The proven crew of the 462nd
<S> Pilots! The 462nd is recruiting for experienced bombers and seasoned escort pilots. This is a new squad that plays in the LWA. The 462nd mainly flies B-17's and B29's and our missions consist of precise flight paths and organized attacks. "Graveyard Shift" players are needed. See me, chipr, or submit a reply if you are interested.

chipr, here, CO of the 462nd. I decided that adding a few protocols wouldnt hurt on recruiting the right pilots.

Age requirement: 21 and up
Subscribers only, no free trial pilots
Friendly and "laid-back"
Must love to fly heavy bombers, all the time  :)
Also pilots who fly atleast 4 nights a week.

Further protocols will come and are subject to change.

Attention squadies and potential squadies,

Our new squad, the 462nd BG "Hellbirds", needs a few more members and also need a squad mate with html talents to create a simple and nice looking webpage. If you are interested, I would be happy to add to the ideas you may have for the website.

GrnEagle,

Im a little weary of adding teenagers to the squad because i already had a conflict with one not too long ago when i first created my squad. On the other hand, he was the best pilot we had at the time, but i just didnt feel comfortable flying with him. So for now, I will hold off on your proposal but I will keep it in mind. Thanks again

 :salute Captains,

The 462nd is recruiting to expand our small squadron. We are a Bishop only squadron that flies in the Late War Arena. Here is what we are looking for in upcoming recruits:

Laid back adults that dont "squeek" to much.
Pilots who also like to fly fighters, hopefully american planes
Willing to learn how to stay in formation and land properly while flying heavy bombers
Bomber Pilots who like to fly at high altitudes
Pilots who value their lives and wish to land every sortie possible

If you are interested, you can email me dannyyak@yahoo.com or see chipr in the LWA. We are on VOX 253 if you wish to tag along with us before you decide to join or not. Here is a link to see our recent squad rankings, http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/scores/sqdscore.php (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/scores/sqdscore.php). Just type in "chipr" in the CO box and select recent Late War Tour stats.

 :salute
chipr, CO 462nd
