What a fight!

[Anaxogoras]

That was a hard fought battle!  We were assigned with cap for 56 and found the Bostons out over the water to the west.  Somehow we got in between the bombers and their escort and shot down a number of drones before we were bounced by the Spit9 escort.  It was a big mess, and when we tried to dive away to disengage, probably 75% of the escort followed us down to the deck, forming a furball just north of 56.  I had two Spits 800 yards off my 6 while doing 550mph+.

That was us(13MPG) in the spit 9's GAVANGI. We spilt our squad (escorts) into a front and rear  group.  The lynchmob was in the bostons. Our initial contacts were about 2 k above us and  zoomed in and rolled for the bostons..  From then on, it was a NASTY furball as we decended to (hell) as it would be.  We did leave some with the bombers, but the axis rides were to many. Was my call to be close escort.  Seemed to be the wrong one. But, you win some, and loose some.  To my guys for kicking and screaming on the way down!  To the axis for sniffing the attack out, and ripping it to pieces. We have some screen shots of 4 different kinds of axis planes following a single 13th pink spit 9.. Our guys had fun, but it was quick!   Salute to all..  See you next week.... Tuk151
Ps. Just curious to see how many axis squads encountered our battle. Target was v60, we didnt make it there tho  . We saw 110's 190a5's, c202's, and 109's....

That was the TAC Drivers in 109G6s you encountered NW of A56.  We were at 20k and 18k split in two groups one above the other, and I believe some of you ended up on the deck with us just North of A56.

Wolfie, Shifty, you're slipping...two of your boys had me dead to rights over C112 and only came away with a right aileron. (Pucker factor was involved though  ) Hope you had a sucessful nite, I ended up orbiting 112 unopposed for 5 minutes wondering where the heck the rest of the 353 went! Funny how we keep crossing swords in the FSO's........

[Shifty]

You can call it slipping I guess. VF-17 is still a small squad doing the best we can do.
