The Navy League of Charleston, SC and the Fallen Angels Virtual Air Combat
Wing plan to conduct a Forgotten Battles - Pacific Fighters air combat
flight simulation event from 9 to 12 October, 2009. The focus of this event
is the air campaign flown over the Solomon Islands chain, from August 1942
to the summer of 1943.
This event, known as Guadalcanal Smackdown 09, will be conducted at the
Scientific Research Corporation (SRC) Conference Center, located in North
Charleston, SC. A state-of-the-art Local Area Network (LAN) will be set up
in the SRC facility to support the event, and the event sponsors plan to
invite virtual combat flight simulation enthusiasts, from around the world,
to participate. Highlights of the event include:
- Virtual combat flight simulation enthusiast will fly eight
scenario-driven dogfight missions in the Solomon Islands Campaign area.
Scenarios will cover the full spectrum of air combat operations conducted in
this theater of operations and will be based on detailed mission planning
sessions. The scenarios will be flown on a detailed map of the Solomon
Islands chain, known to historians and military history students as The
Slot. The attendance fee is $75.00/person, which covers the full three days
of planned flight simulation events. There may be an additional $100.00
computer rental fee depending on sponsors, for those who are unable to bring their personal
computers. Event participants are responsible for bringing their own flight
simulation equipment (HOTAS, TrackIR, headsets, rudder pedals, etc.)
- A ceremonial dinner to be held onboard USS Yorktown (CV-10). This
WWII era aircraft carrier is berthed at the Patriots Point Naval Museum, on
