Eagle Day
« on: February 08, 2011, 09:46:57 PM »


Ju87s form up over France in an attempt to strike Port 107 in the UK.



Our raid didn't quite make it to the English coast. I think possibly two Stukas may have gotten to the target.
The rest got tied up in a dogfight mid channel after being intercepted. Suprisingly it was one of the funnnest fights I was involved in all week.
Salute everybody on both sides it was a fun night.

 :aok If two out of, what looks like seven, making it to the target actually sounds pretty accurate without escort.  :salute 

Stuka formations always make me grin (once I actually get above 300 feet  :D ).

Actually there were 8 of us. We would have split and flown half in Stukas and half in BF-109Es to keep things fair had we known the Stuka was so uber.  :lol

It was agreat idea. I can't remember who came up with it Trap78 or Strike I believe. It sounded like a winner as soon as they said it though.
