WING VIII WEEKLY REPORT
4th March 2003

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

WING COMMANDER'S CORNER

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

Greetings pilots and welcome to my first ever Wing Report. In the future reports may not follow this
format. I've only been here a few days but its clear to see the Wing is doing very well. We had over
50% turn in for the competition against Wing IV and the e-mail activity we've had as late is a clear
showing that we aren`t dead by any means.

Our numbers this past week have went from 27 to 30. We're expecting to be up close to 35 pilots
by the end of this week. Between old pilots returning from the fleet reserves to new cadets joining
the ship, we're getting our numbers back and the ship is once again secure.

I am very pleased with the performance of this wing, you've all been doing an excellent job.

Older TIE'95 patches updated, Clk/F released for XvT
18:25 - AD Ender mBind [mindb_ender@hotmail.com]
I've updated the older patches for TIE95 to add amongst others custom OPTs (The craft now actually look like they supposed to) and custom names in-flight. This has been done already to the A-9 Vigilance, Cloakshaped Fighter, TIE Dragon, TIE Phantom Mk.2 and TIE Scimitar, the TIE-IW patches will be next.
Besides these, I've also released the new Cloakshaped Fighter patch for XvT. :)

All these patches are available from the Patch Archive at the Science Office Site - give them a try
