They do speak english
Would love to join in and just watch them. Was invited a few years ago. I think in 2023 I might need to do something about it. If, they still have an open invitation to join them… -
@NIL
Yes, we do speak English very well… But sometimes not so schnell. -

Location: Schloss-Buchenau - Seminar house
Time: 13th to 22nd November 2022
Mission planner: Bloodhound, Doc, Korbi, Boomerang, Lobster
Motto: Operation PrætorianIt was that time again: Finally November again, finally community meeting again.
This year we gathered in the newly renovated seminar house from Buchenau Castle for Operation Praetorian. Boomerang has written us a wonderful story about this, which - how could it be otherwise - is based on the film “Top Gun - Maverick”. In the course of the week, we were able to show where the film is realistic - and where rather not.
We - the NATO Response Force - have moved to the Balkans due to a situation in a “villain state.” There, our task was to demonstrate our power through various training flights in order to give the rogue state - which, by the way, shared the bed with the Italian mafia - a warning shot in front of the bow. Of course, this was not enough, which meant that in the final mission we had to fly under various air defenses in a canyon in order to ultimately destroy a factory in which uranium was to be enriched. Surprisingly, there was an air force base right next to the factory, where some outdated F-14 Tomcats stood. The rest is film history!The efforts of recent years in the field of networking have now finally paid off. X4nPr0 and Micro have installed a network that worked absolutely perfectly. Only one mission had to be re-fled after a crash - but this turned out to be a mistake in the BMS.
Since learning is of course sometimes not entirely unimportant in addition to flying, we had one or the other interesting workshop, e.g. BFM, IFF, BVR or SA - especially as MC.
True to the motto “Zero hours between Bottle and Throttle”, most flights were also not carried out quite soberly by a large number of pilots - which most likely contributed greatly to the success of the operation. In addition to beer, a lot of various schnapps went through at the counter - which, by the way, has undergone a proper upgrade.
As usual, the week passed far too quickly, which of course only increases the anticipation of 2023. By the way: The Buchenau future is properly planned! Not only 2023 has already been scheduled, but also 2024! Be there!

Sounds like a great event. I think you mentioned previously that you were running some mods? Which ones did you use out of interest? Thanks

@wazza69
Usually no mods, „vanilla“-installation due to LAN stability. But this year we had some new skins, e.g. „civil“ aircraft and a -cough- special Tomcat -
