WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
3rd June 2002

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

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

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


Welcome to the latest weekly wing report.

Things to note this week; Omicron have won SoM for the 4th Month running, Curtis has finally won PoM, and CSL is coming to a end.

Despite the fact that Iota have clinched the CSL title already, there is still something to play for. The final standings in CSL will be used to seed the Wing VIII squads for CSL 2. So if you want to avoid the top squads, you need to get flying.


Now for the Weekly Quiz....

Valentine McKee, Earl Bassett and Rhonda LeBeck are all characters from a movie. Name the movie, and the actors.


Again, I'm going to repeat the changes to PoM/SoM for this month.

BONUS POINTS:
IWATS courses passed (10 pts per course)
LoCs won (5 pts per LoC)
DFCs won (50 pts per DFC)
Iron Stars (Bronze 10pts, Silver 25pts, Gold 50pts, Platinum 100pts)
MoT all types (green hammer 25pts, red hammer 60pts)
Graphics, a maximum of one per pilot per week to be jointly graded on a
scale.
Fiction, a maximum of one per pilot per week to be jointly graded on a
scale.

GRAPHICS/FICTION SCALE:
0 - 0pts, 1 - 20pts, 2 - 40pts, 3 - 75pts

Criteria are; Effort + Technically sound + Artistically sound
0 - No criteria
1 - 1 criteria
2 - 2 criteria
3 - 3 criteria

Submissions receiving the top grade will be inline for medals and the top Fiction and Graphics will also be submitted to the wing for voting, first place in each category will receive Services to Art and Services to Literature awards.

There will also be a change to the weekly flying medals beginning in June:

WEEKLY FLYING MEDALS:
ISM 25 missions
PC 45 missions
BS 80 missions


COLOSSUS SQUADRON LEAGUE II:
20 Squads have signed up; Iota, Pi, Mu, Nu, Eta, Omicron (Wing VIII), Alpha, Delta (Wing I), Sadhe (Wing V), Nemesis, Talon, Kraken (Wing XX), Tornado, Inferno, Typhoon, Tempest (Wing X), Spear, Hammer (Wing IX), Yod, Teth, Lamed (Wing IV).

I've got 21 listed because Lamed may have to replace Pi and 1 extra won't be too much hassle if they don't.

This weeks pilot and Squadron of the week are Ardeth Mordor and Omicron Squadron.
