Aircraft Assault! HEXUS and Stirling Services are at it again!

Now many of you were interested in the Airsoft Weekend we covered a short while ago.

Well HEXUS and a select few from the IT industry recently met at a secret location in Oxfordshire for a day learning how to get into a hijacked 727 and kill all the bad guys!

The 727 fuselage...worth £40,000!!!

Yep, we were off on another one of those superb Stirling Services Training Days!

Ex-SAS member, John 'Mac' MacAleese shows some of the team where the plane is...

Have a read of the full article on HEXUS.gaming and be sure to check out the three videos of the event.

Brilliant. Would love to do that.

It reminds me of playing Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 with 7 other friends. We took 10 minutes planning an assualt, the first phase of which was my mate Matt opening the door and another throwing a grenade in before two others made the assualt on any terrorists inside.

The plan fell flat on it's face due to the inabitlity of Jez to throw a grenade straight. I watched in amazement as the grenade bounced off the top frame of the door and landed slp bang in the middle of the tooled up, pumped up, specialist assualt team killing 7 of them.

This particular friend of mine also has an inane ability to wipe out team mates in Joint Operations. He loves to got on the 50 caliber and let fly, chewing up mud, enemies and a few team mates along the way. Many a session has ended with the exclamation, "FFS Jez stop shooting me! and "That's it, Jez you are not allowed on the fifty!".

Seems like Hexus had as many trials and tribulations with alot of fun to boot. Nice article.

But have you watched the three videos that Nick created from my rather naff footage?

I reckon he did a brilliant job - the more so since this was his first experience of editing video for real.

I fell about laughing when I watched the third and final one showing some 'out-takes'.

Truth is, though, there were more out-takes than anything else, cos this SAS stuff ain't that easy.
