You "say" you love the Mosquito, but . . .
« on: February 01, 2010, 03:52:31 PM »
. . . where are you?



The scenario "The Final Battle" features the Mosquito -- the first scenario since 2004 to do so.  The great Mosquito, the beloved Mosquito, the Wooden Wonder, you say.

But where are the pilots pledging to fly her?

Look here -- there are no Mosquito pilots signed up yet:

More details on the scenario are here:

I know there are those of you who love the Mosquito.  This scenario is for you.  Time to step forth!  :aok

It would be nice if the "fast" Mosquito were actually fast.  Of the aircraft listed for that scenario, the AH Mosquito is only faster than the Lancaster and Ju88.

Scenario aside, she is fast.  The HTC measurements were taken at 22k pounds.... My Mossie up with 19k pound, 3/4 fuel, no ord.

Well, at some alts it is faster than the FW 190F-8 (and very likely faster than a loaded F-8), the Bf 109G-14, and the FW 190A-8.

Mainly it is the flame dampers.  If I can, I'll sign up to fly a Mossie.  I'll need to see if I have other commitments though.

The Mossie is a jealous mistress.  She tolerates no others.  ;)

with there being no night in AH why does the mossie suffer this castrated fate?

if it was an American or German ride that had this inconceivable misjustice done to it there would be a revolt!
