Hi everyone

I was wondering if anyone knew of any organised tours of the Hawgsmoke event this year, am living in the UK but happy to organise my own flights and meet up with any tour that is happening there.

Thanks
Kevin

These tours refer to a organizer here in europe that organizes tours to the Hawgsmoke competition.
Quite expensive though.

Just hit the Hawgsmoke 2012 website, so they're not offering any patches, etc. this year?!?

Cheers! M2

I think it was rushed this year to be honest, funding wasn't even approved until late June, early July. Today is the big day, schedule wise:

Take-off Times:
◦0700: 354 FS
◦0720: 25 FS
◦0740: 303 FS
◦0800: 74 FS
◦0820: 190 FS
◦0840: 47 FS
◦0900: 107 FS
◦0940: 45 FS
◦1000: 358 FS
◦1140: 163 FS
◦1200: 81 FS
◦1220: 66 WPS
◦1240: 76 FS
◦1300: 75 FS
◦1320: 104 FS
◦1400: 357 FS

Anyone there? Sure would love some pictures, oh and I hope the 76th FS kicks ass!!!

I'm here. Busy though. Going in tomorrow to LOX and PR for our Saturday departure. I'll see about getting some pictures...didn't get a photo pass until this afternoon, and by then we were ready to get ours to bed and get back to the hotel to cool down...lol.

I haven't heard anything about the shwag. I hope I at least get a coin. Tomorrow night is the awards banquet.

357th DM took top honors.

66WPS took second.

Since the bylaws state the hosting team can't host twice in a row, Hawgsmoke 2014 will be in Vegas baby!

Most everyone had a top three in something. My unit, 163FS was #1 in strafing a moving target. The jet I was working had a Mav video problem so we missed out on that, and many units ended up near bingo fuel since we did summer loads and they had to do 2 hour missions and had trouble finishing all of the tasks.

Pretty good time though.
