How about just one Ki-67 pilot joins me?

[Brooke]

I'm looking for just one more pilot out there to join me flying Ki-67's in the upcoming Philippine Phandango scenario.

The group I'm in (762nd Kokutai) is just one pilot short of full.

I'm hoping of all the pilots in Aces High, there is one more out there that will fly with me.

I think it will be a blast.  The Ki-67 is an excellent bomber, and we will have targets at land and sea, and some torpedo bombing (which is great fun in scenarios).

Here is the link to a bit of information on the scenario, including dates and times and a link to registration:

Also, there are still positions open overall on the Japanese side for N1K2, Ki-84, and Ki-61 pilots.

Thought about it.

Then I recalled the last scenario......

Glad I took the time to think about it.......

LOL VonMessa ...

Maybe you ought to take the time to review the writeup which addresses some of the things which might have caused you to recall the time to think about the last time you recalled the last scenario...

My favorite is v7  "adjusted numbers of aircraft for smaller registration"

Kinky.

Let's just see how this one goes, shall we?

That is if the logs and/or forums are released afterwords, of course.....

I thought about asking VonMessa to reconsider.

Then I recalled the last scenario......

Glad I took the time to think about it.......  [Note for the humor impaired -- this is a joke.  I'd be happy to have VonMessa or any other pilot join me in Ki-67's.  I think it will be great fun.]

I'm onboard with this idea of kindly riddeling Messy until he relents and joins us.  Where was he when the first writups got released and the previously-fearless leaders began crying?  It's arguable v7 was implemented because there were some groups of players very unhappy (and threatening to boycott)about the writup this time due to it being more limiting to side CO's decisions and "flexibility" with deploying forces on the field of battle this scenario.

Messa, if I had a dime everytime I gave up on something that had a potential of being really unpleasant but possibley really fantastic, I'd be a lot richer and still unmarried.  You know you want to team up, get drunk and here us all complain about our wives and exes while cruising at 20k for 3 hours again.

I decided not to cry.  I just ignored.

I never threaten without a follow-through.

besides....

I'm a little busy at the moment   





Aluminum sheets should arrive any day

Calm down.  You should have went to Dayton, relaxed and had a beer..........

Heh -- good pics!

(And nifty-looking basement, too.)

I think that if the Freebird$ had not been assigned KI-67s in a few of the previous FSO's and we didn't have that experience to remember, we would join, but.... More than likely, no. KI-67 is the REAL flying coffin.

Well, my airplane isn't going to scratch-build itself.

Any bomber that isn't protected or flies into overwhelming force is going to have problems, B-17's, B-24's, and Lancasters included (as I can tell you from much direct experience in scenarios).

Take Ju 88's, TBM's, and B5N's as examples.  None of those are nearly as good as the Ki-67 in survivability.  The Ki-67 is much faster and has better defensive guns.  Also, the TBM and B5N don't even have formations.  Yet I've flown in scenario missions where I had an excellent time fighting my way to target along with enough escorts that I didn't die, plastered the target, and got back home.

I've also flown in scenario missions in B-17's at 25k among 30 other B-17's with escort and not made it to target because we just got overwhelmed.

It's not the bomber, but the situation.  The Ki-67 is an excellent bomber.

Here is a pictorial where I, alone in my formation of Ki-67's, got attacked by two F4U-4's and survived to tell the tale:

Here's what would be great.

Instead of posts from folks who aren't going to fly Ki-67's with me and want to tell me so --

how about if just *one* person out of the many 100's who fly in Aces High would say, "Sure, Brooke -- I'll fly Ki-67's with you".

I know there is one of you out there.
