  Dang, I've got a feeling the 152's just got a little deadlier.

Good choice

You should try to milk these for later sometime, it's only 4:05pm on the west coast right now.  Leaving early, with good traffic, and a tailwind, maybe can be home by ~5:30pm.

Should have heard the box chatter go when that first batch of high 190 and 152 rolled in from behind the bomber formation.  Another on of those " in the cockpit" moments.  They rarely happen for me in the MA.  Good fun

Jcritter, CoverDown and TooTall have already registered and have their spots in 8th AF.  Butcher and Pong are also eligible to register also.  If someone has already flown before and I missed you.  Let me know.

We had a good turnout around 35 players.  Thank you to all who participated.

Was good stuff AKKuya count me and some of TG guys in on the next also.     

[Condor11]

Was an absolute blast. More numbers would be even better. Shoot we had ack hitting us from a luckily placed cv, 262s 152s and all sorts of others hitting us. Even tho none of us poor buffs got home alive it was by far one of the best times ive had in the game in the few years ive played. Thanks for setting it up. Id recommend everyone gives it a shot next week, its scenarios like this that are the best part of the game. Come find out y.

Glad everyone enjoyed it.   

On a personal note there guys.  The Bomber Commander had all 3 B-17's shot out from him this week.  Let's try to keep him flying next week.

Thanks for joining the mission mates.

Thanks for joining the 8th AF Forums mates.

Thanks for offering up excellent resistance and a good fight to the very end, and with mostly luftwaffe aircraft,  our antagonists.

.........really glad you liked it Condor, it is a refreshing change eh ?  I did not know that was you, I think you were the last one flying weren't you ?
