I'd like to start a weekly meeting of bomber pilots, who like to fly in tight formations, for 1 hi alt large mission a week. 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!
