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!
S!
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...

Thanks DRock, that was a blast, literally!
Flying with Wukits, and DRock is always like this. Hope you guys had as much fun as the rest of us!
A shout out to DRock for putting this together....TWC enjoyed it and are looking forward to the next one.
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine.
"Tom Petty...Runnin' Down A Dream...Full Moon Fever"
Hmm I read Sunday, My computer was not on at all yesterday.
Anyway it had been out of the question, wifey got sick and I had to tend to her anyway how I read it.
I was kind of looking forward to it today. I hope it will be another one soon
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!

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.
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

Here's another video of the first sortie during the event (right after the server restart)
Second part
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!
Always appreciate a big event like this. I think if anything then we have to thank you for organizing it!ATAG members really appreciated the resistance you guys put up.
Thanks again, and we’ll see you again, soon.
