-----MA HIGH ALTITUDE STRATEGIC BOMBING MISSION FRIDAY 06-12-20-----



Good afternoon everyone,

Last week was awesome, two Knight and Bishop strat runner bomber missions ran into each other!   This weeks mission will be on Friday 06-12-20 in the main arena.  Targets will be announced at 1930 here on the BB.  The strat run target alt will be 24,000ft.  Last week we also saw several new faces join the formation.  As always we are looking to add a few little friends to the group as escorts - if you are interested you can walk on or hit me up in game or here on the BB.  We will start the mission briefing at 2000 US EST - if you want to fly with the main body of the formation please try to attend, things run a lot smoother when we all up at the same time.  Relevant information will be posted below.

Notice: If any Fighter Squadrons would like to fly escort for the Bombers (Knights) please PM me on the BB or in game and let me know you want in on the fun.  Even if only a single squad is willing to escort - the chances of the bombers making it to the target sky rockets.

If you are a regular and would like to be added to the expected weekly roster let me know!


PS:

Mass missions like this are what what make Aces High so unique and keep me paying my monthly tribute to Hitech.  If we can keep growing out missions (of any kind) to something of an "dude this looks crazy!" scale we might just rope on a few more people.  I personally sit on the fence, but as stated above the potential scale of combat is unrivaled and keeps me on the hook. <S>FBTrev95/Riftval

I want to get to one of these but this    usually falls asleep around then.
I do have to stay up late the next night for KOTH and that's been going for more than three hours lately so this would be an ideal night.

It would be great to fly with you Fuze!

They must be carrying a lot more ammo then we can.  I with we could keep up sustained fire like that.

The Arabian Knights rotate countries every month. On Friday mornings I switch to Knights to fly with these dedicated bomber guys. It’s a good time when you can clobber a squaddie. After the run I return to the appropriate country. July the AKs will be Knights so hoping for my squad mates to be escorts and fellow bombers. Riftval is growing and happy to be in the group.

Just a recommended guideline for nights where 6+ P-47 Thunderbolts (captured by the Germans) are hanging out waiting for us at 25k 50 miles short of the IP (making us the ultimate snack food in tight formation at 19k)  :



Just a recommendation.

Bombers are there to protect the escorts.
