    Default The Wright Flight is at it again!

    This Saturday is the second Saturday of the month - that means we're flying at Epic Loot in Centerville, Ohio. Doors open at 11AM, and we should be up in the air by 11:30 at the latest. Looks like we'll be piloting some August 1917 aircraft, keeping with our quasi-theme of '100 years ago' that we been following lately...

    Bring your own planes to fly or use ours - I'm sure we'll have plenty to go 'round.

    If you need directions to the shop, PM me and I will gladly provide them.

    All the best,
    Matt

    Great time today - only five of us, but fun was had and lots of flying done! Jim's new vinyl mat stole the show, and Nieuport 17s and a Sopwith 1 1/2 strutter took on Albatros DIIIs for several hours...pictures to follow!

    Good times, and Lock 27 afterwards - what's not to like!

    All the best,
    Matt

    Photos from our 2 1/2 hour game yesterday - Jasta 5 Albatros scouts against a Sopwith 1 1/2 strutter and a couple of French Nieuports. Jim's new vinyl mat is baptized by several fiery wrecks eventually, although surprisingly the only 'boom' card came as part of a collision...

    Rick flew the Albatros with the white fuselage and red stripe and was the big winner of the day, even though he was finally shot down on the last turn. He had been taking damage virtually all game - but too many of the cards were zeros......so he was able to last much longer than the pile of cards would lead one to believe...

    All the best,
    Matt

    We missed YOU, Bill! Sean did a credible job in your stead......he's a pretty darn good pilot...

    See you next month.

    All the best,
    Matt
