We did Big Week once before didnt we?

It was probably the most successful scenario ever if I remember right. You just cant beat those high altitude realistic fights.

Great to have you in it, Dace!

My only wish is that we were flying on the same side, as I'm Luftwaffe in this one.

Sort of -- Big Week was the first frame of Battle Over Germany, which then progressed to representing other time frames and aircraft.  Battle Over Germany ran in 2011 and had 300 players.

Bomber folks have been very enthusiastic about this one.  There is only one registration spot left for the bombers.

There are plenty of 109's, 190's, P-47's, and P-38's available still.

Heck, my first scenario in AH was the "Ruhr Event" way back in late '03 or early '04. 'Bout this same plane set, you and I flew in a group together under JB42 flying FW-190A5s. Got a couple D11s during the event and had much fun. I was hooked on scenarios and flew in probably the next ten after that. Wish I had more time for them these days. Good times.  :rock

By the way, it looks like Jordi is going to be in B-17's in this one.

If you've been here a looooong time, that is a name you might remember from way back.  :aok

Will the buff set go at full speed or at realistic speed at 30k ?
No Bf110, Bf410 ?
My ammo last for 6 Lancasters, or one Yak3.
