Last night some members of the 56th and I uped a 5 plane jug sorty....We survived several hordes and Executed Textbook Wingman Tactics.... Originally I wasnt planning on making it back home in one piece, but once I saw that we were all halfway through the sorty I began to think:
"Holy S***, mayb I'll make it home for once."
We all decided to RTB with our kills as the Furball was intensifing and we were getting low on go-go juice. I saw a lone Lanc on the Deck and decided to make a single pass on it and then continue home. Right as I got the Lanc Blukitty and the others gave me like 4 chk 6's.... Golly-gee spixteen on my arse as i was zooming back up...
Exact words that came outa my mouth were:
Mutha F***a, lemme tha F*** alone!! you F***ing peice of S***!! I tried deperately To shake this lil a-hole. Revesals, Flatspins, overshoots, u name it nothing... Just then I got wounded and I sed "aww F***!, there goes the sorty" I started to blackout and then I heard myself get hit some more and then a loud booM!....
As I recovered from the BlackOut I see Blukitty Flying WingTip to Wingtip on my right side,and all she said was:
"lol it was Peiper again :]"
as i RTB'ed on the deck next to her while the other 3 were flying high cover, all I could think of was, wow... she's my Guardian Angel
I know it sounds Corny Now but that's Exactly while I was thinkin...which brings me to the Question:
If you could have One Person to Clear your 6 and you know they Would'nt Miss no matter wat kind shot it is, who would it be??
