VF-17's 2011 recruiting thread
« on: October 23, 2011, 10:22:06 PM »
Due to old site issues and the confusion this may caused to some looking for our site, or trying to sign up, we started this new thread.

http://vf-17.webuda.com is the current correct site.



The VF-17 Jolly Rogers are recruiting pilots interested in US Naval Aviation.
New pilots and vets equally welcomed.
We do ask you be 18 years of age and have an account with HTC.
You are also required to have a sense of humor when joining

Squad Nights

Corsair training : Monday, 10:00pm Est

FSO Training :Thursday, 10:00 pm Est

FSO: Friday, 11:00 pm Est

Our primary focus aircraft is the F4U and it's variants, primarily the 1a. But we are happy to fly any US navy Iron. We train a lot in this squad, so if you are looking to up your game, love blue planes, and like to work as a team, we might be right for you.

We are also an active FSO squad, so being able to participate in FSO on a regular basis is required. We know things come up in real life, so we don't expect everyone to make every frame, but expect you to make it when you can.

New recruits, will probably be spending a lot of time with me to determine weaknesses in merge tactics and plane handling. We hold our F4U flying to high standards, and I'll do my best to bring you up to speed quickly.

VF-17's CO is Branch37

How many hogs can this Pigpen hold? looks like all the F4U pilots are gathered here.

I can't, I violate almost every rule you have. 1) I don't have an active account 2) Can't promise to be available for FSO. I'd like too, I sure miss the hog, but life is in the way. Doc, says I'm very sick so I gotta get health fixed, Diabetes, according to him. Maybe one day I'll come back, I don't know.

Just wanted to say hello and I miss getting to fly the hog.


Best wishes.
