Jagdgruppe 2/Jasta 5 is pleased to present and host this year’s 15th annual spring campaign!  This year’s campaign is the first Bloody April to have the complete Flying Circus planeset available to draw upon historically to create the premiere multiplayer event in the "Bloody" space above Arras and Vimy Ridge!   As a result, participants should at a minimum have Flying Circus Volume 1 and 4 in order to participate in this event.
The campaign holds the distinction of being the first world-wide community campaign in both Rise of Flight and Flying Circus.  We look forward to welcoming new flyers and prior flyers to this years event!

Registration is open on the Flugpark Discord Server! Participation capacity is limited to those who register first.  If you wish to participate and have not registered and need a link to it here it is - don't forget to forward it to your friends!

Summary Overview:
Summary:  This event will be progressive through periods of the actual 1917 historical event, with each week reflecting a different date, area of operations and corresponding plane sets of the period.  While the historical Bloody April was a relatively one-sided combat, our events have always intended and largely been successful in providing a fair competition within a historical context it recreates.

There will be objective based missions necessary to complete to be successful and victorious, including:

Photo Reconnaissance
Artillery Spotting
Trench Mapping
Bombing

and a few possible surprises for each side!

Please address questions and inquiries on the Q+A section of the event discord linked above.
