I would but with the fighters starting at co-alt there isn't really a point. They'll immediately have an advantage. They know where we're heading, they know how high we'll be etc.

I'm an avid B17 lover (I'm proud to be in the DHBG), but I'm not signing up for a turkey shoot.
Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

Any Fortress pilot who flew this will confirm: This was anything but a turkey shoot...in fact the 17's dominated their defense envelope....as 17's do from time to time

Tight flying and team work won the day....

Should have been their if you were not

Salute guys
