Re: Welcome Guests.

Thinking of signing up after Christmas (away from home a lot until early Jan) and wanted to get a better idea of what is required for OTU. Do you guys actually do training (spring chicken to shitehawk and all that) or is it more a test to see if your flying is good enough? Partly. A bigger part is ...

Re: Feldwebel Mantock leaves Kalach

Congratulations. Keep an eye on the assignments to see who you’ll be with, and make sure you have the skins because otherwise Bunny will be after you.

Re: Welcome Guests.

Hi T-Rex

see here - http://www.tangmerepilots.co.uk/recruitment.htm

To take part in official ops you have to get past OTU. During OTU you are more than welcome on a Tuesday or Friday evening from 20:30 GMT or so onwards.

You may well have seen just our server if you had mods enabled.

Re: Am I missing new pilots ?

Just a follow up on this. We tend not to make a big hoo-hah about new chaps because whilst we absolutely make them welcome them on comms, if they don't bother continuing, or are not quite up to scratch, or simply won't fit, we'd rather they had they impact of someone who was simply moved on from the...

Re: Am I missing new pilots ?

Historically it was after AF1 but we had quite a few dropouts so I think we delay it slightly. Merlin will correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Re: Welcome Guests.

I suppose I’ll keep bopping around in my hurricane for now then We're swapping sides to enjoy all facets of the game. That means it is very likely that in the future we will be Soviet, LW, RAF and possibly USAAF. If folks don't want to explore everything that is absolutely fine, but they probably w...
