Welcome, Flaps! Grab a cold one from the cooler  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Looking forward to flyin' and fightin' with you in FSO
 :airplane: :airplane: :airplane:

Wait a minute.  You provide cold beverages?   :O   Sounds like a great squad.  Well, except for that whole "Corsair" thing and all.   :neener:

Too bad... all you had to do was fly one of our gull-winged beauties  :neener:

I actually think caldera would join, but he's avoiding me.  I can't blame him though :D

A thoughtful gesture and I am awfully thirsty, but that stipulation would be a real deal breaker for me.   :D

hello! i wish to join but i seem to be having extreme difficulty contacting anyone. even tried to send a msg via the bulletin board a couple days ago but it didnt appear in my outbox so i'm guessing i goofed it up. could someone perhaps pm me directly an e-mail address? the link on the webpage doesn't work for me and i didn't see them displayed anywhere.

I sent you a link to our web site, and our CO's e-mail addy. Hope it works for you, since I am computer-challenged.

I just sent BigRat a note about being found. Didn't have Branch's email addy or I would have sent it to him.   Hope to be flying again with you guys soon!
