Great fun tonight everyone. We had about forty people in arena overall and about thirtyfive were in the mission. Allies took off with ten sets of B-17Gs, two P-51Bs, two P-38Ls, and five P-47Ns. :aok

The 2.burn wasn't fully factored in our pre-flight, only lifted with 2 75gal. D.tanks, 75% int. Made to target with 8 min. left of juice with bombers.

It was pretty tight, took 75% and 2 DT's and had to go to max cruise early in the flight.
I should have taken 100%. It was probably close to realistic.

Thanks for organizing this, Larry.  I managed to get in at the tail-end of the mission, looks like the rest of it was as fun as the last of it.

I took 100% and DTs in a P-51B and didn't have enough gas to make it back. Got to the target with less than 10 minutes left to get back. Ran out and had to ditch at sea short of friendly territory.

Incidentally, and apropos of nothing...

Why was there the P-47N and P-38L, but no P-51D??

For the same reason that there's no 109K-4: it's too uberl33t.

Actually the P-51B is more maneuverable, the P-51 just has better guns and longer range at alt...
