Joint-Ops first opened its doors in April 2002 and continues to accept  the challenges of teaching gamers the parameters of difficult game play in various games.  To date, Joint-Ops has conducted instruction in Microsoft's legendary Combat Flight Simulator, Electronic Arts Battlefield 1942, and UbiSoft's IL2 Series (Forgotten Battles, Pacific Fighters, and 1946).  In over 7 years of operation, Joint-Ops has seen over 2,000 applicants enroll and over 500 that have graduated an entry level Basic Program from at least one of these game schools; a requirement that permanently establishes  a lifetime Joint-Ops Membership.

I was a member of 5 combat pilots called out to stand in and wait for what was believed to be an attack on an emplacement about 40 miles northeast of our base.  We had one observer with us, so that made 6 of us in our group.  We were ordered to our planes, an unusual mix of four P-51s and two FW-190s.  I was seated in a P-51.  We waited on the apron for about 35 minutes when someone yelled,  “SCRAMBLE!”  Off we went and a short time later I hooked up with my Flight Leader.  We had no idea what direction the enemy would come from or how they would return home, so we broke up into 3 groups, trying to cover as much area as possible.  It wasn’t too long before the Flight Leader spotted an unidentified aircraft when he called me.  I looked around and had to tell him that it was our observer, so we continued our patrol.
