Just wanted to add my thanks and salute to the Rooks (Swoops among them) who staged that huge, escorted, high-altitude B-29 raid last night.
This is what I posted this morning over on the JG11 forum...

Late in the evening, Frodo, Hopper, Zud, and I each grabbed a Ta-152 (Zud was in a K-4 I think) because a large, escorted B-29 raid was reported. I discoed shortly after launch. Upon relogging, I saw the other guys getting close to the bombers, who were Rooks, going for the Bishop strats. One by one, our brave pilots confronted the escorted Superforts, claimed a few bombers and fighters, and were shot down. Meanwhile, I was chasing back and forth all over the map, up at 39,000 feet. The bombers ultimately made a huge circuit of the map and also hit our Knight strats! But, just before they did, I managed to make a single head-on attack (at about 33,000 feet) and nailed one of the bombers, piloted by Swoops, who promptly sent me a "salute" over text. The bombers' return fire took out my radiator, engine oil, nose cannon, and one wing cannon. I glided to a deadstick landing.
And so to bed.
