« on: February 23, 2011, 04:13:59 PM »
Tuesday March 8th, 2010 10:00pm Eastern in SEA I - Aces High eXtreme Air Racing League - Season 22 Race 06. Scheduled host is Spammer.
We won't know which plane we will be flying until after Race 04, but it is sure to be a great race. The competition has really gotten intense this season.
On this day in 1944 - USAAF heavy bombers raid Berlin for a second time. About 10 percent of the force of 580 bombers is lost despite the escort of 800 fighters

Wednesday March 9th, 2010 10:00pm Eastern in SEA II Snapshot - "Picciatelli over Malta" Hosted by 68Hawk.
Italian forces launch a strike on British port facilities on the tiny island of Malta with JU87s and their new C202 fighters.  British forces on the island are heavily outnumbered, fatigued and ill supplied, but still possess some airworthy Hurricane MkIIc.  Malta is a thorn in the side of German plans for the theater, and a key to reestablishing British dominance in the Mediterranean.  Will they be able to hold out against the onslaught of the Regia Aeronautica?
Snapshots are walk on events and all are welcome. Forums are located Here
