Go to 46th.net JJ and read all about our Fighter and Bomber wings. Or just click on my Signature.

Cheers!
I know all about you. You are a great outfit! I would join your Bomber squadron except for two reasons... I am nearly deaf so earphones are of little use to me.. I read lips. and I refuse to use credit cards on line, so host servers are a problem. There is no provision to send them checks. or money orders that I can find.

Oh yeah, there's a third reason... I'm a bomber pilot not a fighter Jock. I would be cold meat in a fur ball.

But I could send your training officer a great tutoroial on how to bomb in CFS3 . :D (I think it is still around somewhere ... I wrote it for Mudmovers or some-one like that, when CFS3 first came out.) The gist of it is that you gotta ignore vertigo and concentrate solely on your instruments. but I tell you how to practice to polish that technique.

Thanks, Irish!

It ain't a money problem except getting servers to take a check by snailmail. Where do you do your flying on line?

What about my communications problem? (Deafness)

(Incidently, your SOP page isn't working fully, All I could read was at the bottom... something about skoring kills..)

I just sent you a PM with my Email address in reply to your quiery about drawing on my experiences to write a mission.

Let's discuss these matters by email since they are only of interest to me?

That's an outright bold faced lie there Major. I'm interested as hell in your experiences as well.

AC has to have the most interesting life experience I've seen so far.
Everyone is interested in his stories.

I was shocked to find out that ex-Luftwaffe pilot Gunther Rall was the third highest scoring ace(Experten) ever and the highest scoring ace that was still living after WW2.An excellent video of him was in Jane's WW2 fighters
(The PC game).

He had over 275 confirmed kills.

It is funny. That is exactly how I do it. you can tell when a bomber pilot is not watching his guages while in the bombideer seat. he starts dropping altitude quickly. I would be very greatful for a tutorial to post in our training forum.

I sent you a PM that contained some CFS3 Bombing info, I haven't found the one I referred to yet.

I included my Email address in your PM... email me yours. please, for when I do find the tutorial it may be too long for a PM.

AC read, copied, posted and my e-mail sent. I found the messge you sent me great reading and very informative. I thank you for it and anything you may be willing to share in the future. I really hope that some of you missions are included with Wings of Power. As a bomber fanatic from WWII I would really like to be able to refly the missions. Even without the guns and flak it does bring things into a better perspective of how it was back then. I have always had a lot of respect for the pilots and crews from then. Being able to fly the routes using only the nav available at the time and see if I can get over the target would be incredible.
