WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
17th March 2003

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

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

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

The Wing continues to grow, we are getting several new pilots in the next few days.
We're back up to 30 pilots, and hopefully by this time next month we might just have
40 pilots. If you have friends out there, that like star wars, the Empire and you think
they just might enjoy the TIE Corps. Tell about it, get yourself a MoI and bring a
couple new pilots over to the Colossus.

Theres been a few questions lately about when we'll consider opening Mu squadron.
I have no plans to even consider opening Mu untill each squadron has 8 pilots. Then
I'll think about it.

I'd like to offer congratulations to everyone who got promoted recently, theres a couple
more promotions pending this week. Its certainly a good week here on the Colossus!

Glory to the Empire!
