S!
I mostly fly blue, but have now couple of times gone to red side as blue had greater numbers. About a week ago on ATAG I was flying with couple of squad mates, we had no trouble of getting airborne from Hawkinge. Sure, we got in action right away, which was all good. No need for the long trip over the channel

.. After clearing sky from most of the harassing 109s we got a bit alt and then took the fight bit further from the coast. Scratched a couple of incoming AI bombers while at it too.
