Tornado Squadron Report #14 - 5th May 2001


Welcome to the Tornado weekly report...if you are sober enough to read this sentence, then you may continue ;P


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Fleet News

Two new Wing Commanders have been appointed this week; Wing XIII (ISD Grey Wolf) - Major Azazel, Wing IX (ISD Relentless) - Major Lohr Zadash. Congrats to the both of them...though possibly commiserations to Lohr depending on how you look at it :P

The EH Ladder has started it's second season...go sign up at http://www.imperialacademy.org/ladder/join.asp! It caters for XvT / XWA / JK players.

Results from the latest Outer Rim night have been compiled at http://io.emperorshammer.ca/article.php?sid=237&mode=threaded&order=0


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Challenge News

Inferno squadron was victorious over Spear squadron! Congratulations to them :)

Tempest and Typhoon have also been busy battling it out, with Tempest coming out on top. I'm sure Typhoon will come back with a vengeance :P... anyway congrats to Tempest ;)


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Squadron News

As you all know, CM Var Zoraan left last week to allow COL Piett to take his place due to a broken computer at home. Hopefully Var will return when there's a space and he can fly once more :)

Flight II's nickname and motto have changed...check out the squadron roster at the bottom to see what Mai has decided to embarrass all you guys with :P

Competitions

Squadron League Finals - Fly TC-TIE Battle #164
As I've already commented, seeing as we don't know if we've made it to the finals or not, it seems logical to start flying this battle anyway. More details have already been sent out in separate emails, so there's no need to repeat them here, just bear in mind that the deadline is May 11th.

Tornado vs ??
Until some more big competitions re-appear, we will resume our Supremacy Tour as soon as the Squadron League is over...(I think I may regret saying that >:P)
