I like the F8.  Will give this a try.  :aok

I'll switch sides and fly an F-8 if it helps.

We'd love to have you on the LW side -- I don't want to poach players from the RAF, though.  I would suggest requesting to switch only if you yourself really would rather fly F-8's than what you are flying on the RAF side.

OK, fighterbomber pilots -- Caldera is on board now.  Join up to fly with a master. :)

F-8's will play a very important role in this scenario.  Come fly where you can be a superstar!  :aok

<S> Brooke.  It seems that you have me confused with someone else.  I'm still on my two week trial.
Although, I did graduate Magna cum Tarde from mud moving school.   :D

Heh, maybe so.  :)

However, I am really happy that you are giving the scenario a try -- we very much welcome new players.

And in that case, you should be able to recruit a few guys to come with you to fly the mighty F-8! :)

I will give it the old community college try.  :)

By the way, the FW 190F-8's are full.

Thank you, fighterbomber pilots, for stepping up!

A big <S> to you -- you will be a key to Luftwaffe victory!

I see -- 91 Sqn Spitfires like to have target practice on the various wrecked buildings left in the wake of passing F-8's.

I signed up 8 times to fly 109G with some squaddies. Still does not show me on roster.

First time it showed the position filled after I signed on.  Later Soulyss said I did not appear on roster. Went back and it still showed an opening.

Seven more times I tried...... there is a problem. :)

I know.  I'm trying my best to get it fixed, and have been trying for a while now.  It is very frustrating, I know.

In the meantime, please check ahevents.org to make sure your forum name and message-board ID is correct.  (Go to "User Menu"->"My AH Events Profile" and make sure that what you list for "HTC's Forum ID", etc., is correct, and if not, update it.)  Almost all forum problems are a result of registrants not putting in correct forum ID's.
