4 Squad Results Sunday. 03/22/09

Yes, The kind of problem that every C/O that flys a match wishes they had. How to decide who flies and who has to sit out and watch because so many pilot showed up to the match. Not only that there were a couple who had problems getting into the room.

Today, I took most of the day off because we had so many pilots show up. It was something to see too. We had no less that 13 pilots at the beginning of the game show up to fly today. There where 2 more wanting to get in, but couldn't because of technical difficulties.

Our line up looked like this. Adam, Skyfire, Whiplash, Zarn, Burton, Tango, Tbar, Talon, Ripp, Picken, Air Boss, and JoKeR

Our Newest pilot and RiPP youngest son KiLLER was trying to get in, but couldn't because when he logged in it logged RiPP out. I think Rew was trying to get in at one time and one other is I remember correctly. If you count them all, that 15 pilots and a squad best for our match today. OUTSTANDING!!!

We took one heck of a beating in first round at the hands of the Warships. Something to remember when we fly against them next. We are getting better slowly and we are showing a little more organization, but we still need lots of work. So lets keep getting to the practices and start working on some good flying tactics.

RiPP was showing me a few things earlier today before the match. It was something that I was a little different from what Bestia was showing us a few weeks ago. Last night after the SNL Match I had the chance to fly with Rb_Seeto on the US base. Every time I came up on his 5"o Clock he would type to me 6 @ 8 o Clock. So that's where I moved too. I went to Seeto's 8' O clock position about 1500 to 2000 away. When he dived in I was in a much better position to cover him. So when talking with RiPP he agreed. So does this mean that what Bestia showed us was wrong. The answer is NO. What it is is just another formation that may be useful to us in the future. We need to rely on the experience that RiPP and Bestia bring to the squad.

Now on a side note. Bestia has told Tango that he is leaving the squad. Something happened last night at the SNL match that got him upset and I'm not exactly sure yet of what it is. He has removed himself from the squad CLP roster. I sent him an e-mail and he does have very strong intentions of cutting his ties with us. This is a very good pilot people and we need him and others like him Ripp andAir Boss to help us increase our skills.

So is you see him flying please ask him to come back. I have done so in a second e-mail to him.

So lets get back to having good turn outs for our matches. Today was a huge improvement over the last 2 weeks, lets keep up the good work ethic!

See you in the Skies.
