No humans will fly anything in that.  It will be Skynet and the terminators.  ;)

I am gonna apply for a job with Skynet when they come online.  I bet the pay and benefits will rock

Yeah. Right up to the point where a terminator slaughters you with a 40 watt plasma rifle. Or perhaps it's bare metal hands.  :aok

And what do you think the Canadians would have thought of you?  They were, after all, rather conspicuously part of it.

Can't tell if Floob is trolling, or just very dumb and slightly racist.

It's true, nobody cares what we think...until we put a slug in the back of their head at 2 000 meters. Canadians have been known to do that...

Probably Malta,  

on the odd occasion that Gerry wasn't blowing the place up, a beautiful island and people.  



Some R+R



Adrian Warburton's book is a great read, he left from an airfield down the road from me and much like in AH where one pilot can make the difference between winning and losing he was testament to that with his PR work.  

Gutting that after everything he went through he upped a P38 sortie over Germany towards the end of the war and it ended up a smoking hole in the ground.  Silly P38's!    :old:

Ideally, Air Group Ten, post-refit Enterprise, then transfer to Night Air Group Ninety, still off of Enterprise.

Canada = the rest of Minnesota.

I've been to Canada, saying Canada isn't America is like saying Guatemala isn't Mexico.

How much combat were P-61s in before war's end?
Over 700 were produced and were in service in the ETO,PTO,MTO,and CBI starting in 1944. They got little to no action in the MTO but were used in the ground attack role in the other theaters along with their solely designed purpose of a nightfighter. They straffed the Germans at Bastonge and even knocked down several V1s. I don't know what "relatively little" means, maybe compared to other fighter types I guess, but they saw their share of action for filling a smaller role.

For fantansy what if purposes, put me in one somewhere in the Pacific Theater.
