Ought to appreciate our discipline not to just jump in and attack anything that moved, tho. What delayed us from engaging was the bases W of the city continued flashining AFTER the group of P-51s passed the DAR circle, so my squad was still looking for another group coming up.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I wonder if we (353rd FG) where the P-51 group that you passed.  At some point, we flew right through 190s and 262 and not one of us fire a shot.  we just kept going our separate ways.

We were a group of G-14s. We were heading north to check out the contact and saw you passing at extreme dot vis east at around our 1 o'clock, but turned our search further west initially expecting bombers to be following behind from that direction. Too bad there weren't any, because we would have been PERFECTLY positioned to hit them without interference from the initial sweep.

Our Buffs were 14 to 16 K we staggered the formations for better defence, Didn't really need to, felt real safe with the AoM there, The Army of Muppet's took care of any fighter that got close, i think we lost 5 total but 2 were from that Air launch, Bombing 31 was hard due to the thick low cloud layer, but all in all its was a blast, i think at one point i heard on range that Bipolar had 4 or 5 bad guys on him But they were dispatched quickly, i guess they use BP as bait from time to time  hehe

Yeah, BiPolar pulled a "Lllleerrrroyyyyyy Jenkkkkkinnnnnnnssss" on us and dove to the deck with his tempest.  We were all forced to risk death in saving him.  Luckily though, 7/9 of us survived.   :)
