We will be running a Black Thursday event next Saturday, August 20th, at 3 pm Eastern in Special Events II arena.

It is an unlimited-life event, where all are welcome.  B-17's and P-47's vs. 109's and 190's in high-alt action (we will be using air spawns).  Please join us and bring your friends.

Are we going to get some enthusiasm going for this one?

I hear that there are some folks in this game who fly P-47's, B-17's, Bf 109's, and FW 190's, but I'll be out there in a 109 or 190, ready to shoot down all of the US bombers myself if I have to.   ;)
