There is a trial period where you fly with us for a period of time while you get a sense of us, and vice-versa. There's no real set length, as it depends on the individual. If you're definitely interested if you provide me with your e-mail address I can include you on the squad's mailing list (standard procedure, so you can keep in touch with us outside the game both so you can track what the squad will be doing when and where, and any questions you may have).
<S> and hope to see you up there.
I see three problems here...
Allow me to explain. No, explaining would take too long. Allow me to summarize:
Rook. 'Nuff said'
M. Marine. That means half your birds don't come with tail hooks installed, and real corsair pilots fly from corks. Ok, granted, the Navy Department did not anticipate the sudden need for fighter pilots late in the war and started letting marines on deck for want of semi-trained simian pilots, but we have been trying to wash the smell out of our carriers ever since. Also, any Marine with a rank of O-3 is going to have to get used to being called Major, because there is only one Captain aboard ship.
A. Real men fly the -1, only sissies fly the -1A.
I just posted to the VF-17 thread, too. If you have an unlimited supply of F4U-1s I'd like to fly along and see the sights. Us hog herders have to stick together...so if you have no objections hopefully I'll see some of your guys this weekend and I can tag along on a few flights. Even more hopefully we might be able to teach each other some tricks.
A disguise may be in order so nobody sees me flying as a Rook, though.
