The Knights have been running MA missions left and right! This weeks mission will be on Friday 05-22-20 in the main arena. Targets will be announced at 1930 here on the BB. The strat run target alt will be 22,000ft. It is really neat to see we are starting to form a core group of bomber pilots who have been flying weekly together I think we are getting into the groove. We are looking to add a few little friends to the group as escorts - if you are interested you can walk on or hit me up in game or here on the BB last week escorts were crucial in keeping away waves of pesky rook interceptors. We will start the mission briefing at 2000 US EST - if you want to fly with the main body of the formation please try to attend, things run a lot smoother when we all up at the same time. This week we might run a second mission at 2200 US EST depending on how many show up. Relevant information will be posted below.
Notice: If any Fighter Squadrons would like to fly escort for the Bombers (Knights) please PM me on the BB or in game and let me know you want in on the fun. Even if only a single squad is willing to escort - the chances of the bombers making it to the target sky rockets.
--Mission Start Times-- Mission #1 Start Time 2000 EST Mission #2 Start Time 2200 EST

PS:
Mass missions like this are what what make Aces High so unique and keep me paying my monthly tribute to Hitech. If we can keep growing out missions (of any kind) to something of an "dude this looks crazy!" scale we might just rope on a few more people. I personally sit on the fence, but as stated above the potential scale of combat is unrivaled and keeps me on the hook. <S>FBTrev95/Riftval

Trying to out due the Dickweeds I see. One of these days Trev you guys alongside the AKs on a Tuesday should switch and help them out with more bombers and escorts that would make a big video alongside mine.

Trev that was a hoot last night . I travelled an hour to get home from the beach to fly this and it was worth it. I think they were on to us from the start but it sure made for lots of action. One day were going to load enough bombers, all take off at the same time, and not have control issues(poor Kuya) and get there at the same time. Its coming.

Jeez turt thats some dedication! <S> Yeah man, I still have to figure out what was going on last night, my rudder was all wonky and I just couldn't get airspeed going down the runway. It was almost like one of my breaks were on or something. Oh well, at least the Rooks got a good laugh out of the ordeal.
