The Orange dweebs of the 1st.ROF No.322 RAF Squadron are responsible for severe hangovers.

A bit of history:

Its so much fun to organise this all for you. Years ago, in 1999 we organised a small con with another WarBirds squadron; JG3 'Udet' in a hotel in Apeldoorn. After that meeting, which was so much fun, we got hooked. So the next year we thought it would be great to invite more people as our guests and not just from WarBirds, but from Aces High as well. The past years most of us play many games and are citizens of other communities too, but... because we felt that no matter what game we play, we all share a passion for WWII aviation and air-combat. This 'thing' we have in common is beyond the game we play. And there's nothing more enjoyable than meet your virtual friends from the past and present face to face...

May we remind you of the fpo baptism ceremonies?

It's this relaxing character of the EuroCon which made it "famous". With special thanks to the Finns of course, who bring in the stuff every year again...
Check the forum for the picture reports to see how the newbies are being baptized :)
