Unser Interesse gilt der Flugsimulation am PC und insbesondere der Software „IL-2 Sturmovik“ und seinen Nachfolgern.
Als Online-Piloten fliegen wir seit Februar 2003 in einem „Geschwader“, um gemeinsam mit anderen unser Können in virtuellen Luftkämpfen am PC zu messen. Der Spielspaß und die Freundschaft stehen im Vordergrund. Im Zuge unserer Geschwadertätigkeit beschäftigen wir uns aber auch mit allgemeinen Themen
der Luftfahrt, sodass der Bezug zur realen Fliegerei gewahrt und miteinbezogen wird.

Welcome to the homebase of the virtual I. Gruppe Jagdgeschwader 27.

We would like to give you a short introduction on who we are and what we do within the subsequent lines.

In february 2003 we arose from the I/JG26. Lead by the ideas and principles, of which we think they are essential for both a succesfull teamplay and strong company within our members, we challenged the long way of virtual flying as a squadron.

February 23rd 2003 was the day it all began for us. Ever since we tried our best to make our name in the rather small community of flight simulations − more precisely IL-2 Sturmovik .
Our squadron is named after the historical Luftwaffe squadron I. Gruppe Jagdgeschwader 27, and therefore we are focused on german airplanes and tactics. Unfortunately many people – mostly those who do no not make an effort to gather further information about what we do − think that virtual pilots flying for the german side in IL-2 would like to see a resurgence of the Nazi aera. That is defenitly not the case. We aver not to approve the crimes or ideologies that have been present during world war 2, nor we accept such behavior by any of our members. We clearly seperate reality from our virtual activities. Teamwork and the challange against international players is what still attracts us to the game after all those years, not the possiblity to continue a war that has caused so much pain to europe. We think that the long list of people we call friends, is the best evidence against all those inconsiderated preconceptoins.

Although many of our members are able to speak and understand English without difficulties, we decided to acertain German as the main squadron language. So we unfortunately have to reject applications from non-german speaking pilots. Nevertheless we are open for international cooperation regarding flight affairs. (In case you would like to arrange training flights or flight events we ask you to contact the squadron commander via mail or the forums)

After almost 8 years of activity we are still addicted to the virtual operations we use to participate mutliple times a week. Now that IL-2: Cliffs of Dover has been announced for march 2011, we are preparing to join a new aera of flight simulations. In order to strengthen our group for the upcoming battles of the British-Channel, we are always open for applications of enthusiastic recruits.

S! and good landing.
