Well done to whoever set it up

And I hoped the whole Staffel had squeezed themselves into the Kübelwagen and went on this road trip to Turkey...
Damn it, gave already my gunner permission to serve the crew some alcoholic refreshments in the Blennie on Saturday.

I will be there if I can, Windmill project is delayed caused by weather and bad traction up the mountain roads. If it stay like that (finger crossed) I can attend and join the team with less people
Nice to see something happening

Oh oh oh, I just noticed that I might be available for this one :D
I presume we will have a substantial TS presence too? :3
This is awesome DRock!...This is just what the community needs! I hope this will be a monthly occurrence. If only I didn't have a college graduation/birthday dinner to go to for one of our daughters at that time. There's no way of getting out of that one without being banished to the couch. :( I will definitely make the next one if I know advance. :thumbsup:

Damn, I was hoping you could make this one, Bud. Next time for sure.
Congrats to your daughter for graduating college. A proud moment.

Looking forward to this. It makes a change for me to be able to participate in events such as this one.
Great job in organising this DRock :thumbsup:

As a result of a career spent working with a bunch of uniformed muppets who think they know the time but dont Im just checking that everyones interpretation of "2100GMT" is the same as mine.
That being 10PM British Summer Time or UTC + 1.
Correct?

Should be 11.00 pm german summer time. Some pilots of JG4 will warming up their engines...and cleaning the cockpits....damn spiderwebs....:-)
Are the custom skins on?
Only asking as ive just deleted quite a few 2MB (EDIT Duh doofus.. those are the games ownDDS skins) skins inlcuding a spitfire adorned with Mr Burns from my cache. Likey obtained on the DD server but it would be a shame if the event turns into a rainbow coloured stutterfest as a result of people not following simple rules.
This sounds like the perfect opportunity to go dust off my Blennie. And no that's not a euphemism !
Then I'll wash and prep my hot summertime flight suit. Typically just headphones and underpants.
Jerry won't know where to look once I ultimately bail out.
See you all in a few hours.

Great organisation and a marvelous airshow. I hope you enjoyed the whole thing as much as we did. The huge air battle above boulogne was breath taking, planes and tracers everywhere. I think some video footage will follow in the next time by one of our squadmates. See you in the sky!

As a relatively new comer to the CLOD world, that was a first timer for me, and wow, what a blast!
Thank you DRock for setting this up, and thus giving us newbies a taste of what the glorious days must have been like. We’ll make that come back!
And thanks to all who participated and joined. Could not follow everything and everyone on comms, but wow, it felt like the real thing in those crowded skies.
Can’t wait for the next one...

Sadly we sustained a massive death toll both before and during the main event to aircraft and pilot failures during taxi, takeoff and landing. There was also a large number lost during entirely logical manouvers before the beggining of the main event. May we all fly on in better intelligence.....but perhaps not because goofing around can be jolly good fun too. :)
Either way, fun time as always simply being up in the air with fellow fliers attempting to use tactics, and realising the full potential of TS with last minute "Check six" calls, which given more than a second extra would have ended in a dead pilot. This is the first time I have actually experienced this personally :3

For somebody like me, who sadly missed this great initiative through Real Life Commitments, (Damn n Blast!) it was great to have the chance to see your pictures, TCP, and get a bit of a flavour of what went on....went up, and inevitably....went down again! Ha ha!
Thanks for sharing! And 'hats off' to Drock. I hope to make the next one! Salute! :thumbsup:

Damn n Blast!:thumbsup:It was intense and awesome, Marlow, I'd totally recommend never ever missing one again, if it can possibly be avoided. Good luck!
I'd taken some time away from Blitz for varied reasons so this was a fab way to step back into the cockpit. So great to see the numbers out, and perfectly timed with the latest looks at 5.0 progress.
It'd be great to see 'regular' featured events like this, that would only help encourage others in the bigger picture. I see DD server with activity, mostly solo flyers. But for 'proper' co-ordinated multi-player interaction events like this is a highlight for any flyer. Whatever focuses attention on Blitz, especially during slow months and waiting on 5.0 can only be a good thing.
Thanks for the fab time

This was the second Bomber raid, and immediately after out Tiger Moth surprise attack!

I still cannot get over how the above flight ended(and Also a perfect 3rd person shot of the ending is in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm1oYZ_ym98 from 69th_Leart}{awk.)

Loved it when I had to wait to get in line for take off while listening the engines reving.

Thanks so much Wukits for sharing these videos.
It is great to relive these events, and especially see the action from various perspectives.
Gave me the goosebumps...
Really really really can’t wait for next edition.
Oh, and one more thing: someone needs to remind the 69’ers about the "24 hours from bottle to throttle" thing...

Here is that second Blennie raid from my perspective, with external views.
https://youtu.be/3NwMGrxTP0U
The quality isn't as good as I had hoped, especially at the start, I have no idea why that should be, but you can see how awesome all those blennies looked, and the battle that went on as we approached the target

Ah ha. That was you that took me out just seconds before hitting Marquise. I mistook those cannon rounds for flak. Good job.
ATAG members really appreciated the resistance you guys put up.
Thanks again, and we’ll see you again, soon.:salute:
Second part :thumbsup:
Always looks awesome when someone saves the other ones 6.
Especially my side sweep in hit and run.

No cannons on my E-1 I'm afraid :)
Out of curiosity: Which part of the video are you talking about? If that's right at the start I think you were heading for Campagne Le Guines, MQ-W is further to the north!

I was in the Tiger Moth beside Wukits. Something took me out just seconds before hitting field.
