Filth,

Any chance you can turn this into a rotating Buffin Rock and Rolling tour where every weekend all of you change countries, call your mission up on the channnel, up to 25-30k and teach everyone how its done? It might catch on as an institution. The once a month rook, knight , then bishop super buff mission. I don't fly buffs, but escort or attakin them at 25-30k takes big brass ones.

Last year I was in a 60+ buff mission as an escort. Once you are there, no nay saying or complaining can touch the sheer incredableness of the numbers and the action, and just being part of that many planes.:)

Just doing it, over and over again will gain support and help bring back the honored sim tradition of high alt buffin. IMHO;)

Whether we do it in MA or CT I dont care, but Id love to see a bunch of us get together one night a week, have mission plans, hold a pre-flight briefing, fly out to high altitude, mass drop on a target and rtb for debriefing.

  If interested please reply and we can get some folks together for this. My email is fluxputz@hotmail.com if you want to work on this with me.


AARRR!!, nuthin like a 10-12 buff, gunned,  formation at 30k with spits, 51s and 38s escorts. Maybe a couple mossies for good measure.

My AW squad Flying Tigers 130th, used to do them all the time, with very devistating effects, and a lot of landed points.

We had some real tight formations, almost all planes within 100-200 of each other. Except for lead scorts.

Most of those runs were about 1.5 hour runs, some times two, getting to 30k before ever leaving the back side of the map. Travel over most furballs to the deepest most important targets, nail the living hell out of them, and cruse half way home at 30k, then slightly desend  for speed to storm over the furballs back home to land.

GREAT time!

I'm up for it.  Reminds me of a few weeks ago when JB's squad and..well 25% of the rooks ran a 130 some B26 raid on 8 bases LOL.

Or the stuka raid, that was a blast.  I bet if you checked out the overall kills on that one page that is now up, a good portion of those are just from that mission lol.

So count me in.  I'm a very accurate level bomber so gettin up in the nose bleed section calms me.
