Useless thought of the week:

"Getting shot down too often gives you headaches." ;)

1. CM TK-6686 is still Wing XIII's top pilot with 660 points in the ASF:SC IV. Way to go Trent !

2. SL Dash Ralkin joined Vortex Squadron this week. Give him a warm welcome !

3. Vortex Flying Competition is over. Congratulation to the winner, CM TK-6686 who won with 47,460 points !

4. I'm still waiting for a new competition to be approved. Vortex Top Pilot in the ASF:SC IV gets an IS-BW, and the title of Vortex Ace until next ASF:SC. Hasn't been approved yet, but I hope it will.

5. ASF:SC IV is still running and we need your contribution. So get flying and get me so IWATS course...

6. LT Xanathar is now MIA. And I've been nice with him...

1. Well, Imperial Storm III will be launching April 22nd. XWA pilots, this is the main event. Have fun :P

2. Submitted by VA Khadgar [khadgar1@shaw.ca] The Combat Operations Office is proud to announce the release of two new weekly Multiplayer competitions for pilots to participate in. The first is the Sovereign Nighthawk Competition, which will take place Fridays from 3:00 PM EST - 6:00 PM EST in #EHCOC. Second, the popular competition Thursday Night Training will be returning in a new form, Saturday Night Training, which will be held on Saturdays from 8:00 PM EST - 11:00 PM EST in #EHCOC. I hope to see everyone there to help make these new competitions a success!

3. ISD Grey Wolf is currently at 7525 points in the ASF:SC IV. It's not enough for first place people. We want that flagship title ! Get flying and IWATSing.

4. In other news, the TC has a new Baron, COL Brucmack. Congratulation Bruc !

5. Submitted by CPT PhoenixMan [GMFPhoenix@aol.com] Ten people have signed up already to attend EH Day at Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, PA. The target total is 25, so we can get a group discount.

The people who have been to Kennywood say, on average, that your first visit is worth a 6 hour drive. If you live inside a 6 hour radius of Pittsburgh, you should attend. For information on the rides, and some excellent Pictures, Visit http://www.kennywood.com

If you can attend, or need more info, contact CPT PhoenixMan at GMFPhoenix@aol.com Hope to see you there!!

I had a busy RL week. I caught a bad cold last week-end, then found out I have a problem with my lower jaw, which required penicilin. So it has been a week I'd like to forget. But now it's saturday, sunny outside, 16 celsius. And snow is finally melting...so here it is.

I'm kinda sick and tired of my activity rant, aren't you all ? Well, there's two way to end it. Leave the squadron (emailing me with a request to transfer to the reserve), or simply fly. I'm not asking too much from you people, and I'm impressed by two of our pilots, yes, only 2. I can't stress this enough, if you can't fly, you should at least report to me. Reporting in takes only a couple of seconds. You just have to write "Reporting In" in your mail to me and I'll be happy. Any questions on this ? I don't want to be issuing warnings next week...

ISD Grey Wolf is currently in second place for the ASF:SC IV, it seems that the VSD Aggressor is leading. Now we wouldn't want to let them win...We're counting on each one of you (including me :P) to win this fight. Come on people, I want to see more BSFs in my mailbox this week. (And I promise I'll flood our WC's ;))

Pilot of the Week: Congratulations to...CPT Deamon and CM TK-6686. Your efforts in the ASF:SC IV are awesome. Keep up the good work guys !

That's it for the week I guess *searches his desk*...yeah, that's it. Dissmiss.
