damn double vision...I'll be there though.....
-
Dang. I would jump in on this flying a P38J, but we have our school play tonight.
Can't make it.
-
Will try to make it, but may have a dinner date that will keep me out of the cartoon skies tonight.
-
Running late, but should be there shortly
-
<S> to all who showed, Good fun I will do again soon when I can get confirm. on more JUGgies!
38s win 2-1 wtg guys! :salute
weekend will be next time I think!
-
Sorry I missed it JUGler, but when I did log in, there was a lot of people in the DA. I'm glad you all had a good time. Hope to be there for the next one.
-
was a blast!! :rock :rock :salute All! :salute

Fun stuff! I'd say we got smacked down a lot more as the battles progressed. Although I had about 23 kills in the TBM before Twizzty destroyed me. ;)

Don't be teasing me with screenshots of Porky II cactus! Thought it was in for a sec :)
Was good fun.
The classic moment was in the third run. On the deck going full bore, with a D-11 coming at my 38G. we both edge a bit right to try and miss as going low means augering. We guessed wrong! JUGgler's 47 and my 38 bang wings. We both lose wings and roll in! LOL double auger kill! :)
-
Sounds like i missed out a big battle. Suggest that there should be a\another for other in the central and west coast that could not be in it. Next week on Friday, no FSO.
-
Was fun!!! (im the jug second from bottom)

Hehe :) A filmviewer bug apparently. All my films that should show Ladd's bird are showing Porky. I quite like that bug to be honest. :lol

The classic merge from both sides.
Corky missing a wing.

The 38 pilots did get sneaking however when we surprised the Juggies with another twin engine plane. We'd like to think this was the first time the Betty was used in a duel :)

For me to make it, it has to happen on a Saturday or Sunday. Wednesday and Friday nights there is no way I can get home before 9pm PST due to status meetings with our Japan HQ.

No need to post which side was standing last as we all won by having so much fun.
On that one run I'm still wondering who had the TREE code...... :rofl
