Spitfire!

I couldn’t think a better thread to put this in. Buddy of mine post this on our MC site earlier this week.



Accompanying text read, “My day since 0545 EST. Final flight checks and work ups before air show this weekend.”

Another one read, “Military Aviation in Virginia Beach, VA sent a C-47 “Chalk 40” full of hurricane relief supplies 6 OCT to NC at the end of our Warbirds Over the Beach Airshow. It was my honor to be the Plane Captain for Chalk 40 launching him on the humanitarian mission.”

Damn. If I weren’t laid up I’d be helping. Unfotunately it looks like there’s more work ahead.

@michaelsatin, did the medals ever get rewarded for this one?

I sent the list and the award to Jim. Awaiting his response.

any idea when we are getting our medals?

Joe

Off topic, but any of you all want to take a crack at a medal for the Mustang campaign?

I don’t have photoshop anymore and don’t want to pay their ripoff subscription price for a single project. Figured I’d ask.

that’s why i said we need some one or two in charge of the medals on this board.

Watched the Shamrock Spitfire.
Cheesy, predictsable, and ultimately enjoyable. A big :shamrock:

Yeap, got mine as well … Great group build with some really nice Spits… Bf109 or FW 190 group build in the future ?

I’d go for an FW190 build.

I could go that direction as well.

I also have Corsairs and Zeroes in the hangar. Just sayin’.

The Mustang campaign

Unfortunately it ends at the end of the year.

Michael :israel: :stuck_out_tongue:

Okay, so 29 days should be enough.

got mine, thanks all who put it together. now can you do the same for the mustang campaign?
i have a couple ideas for campaigns- an aces campaign, can go by theater or country. personally i would go for a pacific aces campaign. maybe even several campaign spin offs, one for each theater
a sexy nose art campaign- all nations and wars. maybe to include armor.
a zero campaign- maybe zero aces. not to much attention given to their pilot aces.

Japanese aces campaign might be fun. Or Italian. I don’t think either get much attention compared to Allied and Luftwaffe pilots.

Joe we’ll get the Mustang medals distributed once the campaign finishes end of the year. I need to make one first though.

What about a CBI campaign? Any vehicle/figure/aircraft from the region. Flying tigers up through the chindits and 1st Air Commando Group. That type of stuff.
