Once Again, <S> Rooks
« on: May 27, 2009, 09:24:45 PM »
Tonight, we ran a 21K alt B17 Mission straight into an eventual hell of a Rook wall. Was a lot of fun duking it out with all those Ta152's.
<S> Rooks. Hope to do this again, soon. :cool:

Pictorial:
http://ah8thairforce.org/42709.html


All bombers of the strike force were sent to earth. Few escorts made it back, including Hajo, shamus, coprhead, and few more I may have forgotten. The losses on the enemy were great, confirming over 30 sent down and around 20 damaged. Out of the 22 plane scharm that attacked at target. 15-18 were knocked out of the sky.

<S> To the people that flew with us and the opisition.

Here are some pictures I managed to get.
A huge  :salute to everyone on both sides. Bish and Rook.


First Contact

Centrality not the last.



This is when my heart sank a little bit.







Heads up!































I was the last to go down. And this is how I went.



Sorry if it took forever to load on your computer but I think the pictures were worth it if you weren't there to see it yourself. :rock :salute

Very Nice Shots for sure!!

Looks like you guys are about 22k and the 190's are even higher. How do you find a match up like that and why?

Did you let them know ahead of time or something? Never seen anything like it.

Fudgums, you have outdone yourself, sir. Nice screenies. :cool:

To the rest of y'all... great participation, great fights.
Even though this was posted for my "country" to join in general, this is what our squad is about. If you like what you see, stop on by.

 :salute.............Gentleman. ................That was alot of fun. I was in a 109K4 playing with your escorts while my 190 brothers came for the bombers.

Last night is the reason I pay my monthly dues, because missions like that and fights like that are hard to come by.

You never know, maybe rooks might up a mass German bomber run with 190 and 109 escorts one of these nights..............<hint>  <hint> 

Again..... :salute...to all that was there last night.

Stoliman when thundr posted the mission it was for B17s only.

Bishops and TFC saw the mission and asked if escorts would be allowed.

TFC did Jug up we were at 28 - 30K in P47Ns.  We had also Mustangs and

other aircraft.

The Bishops like a good time.  Most Bish will look at a mission to see what's involved.

Over country channel I asked thundr if he would like some escort.  His answer

was sure!  More Bish then came to the launch base and picked a fighter from the stable

and launched with the mission. 

It's fun to be Bish  :aok

That's the exact shot I was trying to duplicate. ;)
I was hoping someone would recognize it.
