@morg_105tfs UPDATED text.

@morg_105tfs
Please repost this in my post List of Virtual Fighter Wings and Squadrons
Please follow the instructions in the topic, and I will post your squadron in the list.
@Seifer @MaxWaldorf - Can I ask your help to see if there´s any lost topics regarding squadron presentations so i can unify all in the List?
Thank you
-
@decimalminimal Hummm, Not really the time to look… Nor does Seifer, we’re busy with 4.36
But on another note, I will try to think of something to advertise squadrons in the future and conditions…

<blockquote>@Morg_105TFS Updated with new Fixed schedule: All Sundays from 1300z to 1700z.</blockquote><p><br />@Morg_105TFS again my friend please post the Sqd. Info in my post so we can have an unified area of Sqd. Advertisement.<br /><br />Thank you </p>
-
<p>I can’t make my personal schedule work with 2 jobs and 3 kids but must say I was very impressed by the 105th and Morg in his presentation of what they are about and how they operate. New/transferring pilots should definitely consider them!</p>

<blockquote>Sqd. Info in my post so we can have an unified ar</blockquote><p>I’ll find it now and post that, I have not had time to visit the forum frequently these past months. <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/1f44d.png?v=gcfd8gb1ch8” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–+1” /> </p>

<p>@Snake122 Thank-you for your interest, and hope to see you soon in the skies!<br /><br />I’m including a small tgp pod photo of the last reconnaissance sortie that was done over the West Coast of NOKO. Cheers!<br /><br /><img class=“ql-image” src=“https://i.imgur.com/0AEy0uJ.png” /></p>

<p>@Morg_105TFS <br /><br />Sweet video, man.<br /><br />And - a call-out from Snake122 is evidence that you must be a fantastic Virtual Squadron…!<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br /><br />Arapr0n</p>

<p>If the squadron schedule is Sundays 1300z to 2000z, do pilots need to be present for the entire duration? 1 mission during that 7 hour window… does that mean from mission planning to start to debrief?</p>
-
<p>@spotdott According to the first post by @Morg_105TFS the time slot is 13-17z, so 4 hours.<br /><br />I did some of their initial training but my availability was incompatible with their schedule. I can second @Snake122 in that the 105th is a squadron with very high standards. Anyone who commits will learn ground attack and BMS proficiency at the highest level.<br /><br />-JayB<br /><br /><br /></p>
