Cit if we had "screen shots of the month" that would be it!

WTG!

Was a blast!~ Cita kept one formation nice and tight ahead, and alittle below, and we brought up the rear...here's a screen climbing out, with Clouds casting shadows on this beautiful terrain! Nice job!

I left Icons on with mine so you could see the Memphis Belle, piloted by Ranger Bob (upper right, in Rip's group).

Wow....look...I am in the pic! Must have been snapped before that unfortunate "friendly fire" incident. I have to say that I was a little upset by the fact that there wasnt a 2nd frame last nite. The Saturday afternoons usually arent good for me and I love the Friday nite schedule and unforunately, after one of the other bombers shot me down I was relegated to a gunner role. It was great....by the way, thanks Cobra and NUTTZ for letting me gun....but I would have preferred making the bombing run.

Those screen shots are super guys! Ah! Wish I could have made it!

Sling, I always give the CM's the choice for 2nd frames. If they have the time and the numbers are there most will. I know sometimes it is just not possible due to real life. As it was, 10bears was stepping in for mass to CM so he might have had time constraints. On top of that he as to CM again Sunday.

It is always a good sign when you leave the players wanting MORE!

Another victim of friendly fire

The formations looked awesome though and the terrain is really 1st class. a really biq WTFG to all who had a hand in it's release.

I should really have stayed online and gunned for someone but to be honest I was a bit pissed when I got taken out (I will hunt you down in the MA and take you apart)

JK. Just another bit of added realism I suppose. I can't make the Saturday snapshots and the Friday ones start at 3am for me so it is a long night to get taken out before the action begins.

Cya's all at next weeks <S>

TTFN

It would only be 10pm for me. 9am for you and 8PM (the next day) for Japan. Would only do it if we knew there would be numbers
