12 July 2012 Thursday 8th Air Force Mission

[Condor11]

Oh the bombers that i was haha. But with bingo ammo in nearly every gun, and holes every which way, snailman in his 262 made quick of a mosty unescorted set of 17s . But still a blast. Im sure i was a sight to see vilkas plinking away with one side gun while i was trying to outturn a 190 haha

But I payed my price this evening too, I lost a 262 during a frontal attack on another bomber formation: "Shouldn't they come into my gunsight now? Oooops, here they are!" *crash*  

Your escort fighters were doing a great job during most of the battle, they seemed to be very disciplined (well at least much more than usual MA standards) and made it very difficult for me to set up my attack runs at all.  

[Condor11]

Yea our escorts were awesome. They ran outta fuel tho lol. Add that to the AAR Kuya, Moar Gas!!!

[ALFAMEGA51]

Only had 11 gallons left when i touched down at 219  , but all in all, it is definitley a blast, a lot different then the normal MA stuff

I for one am glad your with us, running the 47's all around the buffs.  We had a pretty good 360 degree curtain of defense going there most of the time.

Some reason the 8th forums wouldn't let me sign up, stupid security thing i mess up my Os and 0s.

Kuya, I tried 5 different times - some reason it will not accept the confirmation code I try to enter, no idea...

[LilMak]

Crap! I missed it. Danm you real life!

[The Fugitive]

I had a lot of fun too. Hooked up with Stampf and a few of his guys and we came in from an off side. Had we a bit more alt to work with I think we could have done some damage with the 7 of us coming in together. As it was I ended up with 4 on my tail real quick, and ALFA and Mav chewed me up pretty good.

Looking forward to next weeks run <S> to all involved.

I'll put you in manually then.

I flew 20 mins to finally get to altitude and target with a couple of buddies and disco just as I come out of compression and turn for the formations 

See one of my buds nail one of AKKuya's buffs in his 110 just as I am about to loose connection... Also, a good shot of Stampf harrassing the formation and being chased by escorts.....   (Click below to use the attachment option from another forum.... check below)

Thinking on moving the Mission up one hour to allow more people to fly.  This will make it easier on those who work and stuff.

Proposed new time is 9PM EST/8PM CST.  Sound off on this proposal.

It will also make it more safer for the bombers, as 3-5 AM is definitely pushing it over the edge for me

That will work much better for me, I would have been able to make it last time if it had been at 8PM CST

That knocks me OUT    Crazy upside down world I work in, has me leaving for work 9:30 EST. 

Do whatever you feel is best, most folks ARE logging in just as I am heading out to work.  The exceptions might be those in European time zones.  Even a half an hour later would probably dink us early birds.  But in my case, I usually disco before I make any real impact other than holding the film camera for a few moments..........  (see earlier post below)
