I have a style that most people would shy away from - I fly the planes by the #'s as they were intended - and generally 90 % of the time, the guys I wing with do as well.
So, typically for me - a mission lasts minimum 45 minutes to sometimes as long as 1 1/4 hours. Puts a different perspective on it, when you are just in normal cruise with a moderate fuel burn and still cooking along at 340 kts TAS, arriving and actually having a decent amount of station time to be useful.
Most of the time was spent between the P-47 and P-38 series on long haul routes, generally at 15K but sometimes up to 25K for fighter sweeps and bomber cover, so I guess I took AKAK's role in some respects.
Can't remember last tour's stats, but was like ranked 22 for fighters and something else for attack.
Would be glad to have u jumpseat if you wish. Shawk and I are CO's - just have the Wings of Terror divided in 2 because of #'s.
Best,
Wolf
