Hi Elvis,
I spent entirely WAY too much time flyin' last night.
My little band of brothers joined up to help "Tunes" with
a base-capture early on in the evening. They were trying
to get "V57", the vehicle base way up north.
His crew and mine were out of synch as my "47 Ronin and friends"
had done a fighter sweep prior to that and couldn't launch with
Tunes at the same time.
It turned a bit messy and an enemy CV compounded that, so
after about 45 minutes, I withdrew from that and ran some
fighter sweeps on my own for a much needed change of pace.
At that point, we were sweeping from our "62" airfield and
working our way to the Bishop airfield West, then pushing
North up towards the "49" area. We were just doing indirect
support with those sorties.
Later, we moved South, again doing fighter sweeps and
some attack/capture efforts very late at night resulted in a
couple of fields taken under our belt.
I don't have the patience or the inclination to be in "win the war"
mode all the time. Repetive and constant base capturing just isn't
my cup of tea. I like to mix things up with my herd and do a little
bit of everything over the course of a night.
We had some outstanding fights last night and my hat's off to you. <S>
Hey, a little bit of "history" for you. The "CAF" in my handle is representative
of the fact that I flew with the "Cactus Air Force" for a good number of years
when I first flew in Air Warrior and Aces High. "The Flying Circus" was our
sister squadron back then, ramrodded by "Vati" who was a wonderful fellow
and a hardcore stick.
I've not seen Vati online in years, but if you or any of the FCs see or hear from
him, tell him I said "hey!".
Best regards, Odd
