We have room for everyone, still. We need bomber pilots for the Luftwaffe, escorts in the form of Emil pilots as well as defenders of England in Hurricanes and Spitfires. Sign up today.  :airplane:

Why are these events being scheduled on holiday weekends?

Drat -- we totally missed that.

These bigger events are like oil tankers.  It can be nearly impossible to change direction once it's going.

I'll discuss with some folks and see what they think.

Ok, convinced me to sign up for JG26. Can't resist flying a 109-E. This will be my first event but sounds fun. Preference is any 109 sqd in case things get mixed around.

The date is still August 31st.

We know some folks might be travelling that weekend, but moving things can cause bigger problems.

I'm looking forward to shooting all you Spits and Hurris from the dorsal gun of my He 111 in about 2.5 weeks!  :aok

Be the first kid on your block to get a verified kill in one of the greatest aerial battles of all time.  :aok
