Id be able to do 4 hours on a sat and 4 hours on a sunday but to be honest it sounds a bit too much in 1 weekend.BUT I absolutely prefer historical to MA

I'd be able to do four one day or another. Plenty of advance notice is key.

I would be able to do 2 to 4 hours on one day OR the other. Not two days in a row.

S!

There were 3 Fighter Groups of P-51B's flying in February '44 as far as I know.

No P-51D's at that point.

The 109G10 wasn't available then either, but there were quite a few G6's with the DB605 AM or ASM engines, (methanol injection) which has somewhat similar performance, (around 428mph at best alt, instead of 452mph with this G10) so it would probably be a good idea to allow the German side a few of those. The majority of the 109's would be G6's. The G2 was long gone from the inventory of the German Staffel.

There were also quite a few P-38J's flying. The AH P-38L is quite a bit better aircraft so including it would be optional. Perhaps a few for flavour.

The 190A5's and A6's had mostly been replaced by heavy A7's and A8's by February, although some of the earlier aircraft might still be operational with the Luftwaffe Tactical Fighter units based in France and in southern Belgium. These units were still contesting the Spitfires and Typhoons sweeps over France and the medium bomber groups attacking the V1 sites in the Pas de Calais.

The majority of the B17's would be B17F's, but some G models were in use and more were coming on stream.

were there P47D11s during that time it would seem so if there were P51B and P38s.

S!

The Razorback P-47's made up the largest number of USAAF Fighters in the 8th AAF at this time. By February they were equipped with Paddle blade props, something which the AH Razorback doesn't have.

One weekend every couple months is do-able. There will always be chances that something else is occuring on that day, but for the most part, I could reserve that time for Aces High.

I could do this; when I flew in many of the AW scenarios going back to 1999. Most of those were only 2 hours to three hours long. Four hours I still think is doable but more than that and I think you would suffer a lot of burn out and fatique.

But I am definitely interested and I know that others in my squad would be. Plus, other AW scenario junkies that now fly over here.

Yes and Yes.

I would be available most likly for both days.

I am a bit uneducated about the P47 what did the Paddle-blade do for it? And what was the model numbers so i can learn more about this wanderful plane.

P.S. I am 30-4 in the P47D11. I have fallen in love for its "dive" charecteristics and turning ability. Oh and its ammo load I can sprey and prey all day. hehe.

Yes, I could do the time frames, I'm not sure I'd want to do it though. That's a big chunk of the weekend.
