Sunday 17th October

Sign up for a cr@p plane festival.

After last Sundays high speed jet thrills I felt the need for less speed - so Winter War 1939 is on offer?

USSR v Finland - B239's and DXXI's for the plucky Finns and I16's for the Russkis - 9 a side.

A dogfight warmup and one coop written so far. Should have another couple of coops done by the weekend.

No blackouts this time boys - you will not be going fast enough :lol:

The Fokker is a pain in the a**e to fly ... I´d take any plane ... even this one! :?

Having done a bit more research it seems the B239 was not available to the FAF until March 1940 - towards the end of the Winter War.

In the interests of historical accuracy it will have to be Fokkers only, or a mix with Gladiators.

Sorry Brewster lovers........... :D
