Oh, good God - I've only just noticed this thread!

Thanks for the offer Ardmore. I think beginner's luck carried me through Sunday's session without incident.

In future, I'll make sure to check this particular forum more often.

Should we expect anything less from the mate who brought this in last Sunday? It seems my publicist is doing a wonderful job. :D In truth, I brought home a pristine aircraft. Having landed it delicately on the deck, I retracted the flaps, folded the wings, taxied forward, slotted the chocks... ...j...

Arriving back in the vicinity of the airfield, I headed several kilometers to the west, giving myself a good long approach to the runway and plenty of opportunity to change my plan if things looked bad. Between about 4km and 2km, everything was looking good. My approach speed was high (around 290kph...

My VVS friends chased away the second FW-190 and I was once more alone above the road. As I followed it, I found two more convoys. One consisted primarily of motorcycles and I couldn't help but smile as I took out all of them in a single raking pass from their 5 o' clock. The second convoy appeared ...

Anyway, on the third mission I was tasked to fly a recon mission along a road somewhere in Czechoslovakia. Deep into enemy territory, I found a...

You never know - if I manage to stay in touch with Gadje next time, you might actually have some additional (but fairly inept) fighter support.

Hi guys, I just wanted to drop by to say 'Thanks' for Sunday's session. The night mission scared the pants off me. Despite owning Il-2 in all its incarnations since the day of release, I can't have flown more than two night missions over the last five years. Trying to stay in touch with the formatio...

Pizz, Great to see you on-line today. Sorry you only got a wee bit of a co-op and two bits of DF'n, but it was a pleasure to meet you. The next scheduled thing I know is Tac's Historic Encounters on Friday. Check HL during the week for any of us flying and stay in touch with us here in the forums. ...

Welcome mate! Actually I just invited you to our Historic Encounters over at SimHQ mate. Click on my banner for more information. A bit early for you (6:00 p.m. start time), especially if you have kids, but hoping you give it some consideration. There are other offerings of course to consider, such...

hi there m8, thanks for the introduction. just fill out an application under Squadron on the main page. Hi Deathsledge, Already done! In fact, it was FI:Falcon from the Recruitment Office that pointed me over here after he'd received my application. Ack! Socialising on my first day! Whatever next.....

Hi guys, I've just applied to join the Fighting Irish and thought I'd pop in and say 'Hello'. OK... so, a little bit about myself. I'm a 34 year old Brit currently residing in Vancouver, Canada. I design video games for a living and have done for the past nine years. My main gaming passion is flight...
