<S> Yet Again, Rooks
« on: June 16, 2009, 11:01:18 PM »
Received requests tonight from a few Bish to put up a B17 Mission with escort volunteers bringing thier own rides. We headed out in our climb, but not long into the mission, a few resourceful Rooks split off from thier main blob and found our group. Rooks, it was a firefight all the way to your side of the pond and back. You guys were a persistant bunch all the way through and it made for some fun fights all around. <S> all that fought us and flew with us. Fun times! :cool:

<S> EGG. I was one of the 38s with a pack of four. Ended up racking up a few kills (mostly escorts) but a 17 pulled up and rammed me. Was fun sir <S>

Yea, me Spikes, Viper and forktail were the 4 P-38s taking care of you guys escorts. We weren't going to do much damage to those B-17s in P38s.   :)

That MoM event was earlier, this was a different Mission later that evening, 10 to 12 sets B17's with escort
and plenty of opposition

was a blast, wtg Thndregg

You guys did pretty good at keeping the escorts hung up. Good idea while the 109's/190's etc.. came at us. :aok

The 38 is very effective at killing 17s.

Only because the two planes come from the same family. :)
