Sure can if they set at least a 70MPH wind and you turn the cv directly into it and use full flaps

You used to be able to get a 262 up from the old CV's with 25% gas, no wind.

jetweek is for jets only. gv's will be available for those that want a ground fight, or to whack the 262's flying by, but otherwise it will only be the 262 and the ar234.

this week is to simulate the Korean conflict. while Korean era jets are not available, the me262 will do for both sides. The week is supposed to be fun, exciting and very evenly matched. Mostly its just something different. dont read anything into it, just show up and have some fun.  give it a try. bring a friend!

The first aircraft were delivered to the Royal Air Force on July 12, 1944 and one was also sent to the US in exchange for a Bell YP-59A Airacomet for comparative evaluation. The Meteor Mk. I saw action for the first time on July 27, 1944 against the V1 Flying Bomb. The Meteor never saw aerial combat against the Luftwaffe despite flying missions over Germany from January 1945, using the Mk. III variant from bases in Belgium.

in case i didnt mention it, all jets are FREE! no perkies. if you ever wanted to try out or fly the 262, this will be the week for it. and free 163's and b29's too!
Title: Re: JETWEEK is coming to the AVA--Friday june 24, 2011
Post by: captain1ma on May 18, 2011, 07:48:46 AM
I had a thought, let me know what you guys think:

Thursday, June 30, 2011. 9pm. a large allied bomber formation(FREE B29s) was spotted headed for Targets in North Korea

at the same time:

A large formation of Axis Bombers(FREE AR234's) headed to Seoul.

targets need defenders, bomber groups need escorts.

maybe a bit far fetched, but it could be fun.

yes the 163's will be available-- For Free!
