    As part of Project Julius a new Chinook CH-47F transport helicopter has crashed while on a test flight. Due to the fact that Boeing's new digital flight-control systems have been fitted to this aircraft, the recovery is a priority mission.
    The reason for the crash is unknown at this time.
    There will be a number of teams on the field with the task of recovering these parts.

    What you need :
    Pen and paper,
    a Torch
    Snaplight*,
    warm clothes, :)
    food,water,
    spare batteries,
    BBs
    BBs
    BBs
    What you want :
    Comm.s
    get your permission slip signed,
    NVG,
    tracer units (please see below)

    airsofteire appear to have a few TM tracer units in stock - the best about hands down.
    Load of tracer blaster bb's too. Not a fan of blasters myself but I might pick up a bottle to give em a try.

    I have the clone from ebaybanned - have it a couple of years and it's still going strong, but I know some guys have had no luck with them.

    If I had the money to waste (or if/when my existing one dies), I'll get the TM but I've been lucky with the cheapie so far...

    hope I haven't missed anything !

    I'm out. American football game on the other side of the country.

    Sorry Dave, looks like you'll need to find someone else who can accurately name every single part on a Chinook to convincingly play a pilot...

    The man might be charming and clever, but he couldn't hit the back door of a barn with a bazooka.

    He also knew absolutely nothing about Chinooks, apart from how to get in and out of them.

    Good evening to one and all,
    As you can see (look out the window :) ) the weather is sh*t and the weather forecast for the weekend doesn't look the greatest. Therefore this event may be postponed. Tomorrow I will post at 1600 if this is so. (PM me your phone number and I'll text you the update ).

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,502 ✭✭✭defenderdude


    I'm in Galway again this weekend (daughter in the Gaeltacht) and unfortunately cannot make this game. :(

    While I hope the weather improves for you all - deep down, I hope it's postponed and I can get to go and fight all night... (sorry):o

    If it goes ahead - have a great one.
    See y'all soon (been too long)

    the ground is going to be super saturated from all the rain and night games you do spend a lot of time "dug in" IMHO I think a rain off is due, yes I'm a fair weather gamer too, but most importantly I don't like wet socks........ I think a delay of two weeks would be an ideal plan,not availible next week and it's all about me :)
