Ah, sorry I;ve not replied sooner - been a most hectic week at work! It is rapidly approaching coursework deadline time and my classes are now starting to panic that they havent been listening to me the last few months about starting to get their act together and to make things worse half the department is off sick
Anyhow, We are indeed always looking for new people - we're a nicely warm and friendly bunch like that!
We have also started up a much more indepth training program with the introduction of our Luftkriegsschule run by our 3 training officers. The official training night is Thursday at 20:00 GMT but to be honest you will find at least one of the training officers online most nights around then, and even a lot of mornings around 9:00 GMT when our Auzzie chaps are right side up!
With the 109G2 it really is the most balanced variant, it is very forgiving to new pilots in all aspects except landing and accomodates both boom and zoom tactics and turn and burn. In JG53 you will find practitioners of both tactics and everyone is always happy to share knowledge and tips, teamwork is our top priority and a team is only as strong as its weakest element (oh god I sound like some sort of motivational speaker!
) and because of that we try to ensure all pilots are at least able to perform at a certain standard to ensure both they and their team-mates have a chance at survival in some of our most hectic missions by concentrating on training and bettering everyone's skills.
If you want to know more, just drop by and sign up, any questions you may have will be answered as quickly as possible as someone is bound to know the answer, and in the rare case where someone doesnt, there will always be someone who will help find it out!
