Just wanted to say something nice. (I know, i'll probably make scuzzy/HTC do a double take)
But.... A big salute to the AK's last night for some classic squad action.
My heart raced as I investigated a huge "dot" formation, thinking I'd found the rare, I think the elders called it, a mission!
It turned out to be some angry cats being rode by Arabian Knights! what a glorious and awe-inspiring sight!
F6F's everywhere, and my N1K both slashing through and trying to run away at the same time. I KNEW I was hooped, but it was suddenly about trying to get 1-2 seconds of life out of my N1K and pride didn't want those hellcats to get me just yet. The tower cometh too quickly it seemed.
Good fun.
A NOTE TO SQUADS:
If you are flying "squad night", think about putting up a pickupmission. If you were on the rooks and asked for joiners already showing 8-10 pilots in the mission. I would have joined no issue! Please think about posting a pickup mission when your crew is rolling like that as I'm sure you'd have interest in joining... If it's pure squad night and you're all yacking away and don't want 1-off's, I get it... Just know that this pilot would LOVE to join up and be part of a "big wing" in the MA.
AK's
always fun flying with AND against you... Except Shrike... he thinks I pee'd on his airplane... (it was actually his jeep for the races, but don't tell him that.
)
