Do we have to re-apply for our Squeaker hunting licence from last year?
Season is opening up quick, better get the license soon.

I'm going to assume you don't drive but I'm going to use this analogy.

If you're driving down the road and your car catches on fire would you:
A. Keep driving and try and put out the fire?
or
B. Pull off the road, bail out, and move to safety?

Get ready for squeaker season and run before you get hunted.



Hmm... This is a hard one. Is it A?

Not that I give a rat's rectum, but I think he's talking about the base fires.  You know, sitting on the main pad (in case someone tries to kill you and you can safely tower out instead).  The hanger is on fire and there's smoke blocking your view of that Lancstuka diving in to drop 20 bombs to take out your Wirbie.

Either way there should be something. The base personell wouldprolly get their butts in gear in real life if the base was burning. and werent WW2 planes equipped with fire extinguishers?

This is why we need buffs with a fire-retardant load-out so they can put out their compatriots engine blazes!

It takes 15 minutes for the crews to put out a hanger fire. Give them a break fire fighting is tough work.
