  • Escorting  Small and Large Bomber formations....is part of what we're about...
  • Kickin' some Butt in our "ride of the month" ( we typically fly 25 missions in  this ride) then change the Aircraft for another "ride"
  • Resupplying Bases( Goon Raid) when needed
  • Learning to fly the best we can AND having fun while keeping each other alive.



  Come tag along  & see the fun..!!

Engaged this bunch while they were flying 4 ship of P-47s last week. They displayed great tactics and teamwork getting the most out of their Jugs.
If you like smart tactical flying I'd definitely look for a slot with these guys.  :aok

We enjoyed it Thunder. We are always on the lookout for bomber groups to escort, so give us a holler if we are in game.

F4U-1A Combat Tour Results


Well I really wanted to like the Corsair but it seems to be an awfully delicate bird in AH.
Tour ribbon awarded to pilots flying in 25% or more of the tour.

That was a fun little mission last night. I got 2 kills and dont think we lost a single plane. It's all about teamwork. Great fun!

We are starting a separate campaign with The Top Gun squad on Saturday evening. So this opens up about four spots in the Luftwaffe, on Sunday night for anyone interested in flying in a historically base campagin with no enemy icons and limited friendly icons.
