VMFA-531 will have it's first practice (now that we have 4 pilots):

Sunday evening 8/21, 9pm EDT, Private Server

If you're interested in:

• Listening in and seeing what we're about
• Trying out for a seat
• Learning how you can integrate your squad with the air support
• Talking tactics

Then we might just give you the password during our practice.

Give me a PM or post here if you're interested, and we'll arrange for it.

I'll talk to 1stMIP members to arrange a meeting and join you guys.

...seeing a friendly hovering jet on top of your head, priceless

Tempus

Sunday evening is already used for practice by the 7th. You'll always need to check with me before scheduling the private server.

My bad. We're gonna need to reschedule.
doh!

I'd like to practice giving you orders as a commander. One guy in a jeep trying to cap bases, me trying to spot him in time, and ordering an airstrike before he can capture the base.

is this for all pilots? or just jet pilots?

Currently, looks like Saturday, 1PM EDT, Private server. Confirming...

Thus far, I will send PMs to powersmoker and John CANaver with the private server password. Riki - awaiting your reply. Raub - I'll send you one anyway, just to complicate things.

That's an excellent idea!

If you're asking if VMFA-531 has helo pilots, the answer is no. We're fixed-wing only.
If you're asking about the practice invitational - that is, as implied by the list, for jet pilots and players who want to work out ways to integrate with Jets. So if that includes helo pilots, and they have some ideas about working with Jets, then YES.

If I get clearance from the Watch Commander, I'd like to practice Air Defense, ie Stingers, etc....

No, but if you want to be smart targets thats fine with us

We'll be doing wingman tactics among many other enjoyable things. I hope that we'll also decide to have a little fun and pull some cool stuff (AV be recording). Its probably just funny watching Strike and I screwing around flying ontop of each other. But I was assuming go ahead and do that with maybe 4 jets on teamspeak doing a few stunts. I could show a few people the uber supermen . But that's if we get bored I hope.

You have no idea how much I would love to get in on this, but those dastardly time-zone gremlins are making it impossible .
Anyway, at least I have my meeting with John CANavar and C-team on saturday evening...
