Logged in today not expecting much from a test frame.  I was lucky to join up Kermits squad flyin Kates.  Got to hear some history of the actual battle while flyin around in the 3 hour test frame.  It actually went by pretty fast, and was mucho funo  :aok 

Here's a few pics...

Predawn waiting for scouts to take off.

Looking good on the way to our deaths...
