Was talking with my squaddies in JG3 yesterday and we are wanting to do some kind of memorial flight tonight in tribute to the victims of 9/11. I know it sounds corny to some but the response was very positive and I am posting this to see what kind of feedback we would get. If its mostly negative then JG3 will do something on our own. I just wanted to let eveyone in the CT have a shot at this. Well, what do you think?
-
What time?
-
10:30 EST.
A formation flight at 5k from West to East on the map. Allies and Axis together. Then a split to North for Allies aand South for Axis with one a/c climbing straight up in rememberence of those that passed in the 9/11 attack. Followed by a moment of silence.
I will open a base for Axis base near an Allied one in the West and we can join up and proceed.

Sounds like a good plan Jester. Looking forward to seeing this act of unity in the CT.
-
Diablo, Jester.. you guys can count the 325th in...
-
VV Stream, look forward to seeing you there

When I did the climb out "Nearer My God To Thee" kept playing through my mind. It was a moment that left me shaking. Wish I could put it into words...
-
If anyone taped it by chance... I am going to put together something as in a video for it.. so you can email them to me at

Hopefully I can do this as tasteful as I can...

TO ALL THAT PARTICIPATED TONIGHT!
I would like that we all take a minute to remember those that were lost two years ago today in the 9/11 attacks. Those of the Fire and Police Depatments that were killed coming to the aid of their fellow man and those innocent civilians that were caught in this tragedy. But most of all the familys of the victims that are still coming to grips with their losses. For them we remember and keep them in our prayers.
SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 - "WE WILL NOT FORGET!"
I would also like to thank my squaddies DIABLOTX for bringing the idea up and SPLURTS for the details of the flight. Also thanks goes to Stream14 from the 325th FG CHECKERTAILS and Hijacker from VF-27 HELLCATS for helping get it rolling.
GUYS!
Stream, if you do make something up, please post it here for all to see. If any individual has any good pics of the flight please post them here for all to see.
AGAIN, TO YOU ALL!
"LET'S ROLL!"
-
Diablo, if you have any pictures or a film.. please send it to me... I think it is important that I put something with your climb in this...
-
The following pics say it all really..................

The one thing that I forgot to do is record my flight. I was too caught up in the moment really. Seeing all of the Axis and Allied aircraft together was too much for me to concentrate. Then, to my surprise, Jester called me out to climb and I sort of went in to tunnel-vision. Sorry Stream, I should have recorded it but didn't.:(
-
You can use someone else's film to get diablo's perspective... as long as he's within range anyway.
It was a proud moment winging with everyone there. Wish I hadn't forgotten about one teeny detail pertaining to collisions... was tucked in oh so perfectly next to a 109, when a netlag-hiccup occured. Lost a wingtip, had to ditch before the split.
to all who were there.

Stream, you should try and get a hold of NUTTZ. He put together a great video w/RealPlayer when he put this terrain out
To Ozzie's Crazy Train. Maybe he can help ya out ?
Anyways. was a great flight. I wish I had flown areound the group alittle more to get some better film.

Thanks Jospe...
I am going to turn this into a windows movie.. I have something planned already... I was playing around with it last night... lets just say I got goose bumps...
-
Telstar, nice pics bro. I like the one with all of the salutes the best. Those just kept coming and coming...really nice.
-
Well I missed this post and the formation flight. Sorry guys. I came in last night but I dont remember what time. I dont think I wa there very long.
-
Great Work Great Pictures
to all who did it. I think we should do such things much more!
We need more human being in this game!
Remember and Not Forget!
-
Turned out better than I hoped with no major problems. If we do something like that again I will turn down the ack and have us meet over a point on the map instead of a base. Also sorry the short notice - it just all took off rather quickly.
Would like to get a count on how many flew the tribute flight. Was about everyone in the CT at the time - close to 50 I bet.
Would one of you guys that took some film please count the salutes and see how many of there were. Tks.
!
-
Anyone else have pics to post? Would love to see them!
-
I filmed the whole thing, Ive never posted a pic though. Let me see what I can do.
-
gun me a M16(semi-aitomatic rifle),a sniper rifle and frag grenades and i will make next year better by putting Osama Bin ****heads face on a target board for us
-
I miss it guys, I want to be there, but I figure I need to be with my family and friends on Sept. 11 and all I want to say this

So Stream, where is it bro?
-
Diablo,
I would have to say the reason that I haven't gotten it out as of yet is because of all the things that have been going on in the CT as of late. I guess I got fet up with all the bull and politics of the Arena and the inccident with Jester and my squadmates. I have apologized about that publicly a couple of times. I pop in once and a while to make sure that things don't happen like that again but if you look at my score... I have not flown one sortie in there. but this is neither here nor there...
As I know this is important to you, I will finish it up asap. It has gone from a 5 minute vid to a 1 minute and a half. I will post it to our Checkertails website, we have a video neptune site link we use.. Sorry about the delay...
-
Has there been an update to the film viewer? Mine is quirky at best. It locks up all the time and if I rewind something I lose sound.

Stream, given the situation with the 325th and the apparent "baby sitting" you've had to do lately I completely understand. Don't finish it ASAP just because I asked what the status was. Do it right, take your time, its too important to put out like they do with Harry Potter movies.

Slash, mine has always been like that. I cringe whenever I want to replay a part in my films.

Diablo...
Just finished it up... I will let you know when we have it posted to the Checkertails website... I probably seen this thing a million times by now but I still get goose bumps when I watch it...
-
Excellent, just say the word Stream...
-
Diablo and the rest that are interested... I have finished my movie... take a look... I think I did it up right....
