Here you have found the greatest Aviation Regiment of them all: the 69 GIAP where you can fly the finest combat aircraft from the 20th Century. We are a proud and friendly bunch who strap ourselves into the cockpits of legendary warbirds in the great air simulation games IL-2 Sturmovik 1946, Pacific Fighters, IL2-Cliffs of Dover and Rise of Flight, where we do combat with any Capitalist or Imperialist air forces or navies that get in our way!!

Where else can you be flying a fearsome Fokker over Amiens in the morning, smashing tanks an IL2 over Smolensk at lunchtime then bailing out of your Spitfire for tea and biscuits in Buckingham palace in the afternoon?

You can choose a career flying nimble fighters, spending hours in front of the mirror adjusting your hair gel or dedicate yourself to unleashing cartloads of cannon shells, rockets, bombs and retribution with the hairy arsed ground attack crews or wrestling huge four engined bombers around the skies with our Strategic bombing team.

We run several campaigns each week in both European and Amerikan timezones against competing squadrons so you will get plenty of action flying against the best pilots on the web in missions that have objectives for each pilot, plane, bomb and bullet.

Our regiment’s pilots have answered the call from all over the world, with members in France, Spain, Denmark, Sweden, South Africa, the UK, the USA and Canada, to name but a few. We are always in need of brave pilots willing to sacrifice their joysticks for the Motherland. No matter where they hail from, all that is required is a stout heart, a quick wit, and a tolerance for our fine spirits (brewed by the aircrew, originally meant for cleaning tractor engines!!) which we consume by the gallon each night in the mess drinking toasts to the homeland and any misguided empire that has seen fit to employ a band of mercenaries.

The fame of the 69.GIAP traverses the globe having saved the British Empire in the Battle of Britain and assisting the American entry to the war due to a slight navigational error during weapons training over Hawaii. While the US Navy were a bit cross, the USAAF subsequently spent millions of dollars developing our training program. Many of our squad members fly in real life so we can assure you this is as real as it can get flying in your front living room.

To find out more about the pilots who inhabit our aerodrome, check out the Pravda and you will find some indication as to the calibre and character of those who will risk life and limb just to get home to the warm greetings of Olga, our Chief Inspector of Pilot Ejection Systems (she packs our parachutes!!).
