Re: Feldwebel Woody arrives at Kalach

This scene belies the fact that on his first attempt he managed the flight through the hangers without the aid of VR Got track huh HUH? If that assertion is in fact true despite the lack any evidence to support it, why did he not do it perfectly the second time too? Plus, what was he doing reckless...

Re: Feldwebel Woody arrives at Kalach

Sooooo you forgot to lower your undercarriage? Noted, as is the wilful destruction of Soviet property followed by an inexcusable attempt to deflect blame from yourself. Bunny will be watching you very carefully indeed! https://kryptosinfo.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/wwii_posters_safety_security_hes_...

Re: Feldwebel Woody arrives at Kalach

Woody completed AF2 tonight with the unusual distinction of gaining an Iron Cross Second Class whilst flying a LaGG.

What happens in OTU stays in OTU..... pffftt!

Re: Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

Feldwebel Gosho successfully concluded AF3 tonight despite having had a few drinks. Mind you, obviously he is not a big drinker as he was missing his usual razor sharp edge. We'll start him on 100 octane for ops.

Re: Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

Yep we have a summer furlough that will start on the 23rd or 30th July (whatever fits in with the missions/campaign) and then back on ops in early September. We'll still be about during August though.

When do you go? It'd be great to get OTU done so you can join in when you're back.

Re: Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

Gosho passed AF2 tonight, after various connections problems and all that jazz. But says I (wiggling my eyebrows) will he pass AF3 and spotting all of those lovely ground objects...

Time will tell ooooeoooeoeeeeooooooooo.....

Feldwebel Woody arrives at Kalach

Oh how I giggled when he put his gear up before starting to take off. Anyway, apart from that little hiccup (and missing the He111s naturally, and the FWs in the circuit when landing and so on) he did ok. Then he joined in with us on a normal night and had fun, and he even got a Pe2! So, welcome him...

Re: Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

The flak has never been active before. It shouldn't be active for any of the missions.

Very odd

Re: Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

Do you mean he didn't spot any enemies? Mhhmmmmmm

Maybe re-fly it on Friday as a bit of fun.

Feldwebel Gosho arrives at Kalach

Gentlemen, Feldwebel Gosho arrived today and successfully completed his first assessment flight. Not only that but he shot at stuff (not me I hasten to add) in general flying and he landed successfully, bending his prop at the same time (in general flying, not in the first assessment flight - that l...

Starshina Squirt leaves Kalach

According to Silk, Squirt did enough to pass AF4 today. Huzzah! Squirt you are now operational as from right now. This means you'll probably die with the rest of us on Sunday. Check the Ops Room and especially the Russian campaign room. From the roster you'll see you are in second squadron with numb...

Re: Feldwebel Halon arrives at Kalach

And today (as I'd forgotten to take him through OTU in previous weeks) Squirt completed AF3, again landing a LaGG without spinning.

Re: Feldwebel Halon arrives at Kalach

No Jacko. That was another squadron member who shall remain nameless. It was Swallow. And he deserved it after his cries of anguish at seeing me not spin, which was preceded by shooting at me during a 110 co-op (that's CO-OP i.e. we were on the same side...) despite both engines being dead and both...
