Thanks NatCigg,
 It's our first time pairing up with another squad to execute a Mega Mission and I am pretty sure we will be asking other squads to do the same in the future. It's a lot of fun chewing the fat on the climb to bombing altitude, and we get to know one another and friendships are forged under fire.

How high will you fellows be flying? If you'll be 25k and below, I will help escort you. If you plan on being higher, I will make plans to go out that night instead of flying on Aces High.

Ouch.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

25K should be max alt for all bombers in the MA at all times IMO

And there should only be 1 163 in any given sector

Show up for the mission and we'll be glad to tell you........most of that information will be decided prior to the launch of the mission, and will be fluid during the whole mission.

Ouch.

It may sound harsh, but no different than scenarios or FSO limitations they are always in place. It isn't fun for escorts or interceptors way up there.
