Doolittle Raid Update
« on: March 17, 2008, 02:31:33 PM »
The roster for the Doolittle Raid mission now has 8 people in. The roster so for is:
Homer13
Turbo10
Mike254
Russian6
Mussie
Strip
Blammo
Sekaybay

This now means that there are only 8 slot open, so get your spot before you miss out.

THE FIRST PRACTICE MISSION WILL BE ON MARCH 20th IN THE TRAINING ARENA 9:00 EST AND ON MARCH 22TH AT 9:00 EST, I WILL PM YOU THE ALL THE INFO ON THE PRACTICE AND THE MISSION BY TUESDAY. Hope to see you there<S>

On April 18, I will be re-creating the Doolittle raid. On that day 66 years ago 16 B-25 planes rolled off the carrier Hornet and bomb Japan.  The time of the mission will be around 8:00 or 9:00pm EST

To do this mission we will take B-25Cs with 50% fuel, 6 500 lbs bombs, and the glass gun. We will take off from a airbase in which we will head towards a cv and land on the carrier. We will then back-up into position and wait for my command to take off and bomb factories. After the bombing we will crash land somewhere away from the bombing. I will record this and place it on Youtube. Reply if you want to take part in this mission.

With all due respect.
Wasnt the Doolittle raid supposed to be a surprise attack?
Kinda takes the "surprise" aspect out if it by announcing it dontchathink?  ;)
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
