The Blacksheep have officially made the change from IL2: 1946 to IL2: Cliffs of Dover as their primary Flight Sim. As members purchase the sim and make upgrades to their systems, we look forward to seeing more members on-line now that the sim has finally hit the shelves. Rise of Flight and/or the Iron Cross edition , and DCS: A-10C Warthog are also strongly suggested for squadron alternate on-line flight ops.
Tis the season once again! The Black Sheep Squadron would like to wish everyone a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The Black Sheep Squadron has upgraded to Teamspeak 3 for their primary voice communications. You can connect to the server at IP 24.64.239.67 Port 9987 PW 24coop. The TS2 server will remain running as a backup.
We are also getting the Greenieboard up and running again and would like start doing so CQ work again to get some numbers up for this quarter April 1st to June 30th. Remember you need at least 2 members doing traps to be able to post the numbers. This is not for confirmation, but for the whole purpose of doing CQ. Using proper communication and procedures during the CQ Training period. Hard tro have an interval with only 1 aircraft in the pattern. I would suggest everyone bone up on CQ procedures and do some review of the BSS CQ guide. You can find it here -> BSS CQ Guide
If you need the CQ moving carrier mission please email bss_staff at yahoo dot com or bss_stootn at yahoo dot ca and we'll get that sent out to you asap!
HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY BLACKSHEEP!!!!
On November 21, 2009 there will be an open chat running all day on the squadron's Teamspeak server and a fly-in for those who wish to participate and celebrate the Blacksheep's 10th anniversary as a formidable group of aviation enthusiasts flying WWI, WWII, Modern Air Combat and Civil Aviation Flight Simulation on-line. Blacksheep old and new are invited to stop in and say hello and even strap in to a WWII fighter for old time sake. This will be a fun time to catch up with old friends and to honor a dear friend we have lost just a few shorts years ago. Don't miss this opportunity to catch up with fellow Blacksheep from all over the globe!
Once a Blacksheep, Always a Blacksheep!
May the Christmas season
fill your home with joy,
your heart with love
and your life with laughter.
A wish for peace and happiness
at Christmas and throughout the New Year.
Wishing you a Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year.
14 July , 2008
It's been a slow winter, slower spring, and even slower summer 2008. Some of our most active members have taken an extensive leave to actualy make a living as pilots in the airline industry, rendering squadron activity down to nill-to-none. As these members become active again after their initial training with their respective companies is completed, we hope to see other members step up and spend more time flying on-line. With the anticipated wait of the new Battle of Britain, and the new Korean War sim using the BoB graphics engine; we're anticipating a steady rise in squadron participation to enjoy new challenges and even deeper enhancement and immersion into the Combat Flight Sim arena.
Please check the roster page for updates to members and profiles to see what your fellow Blacksheep look like.
