Nice!  I assume you guys landed on the CV and "backed up"?

Well.......  Funny story, No we didn't make it back up the AAA tore us up pretty good at the city and with the damage we couldn't make it back up cause of fuel leaks but of the 5 of us in 25's 4 of us did make it back the 5th crashed about 8 miles from the CV. We did do 2 runs of it though the first run was disaster only 1 of us made it back.
