56th Fighter Group Recruiting
« on: December 09, 2004, 11:51:42 AM »
56th Fighter Group consisting of the 61st, 62nd, and 63rd fighter squadrons is seeking individuals willing to participate in semi-historically accurate Squad Operations.

The 56th FG in WWII flew P-47s(all variant) in support of bomber runs, Ground Attack missions and Fighter Sweeps.

Currently the 56thFG has a core of 8 pilots and seeks to increase its number of Fighter Pilots and include a detachment of hvy bomber pilots (4-10). This detachment will have the full support of the Fighter Group.

The 56FG flies for Knights on Thursday Evenings and is participating in Squad Events on Friday Evenings. Several pilots fly throughout the week.

We're an easygoing group of like-minded folks interested in getting the most out of AH. I've recently joined and really enjoy the consistent teamwork!

Yeah, it just wouldn't be fair for the rest of the arena for us to fly anything else...

How you guys fly those beasts and live I will never know. I remember how Ammo, Sancho, Frenchy and the rest would fly and live all the time.  Best of luck in rebuliding your squad. Great aircraft and great group! :)

We're looking to expand our numbers and form a solid core of "Terrorflieger" to fly the jug with us.

Our squad focuses on flying proper formations; effective tactics in wingman pair, flight, and squadron level fighting.  Generally kicking butt and living to tell about it.  For more information, talk to any Squaddie in the MA or visit our website

Oh yes, P47 is a great plane.

Hope to see formations of it!
We are flying spitV as squad plane and uping up to 10 at a time is great fun :)
Though we dont have the impact yet that we would like... its hard work and if you bring it together its a lot of fun and devasting.

Do you have any write ups on your flight tactics, flying with 2 or 3 flights at the same time? How do you do the training?

Hi Schutt

We have a (new) website at the link in my last post.  Unfortunately, the historical section (with P-47 tactics) isn't completed yet.  **Kicks Nomde and Padre in the junk to finish the website**

There is another good write-up with tactics that the 56th used.  It's done by a 56th FG from another online sim, and does a good job of explaining jug tactics.

Thanks for stopping by.

WOW, this recruitment drive has me so worked up,,,,,I just gotta say,,,hey guys can I sign up again........:D I just love it when 8 of us fly formation for our big sweeps. 8 big jugs within 70yds of each other.  And then when we go to combat formation. That 2k spread abreast, and each lead calls out the first victom. 8 jugs dropping on 4 cons, poor unsuspecting blighters. 4 planes fall in peices as we point our noses up to rinse and repeat. Man I can't wait for this thursday night.....................:aok
