Lets get together for some practice sometime.  I know that Swoop and Sunchaser and I are old squaddies with quite a bit of time flying formation in these things, but would like everyone to practice a little so that we can have a good showing in the Big Week scenario.  Post here when you are available.  Also keep an eye out for one another online.  Practicing with one or two others is just as good as all of us getting together.   :)

One other thing....I was gonna nominate Sunchaser to lead this element, but he feels that he has been away too long.  Would any of you like to take command and be our CO?  If not, Sun has promised to help out and be my XO if I take the lead.  

Let me know what you guys think.

Hi Sling

I was XO (then CO) of 617 Sqn in Hostile Shores, even won myself a free account for my troubles!  I'll gladly be XO if there are no other volunteers.

Regards

Nexx

Shout if you want to practise together with some little friends, or if you want some attackers for practise.

Well, whoever runs the show, we have a first class lineup and Svalan, sorry you did not make it in time.

I will help in any way possible but I left Hostile Shores after 1 frame so there are more experienced people to lead than I.

Question, will we be assigned historical escort groups and if so, who are they?

ICQ is 48730960

I guess the first question would be....are B-17s enabled in the Combat Theater?  If they are, we can go in there sometime for formation practice.  Hell we might even round up some attackers if they see that we are in there.   :D

I would just like to say I hope the 56th gets the honor escorting your group. As a former mad bomber I am happy to see the crew back.  I have found a new home with the 56th

Ok...how about tomorrow night (wednesday the 14th) in the Combat Theatre right after Wild Wednesday.  That would be midnight Eastern and 11 Central US time.  If ya cant make it, dont worry about it....I am sure we can hold a lot of practice session at other times.

I can make it.  I would like to have some practice on keeping close formation while using auto climb.
