Claimjumpers and Escorts
« on: February 11, 2012, 05:54:03 AM »
Excellent mission for Frame 2.  Total obliteration of A2 plus going after "ENEMA" the CV fleet.  Kudos to the fighter sweep and escorts that kept virtually no enemy fighters from messing with the Betty bombers. :salute

Then there was this.

War
23:01:00 Departed from Field #6 in a G4M1 Model 11
23:43:36 Shot down a G4M1 Model 11 flown by DWDing.

He should have watched that dilbert video  :cheers:
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

It was a bombs away blue on blue incident. :D

Very rare to happen in FSO for a friendly to die from bombs overhead.

About those buildings..... and this may be old news.

I landed at A12 for a re-arm, and while approaching the pad, I stopped a little to much to the side and rolled to far. This put my left wing up against the small building on the re-arm pad. At first I figured my night was over, as I had no way to back up, but with very light and easy throttle inputs, and working the rudder and right brake a bit, I was able to slide the wing  off the side of the building with no damage. I was very surprised it worked, as in the old days, if you even touched an object like that, your wing just came off. I am glad to see that has changed.

My guess is if I would have used to much throttle, or hit the building with any real force, I would have broken my wing.

Guess I got lucky. ;)
