Given the con will be on in 2 weeks and given that the con mission may very well be a bunch of "new bombers" escorted by a bunch of "new fighters"..........

you could be right............

Not that a huge mission of B29s escorted by Ki84s (irony duly noted) would not cause a ruckus in the MA, it would fall considerably short in the ECM tradition of old. Maybe if they modelled the nuke or if the Ki84s had quad 75mm (with the recoil and fire rate of the .303s)...then we'd have an ECM to talk about

BTW: my bet is on the B24...

Well, it is another Friday. Any chance of a bone getting tossed our way?

Thanks.

Karnak you going to the con this year? Was good to meet you in the CA mini con we had last year.

I enjoyed meeting you guys at the minicon too. The effort put out by Funked and Mieleta was really appriciated.

Unfortunatley my finances just can't handle making it to the Con in Texas. I have more than enough vacation time saved up, but living barely above paycheck to paycheck doesn't leave enough discretionary funds. Maybe next year. I made it in 2001 and I'd like to make it again.

I can understand that. Took me 1 1/2 years to save up for this one. Sure hope the next one is in the summer. Being away from my students for 3 days during the school year is going to cost me.

ramzey,

Well, I have some stuff I'm working on and if it goes well next year should be much better for me.

Here's hoping.

daddog · « **Reply #24 on:** September 10, 2004, 06:41:00 PM »

Start saving now Ramzey, but I doubt I can go two years in a row. Most likely for me it will be every other year.

Yes, that should be doable.
