That's an awesome video! Love the lozenge camouflage under the red. Very authentic!

Hi EdwardWilliam, you're all set for the Blue Team. Make sure to check their area for their TeamSpeak.

It's definitely almost time...

Very nice video! As a metal fan from way back, I think they're pretty good. Thumbs up from me.

Me too. It's a brutally beautiful aircraft. I just hope that my computer can handle DCS World 2.

Excellent!

Very cool!

Hi All, During Saturday's Flanders In Flames session (Mission #3B, flown on 1 August 2015), a few pilots took off prior to the official start of the mission. This is a violation of the tournament rules, and is the reason for this email. The Flanders In Flames rules can be found here: http://forum.jg1.org/topic/2216-flanders-in-flames-ruleset/ Please take the time to review them. Basically, no aircraft can take off until the mission officially starts. And a mission doesn't officially start until a green flare is launched from a vehicle placed at all active aerodromes. This happens 15 minutes after the server was launched. A minute before the green flare, you should hear church bells in the distance. This is the warning to be prepared! Additionally, it's important to note that Flanders In Flames is a "dead-is-dead" event. This means that if your pilot is killed, or captured, you're unable to fly again on that night. You'll have to wait till the next mission-night in order to fly again. Everyone, however, has unlimited lives as a gunner. Both of these rules will be strictly enforced. Should anyone have any questions, please let me know. And please help others by passing this information on. Thanks! -Klaiber

Thought this was an interesting article on the A-2 and jacket art: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/articles/wwii-war-paint-how-bomber-jacket-art-emboldened-our-boys/

Some of those photos are extremely intense. Speaking only for myself - It seems easy sometimes to look back at events 70+ years in the past, and marvel at the technology of war.... while at the same time, forgetting about the horrors and atrocities that that technology made possible. I think it's a pitfall that all historically minded people fall into sometimes. As a result, I'm very glad that photo collections like that exist. While they are hard to look at, it reminds us of the human cost of conflict

As long as you have a microphone, you should be all set.
