It was really fun, I hope to be there later but AH is getting a little crazy on me.

[Dragon]

I believe the SW's will be escorting in D-11's.

  


Still voting though.

Anyone else having trouble getting the map to DL?

Great event Brooke.  I had a blast (pun intended)!

The altitude of the bombers was a challenge I
hadn't counted on but once I was able to
finally reach them a good time was had.

Thanks for putting this together!

[Volron]

I was there for the 3pm eastern, though I showed up late to that dance.  I was able to be in the 2nd part and had a blast.   I made sure I was going to be to the entire thing for the 10pm eastern.  My highlight was running out of fuel the 2nd go around and gliding all the way back to base and landing it.  I took 25% the 2nd time...big mistake.  But they were out running me on the 1st go because I was at 50%.   Definitely had fun!

Now, if only we could get an FSO geared towards this time period....


Good show Brooke.

Long flight (longer than expected) with the 17s in the first 10PM leg last night. Nice tight formation of buffs, constant stream of interceptors cutting through the formation, long run for home with slashing interceptors, and that nice tight formation kept shooting them down. I made it all the way to A45 only to run out of fuel a few miles out, then misjudged how well those B-17s glided, came in way too fast, bounced off the runway, slid along the hill at the end, ripped a wing off on a tree, cartwheeled, and died. Was a great long ride only to blow it at the end.

And apparently hit nothing with my bombs. Not sure if I missed or just dropped after others and hit already-destroyed buildings.

Thanks Brooke for sponsoring the event!

This was the first organized event I took part in and holy cow did I have fun.    to everyone in the b17's during the 10pm run and thanks to oneway for being so easy to understand and follow that even a mook like me could make it. (no ankle humping intended here, just a thanks)  I will definately be doing this again.

[Zoney]

Very Fun.

Fun listening and watching the airstart rookies attempt to control their aircraft.

Fun staying with the bomber group on approach to targets.

Fun as the bandits intercepted the group.

Fun as I got a kill and save a buff.

Fun as 2 190's and a 109 attacked me and I dragged them low and away from group then escaped.

Fun as I climbed back to alt to escort the buffs home.

Fun as I found SWkiljoy all alone egressing and escorted him all the way home and he landed all 3 of his buffs.



Thanks for the fun!

[DEECONX]

Yup, fun was had here. Had a great 1v1 with PB. Would have had him if I didnt auger  We bothed laughed and he even said I deserved the kill from that fight. I said no worries, it was fun. I'll see if I can grab some screenies. Thanks for the event Brooke!
