What? After watching your film I saw nothing about complaining about assigned altitudes, escorts, what type of planes they may face or how fair it would be. Seems like those guys just took their assigned mission, did their best to hit the target and hopefully make it home. What a concept. :rofl

Unless someone else would really enjoy being CO, I will take the job, but there are more details to be worked out and cast in stone. If the write up doesn't change, we will need 14 pilots for two bomber groups. The 91st, and the 100th BG will each need 7, and if the missions are to be separated, we will need two GL's.
From the previous posts, I know Flossy and I will be in, DarkHorse and 1ijac showed interest and maybe CrashOrange. From previous scenarios, Tudza, Joker and Mato were solid, F77 flew as his ability allowed, Swoose and Wingflap did well as walk ons. If we can get those folks back into one of these gorgeous B-17 beauties. plus a couple more, I would be thrilled.
 This is as good a place as any to be for the bomber thread, so if you, or any of your friend want to be hero's, sign in below, and when registration opens, we'll get you signed in there as well.

Check out the rules here, and if interested, volunteer below.  http://electraforge.com/brooke/flightsims/scenarios/201706_BigWeek/rules.html

Snoopy,  I'm interested in a B-17 formation, but waiting for registration and all the arguing to desist.

I'll be in bombers - only question is do I rep the bloody hundredth or give the Germans the "Rigid Digit"?

I'm assuming Flossy will be back in her 91st Fort



But we can accommodate the 100th guys too :)

Sorry I did not list you above, Shotgun. I knew I was missing someone. Pay is the same in both groups, so don't let that be a factor.

HB,

Guppy, seems like you painted a 17 for me some time ago. Any recollection of that?  :D And yes, I am thinking Flossy will be 91st.

Try to keep me away!  I would be very honoured to fly under you again.  :D  I probably won't make it to Frame 4 though as I am away at an Elite: Dangerous convention that weekend.

I'll be on the New England Powwow trail for two of the frames so I guess I'll do the walk-on thing and hope I get a B-17

Alright!

Here's what we have so far.





General Slipknt,

Throw me some pilot names that will be flying with you in the 100th.

HB,

You have two seats left to fill with pilots that can make the four week commitment. All other pilots we will placed on the standby mission list.

If you can get Tudza and Popsman to commit, well then there you have it.

Looking good so far. Let's get some more pilots in here.  Well done everybody.   :cheers:

Also gentlemen, if you would mind advising me on what group skin you be flying.  :aok

A more appropriately marked 100th BG B17G for the time frame.
