The MOSQUITO fighter

[mechanic]

rgr that JR. Just voicing my opinion that the mossie we currently have is infact very capable in the late war arena....I gotta try to reach him on this matter!

Bruv, I agree with you there (apart from maybe the cardboard bit ) and yeah a new mossie would be great, I just couldnt take my baby being insulted in that way by Raster

It was indeed a fast cruiser, which gave the LW a hard time jumping it. After all, the twin engined fighter-bomber was cruising faster than the one engined fighters. If the contact was anything else than a "jump", the mossie would have a good chance simply running away.
There was an account somewhere on the boards regarding Mossies outrunning 190's over the north sea. Karnak?

I posted such one anecdote on one of the older mosquito threads.

Here is an interesting document I found on mossie.org. A combat report of two mosquitoes on day ranger mission: jumping a group of JU52's, wrecking havock on an airfield and out running two FW190 on the deck. An interesting day for them I imagine.

Don't waste your time on RASTER but if you're a masochist, you can find him in the TargetWare forums along with the other 4 TW flyers sitting around posting in a forum for a game that no longer is available.

AckAck, i think it was just a wonderful find on your half. I just had to repost it.

That's crazy talk, the AH mosquito is a murderer's plane and more than a match for the majority of the planeset here. That is of course....if you know how to fly it and don't rely on speed to survive. If you get a faster mosquito you wont be any better at flying it, you will just be able to escape more often when things don't go to plan. Try some ACMs in the current AH mossie, fly it for more than a few weeks. I have flown it almost exclusively for over two years in AH and i can tell you it is a very decent mossie.

Here is a man who needs to be flying in the upcoming scenario The Final Battle!

Mechanic, are you flying in it?  They have a beautiful, new, fresh Mossie just for you if you do!

I would like to Brooke, is it possible to be a walk on? I'd hate to sign up officially and then not be able to make it, I have quite unpredictable weekends usualy.

Absolutely it's possible to be a walk-on.  Send a PM to Husky01 (BearKats) -- I'm sure he'd be thrilled to have you flying the wonderful Mossie for as many frames as you can make it.
