The Last of a Dying Breed
« on: October 16, 2002, 12:34:47 PM »
Stop by tonight at 2200 EST in the SEA for some Midwar action over Guadacanal.

It says in the writeup that only 10 percent of the Allied force are to fly Corsairs. If you would like to fly a Hog tonight show up early and let me know. It is hard to monitor what people do in the the SEA, and i would like to keep the fight fair. If some of the CM tools we asked Skuzzy about are implemented, then we wont have to worry about small issues like this. But until then please read the MOTD. Thanks and See ya tonight...

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Just get a list of Hog pilots from the Allied CO (or you assign them) before launch.  Then watch them take off from the CM eye.  Anyone that isn't authorized to take off in a Hog, give them a warning to land/auger and get a Wildcat.  If they refuse to comply, give them the boot.

:)

Or...  just let them fly and ridicule them publicly on the boards like was done for those taking drop tanks on the P-47s that one time.  ;)

Why would anyone want to fly a F4U when they could fly a perfectly good Wildcat??? :)

So does this mean I'm guaranteed a Wildcat whenever I show up or is there a deadline to fly?
