If any are willing to attend or want to help organize, please respond.

Post by: RichardDarkwood on October 13, 2022, 04:57:50 PM: When we did Dr7's memorial there was over 45 tanks on the runway and 60+ aircraft doing the missing man formation.

I say Typhoons and bombers performing a missing man formation with Typhoons and bombers lined up along the runway.

Post by: toddbobe on October 14, 2022, 12:45:06 AM: I was just talking with another player on this subject, we kicked around some ideas.
I want to make sure there are respectful numbers, think the Ava or the main arena would be better?
I am beyond happy there is an interest in a memorial flight, I worried there arent enough old timers left out there to make it respectful. She was my squadie and she is missed, this is hitting me harder than I expected.

I know Betty was very pleased when Greebo did a RAF 193 Squadron skin and its nose art was named “Betty”. It would be an excellent choice if all Typhoons used that skin for the flight.

Not the main arena. You get some players who don't know it is a memorial flight, or who just want to be jerks, and they disrupt the flight. It's happened before.

The Ava arena would be better. It's away from the Main, you don't have side switch issues, and you can evict the jerks.

Please give people at least a couple of days notice. I missed the DR7 memorial because I didn't see the announcement in time. I don't remember Betty, but I might attend to support those who did know her.

Why so late? It's a Sunday so most times during the day would be good for the majority of people. I'm in the UK and it will be 3:00 am!

You think that is bad - try 5 hours AHEAD of EST.

I really hope it goes well, but really disappointed I won't be able to make it.

Oh, LOL, this is a separate thread.
