Hey bobbysocks,

Nice idea! I was actually thinking of a custom air race for the game and figured I'd give you the details I had worked out so far in case you might want to include this into your event.

The custom mission I was thinking up was actually a relay race with teams of pilots doing a circuit on various maps. My initial plan was centered around the Stalingrad map since there are 7 airfields scattered around the board!

Basically each pilot will land at a different airfield and just like a real relay race, will remain on the deck until a team member either touched down or landed. To add a little extra challenge to this, I envisioned each team possibly having to utilize one of the ground attack aircraft such as a Ju 87 or IL-2 to encourage a little strategic thinking as to where the best position would be for the slower plane to be placed! From there, each team would have to complete a circuit or a number of circuits with the one coming in first the winner.

Just a little something I had been thinking about not too long ago. I never fulled worked it out, but figured it would be a fun break from combat flight. I don't know if this is something you could or want to use, but just throwing this out there, just in case! Take care man and good luck with your event!!!

EDIT: Forgot to add that each team is only allowed to select any given aircraft once in order to keep everyone from taking K-4s. Also I was still up in the air about taking jets and if allowed, I was only planning to let each team take one!
