Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

My friends.  We could do as these fine folks want.  We could do a custom arena, fly the historical mission that they want to see and film it.  It would not have to be a battle but rather a pre-determined outcome just to get it on film so they could watch it.

                   Or

We could do a snapshot, setting the pieces in play and letting the players determine the outcome with their gameplay as we do in other snapshot's, scenario's and FSO's, and film that for him.

We have exellent fim makers here.  Either situation could have multiple films from multiple players to be edited down to portray the battle well.

I have limited skills or organizational abilities.  I would be willing to spend some time flying it for them.
I'm down.

I'd recommend contacting Jaeger1 from Jg 54. I'm sure he'd set up the AvA for something like this.

If anyone is interested in the history of this mission details of the the Grapefruit Mission can be found on the 303rd BG website. I also have some data on it from the 379th BG Anthology and some general info on my tribute site to Swamp Fire - 42-32024 - Swamp Fire was the first Heavy Bomber to reach 100 missions without an abort. I haven't checked the 483rd website but there may be something there about it.
