hey hey congrats on getting stickied! you guys are now officially licensed. did anyone get a moderator position? that way when kamikaze king comes in here crazy off the cider you can edit his posts for him! lol

Hi all---Gunners and Wolves! As Mighty put it "Gunner Wolves!"

I'm with Nightorado---like all the good news and keep it coming! OOOOoooOOOoooOOOO

HB, we don't yet have a moderator and could use one. Since becoming officially we've had a lot more requests to join WP, which is great news. Perhaps Digger or Viper have an idea on a moderator.

Cheers and Happy Weekend!

Dire

well usally the moderator is the squadron MORAF but if the squad becomes big then you can have more then 1

Well now, i see some changes are happening. Log on, and we're not in our normal spot under the yellow section.. Sorta sigh.. "Guess we've slipped again" I thought .. Then like magic, (and maybe cause I couldn't find us) the yellow section appears to me with our name in it.. Wonderful.. Course i have no idea what the "yellow section" means, but it looks like a positive change .. Then I find GI9k talking about somebody called Jacob "stickering" us.. I'm confused, which is the only normal thing that's happened, all I know Is we're in the yellow section, and that's an improvement from being down in the retard section.. And yes, retard is proll'y not the best choice of words for a chaplain, if that offends anyone who has a "challanged" person in the family, sorry but I hate being politicly correct, and we've got one in ours too

Welome to all the new members of the pack, and congratulations to my brother Squeak, and also Jack Wolf, and Firecracker..

Dire, Squeak, or Viper would all make perfect mods "if" we need one..

Night.. Thanks for the kind words my friend, and I'm guessing the bike you were rear ended on is a motorcycle, not a peddle thing.. Which is still cool unless you wear that woozy little California approved helmet and bike shorts.. But I'm guessing you don't ..

As always prayers for Teresa, Mindy, and James

I been seeing a lot of wolves in the skies lately. Seems like your squad is growing fast. That dire wolf is a good shot.I really hate to shoot any wolves when they are red sometimes I even avoid it when there are other targets. Keep up the good work wolves we will see you in the sky.
mayday

Thank ya Mayday! I hear ya man, hard to shoot folks who we befriend in this game. I've had days where I picked other targets too.

BTW, your banners are some of the funniest I've ever seen. KK, is going to love this latest one...LOL

Cheers!

Dire

Haha Padre, there are no bike shorts in my wardrobe .nobody wants to see that ...I hope..but there is a pic of me and said bike in faces of dogfight.. and Mayday that is some funny stuff right there

Glad I saw you in a game! See you next weekend Mighty..OOOoooOOOOooooo

Wonderful day, and great meeting up with a number of you, and quality time flying. No major hassles .. Met an unbelievably talented young Mexican pilot "General McMillan" .. He's unattached and MORAF quality at a 14 level.. Just amazing..I was just getting ready to sell him on the Squadron when his personality came through.. Let's just say he has some maturing to do.. Remember the name though he's going to be one of the top flight in no time.. Flew with Merylin earlier, he was smok'n some reds.. Then a dogfight game with Blacky, and Viper, that ended right after they came on..

Just a great day.. I have a new appreciation of how hard it is to win a star.. I was starting to get close in two BTH games.. Not in the forties close, but close enough I was thinking about asking who could take screen shots,, then in both games a super effort by the reds overran our defense and we lost before I could score another point.. Lesson learned.. I can do it when I'm focused and "on" but boy is it hard.. As it should be.. What a great game, it's good to have our Canadian troops with us..

Swung by gunners banner shop, asked Desi if she could make me a banner like Dires to go under the chaplain one James made.. Hope everything is fine with all of you guys.. Will see you up there!!

As always prayers for Teresa, Mindy, and James..

hi brothers an sisters love how were growing and look forward to all the good things in the works that are to come lol just wait it gets even better lol oooooooooowwwwwwwhhhhhhhh

I have added some effect in our new banner

Hooooooooooowwwllllllldddyyy!
Checkin in with y'all and hopin your days were filled with butterflies and rainbows. Ok, I'll settle for a good day with some of the usual aches and pains, after experiencing the rattles and rolls(and crashes), while taking on a myriad of Reds in those streamlined and fierce fighting machines in the sky. Aooooooohhhhhhhhhhoooooww!

I sure love seeing you all in the sky, either beside me on a raid, pointing toward the enemy reds with outstretched arms, and audibly howling while tilting your necks and raising your lips to the sky... or coming toward me with knarled teeth filled with bugs from windowless flight, with wind-blown scarves trailing behind you tinted with the colors that you've vowed to defend.

It may just be a game, but the attitude and character I assume while pulling back on the rudder, says differently. Especially after reading this exerpt from none other than Eddie Rickenbacker....enjoy (I had to share this just for the first_hand account)

Edward Rickenbacker, Fighting the Flying Circus (1919)
There was a scout coming towards us from north of Pont-à-Mousson. It was at about our altitude. I knew it was a Hun the moment I saw it, for it had the familiar lines of their new Pfalz. More. over, my confidence in James Norman Hall was such that I knew he couldn't make a mistake. And he was still climbing into the sun, carefully keeping his position between its glare and the oncoming fighting plane I clung as closely to Hall as I could. The Hun was steadily approaching us, unconscious of his danger, for we were full in the sun.

With the first downward dive of Jimmy's machine I was by his side. We had at least a thousand feet advantage over the enemy and we were two to one numerically. He might outdive our machines, for the Pfalz is a famous diver, while our faster climbing Nieuports had a droll little habit of shedding their fabric when plunged too furiously through the air. The Boche hadn't a chance to outfly us. His only salvation would be in a dive towards his own lines.

These thoughts passed through my mind in a flash and I instantly determined upon my tactics. While Hall went in for his attack I would keep my altitude and get a position the other side of the Pfalz, to cut off his retreat.

No sooner had I altered my line of flight than the German pilot saw me leave the sun's rays. Hall was already half-way to him when he stuck up his nose and began furiously climbing to the upper ceiling. I let him pass me and found myself on the other side just as Hall began firing. I doubt if the Boche had seen Hall's Nieuport at all.

Surprised by discovering this new antagonist, Hall, ahead of him, the Pfalz immediately abandoned all idea of a battle and banking around to the right started for home, just as I had expected him to do. In a trice I was on his tail. Down, down we sped with throttles both full open. Hall was coming on somewhere in my rear. The Boche had no heart for evolutions or maneuvers. He was running like a scared rabbit, as I had run from Campbell. I was gaining upon him every instant and had my sights trained dead upon his seat before I fired my first shot.

At 150 yards I pressed my triggers. The tracer bullets cut a streak of living fire into the rear of the Pfalz tail. Raising the nose of my aeroplane slightly the fiery streak lifted itself like the stream of water pouring from a garden hose. Gradually it settled into the pilot's seat. The swerving of the Pfalz course indicated that its rudder no longer was held by a directing hand. At 2000 feet above the enemy's lines I pulled up my headlong dive and watched the enemy machine continuing on its course. Curving slightly to the left the Pfalz circled a little to the south and the next minute crashed onto the ground just at the edge of the woods a mile inside their own lines. I had brought down my first enemy aeroplane and had not been subjected to a single shot!

Thought it was interesting reading. I kinda made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up,lol. How about you?

And.....in the interest of another Legend's advice. Imagine hearing this from an Ace first hand, and imagine the passion in which he explained it. (Sorry, I have too much time on my hands, lol)

Oswald Boelcke, Germany's leading flying ace in 1916, gave instructions on how to attack enemy aircraft.
(1) Always try to secure an advantageous position before attacking. Climb before and during approach in order to surprise the enemy from above, and dive on him swiftly from the rear when the moment to attack is at hand.

(2) Try to place yourself between the sun and the enemy. This puts the glare of the sun in the enemy's eyes and makes it difficult to see you and impossible for him to shoot with any accuracy.

(3) Do not fire the machine guns until the enemy is within range and you have him squarely within your sights.

(4) Attack when the enemy least expects it or when he is preoccupied with other duties such as observation, photography or bombing.

(5) Never turn your back and try to run away from an enemy fighter. If you are surprised by an attack on your tail, turn and face the enemy with your guns.

(6) Keep your eyes on the enemy and do not let him deceive you with tricks. If your opponent appears damaged, follow him down until he crashes to be sure he is not faking.

Pretty cool, eh?

If you like History like I do, then allow me to share this link about the First World War and specifically concerning Air War. Here you will learn about all of the involved Aircraft, Pilots, and the Countries they flew with. I just spent a few hours reading about some very cool people, the lives they led in uniform, and detailed info about their machines.It really gives you a look into the machine you're taking into missions when you take off form the blue base. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Aoooooooooohhhhooooooooooooohhhow

spartacus-educational.com/FWWair.htm

Thank you James.. Great reads !! I've read them before out of the same passion for history you have, but wonderful to re read.. Thank you..

I find myself attracted to these old wood and fabric planes because their low tech.. Check out the size of the elevator on the plane pictured on the site.. No hydrolics on that either, just pull on the wire and "move" air.. LOL .. But what a link too today.. A pilot in the final dsys of WWI was born close to the turn of the century, and would have been 67 when we landed on the moon.. The same age I'll be next May..

Can we have an update on the servers that are being changed over.. Will that be for those who pay the five dollars only, and if so will my membership automatically kick in (I paid the five for life time membership when I first did an upgrade a couple months ago) any info on this would help. as much as I love the site, and I do.. We do have a problem with passing on information..

Created these today if anyone wants them. Just remove the dots in the Parenthesis.

Right on, Mrylin! Thanks for showing our pack in one big picture. Our family of Wolves continues to grow. OOOOOOOOooooOOOOOOOOooOOOOO

Padre! HB has posted in the banner shop thread instructions on how to assign Desi's banner for you. He's good like that!


Myrlin! Your help designing banners for our squads has been respectfully accepted, if you would like help getting to grips with the packages Desi and HB use for the banners, PM either of them and they will be happy to get you up to speed, my friend!


I asked Desi to put the G.I. paw-print on my new gif banner, I think it finishes it off quite nicely!


See you all in the skies soon!

Here's hoping that our WP and G.I family up north is faring well through this major storm. Be safe,and stay off the roads. Reports show that over 4 ft of snow and more has fallen,and more is expected at the rate of 3 to 5 inches of new snow per hour. Our prayers and warm wishes are with you all. Godspeed.
James
