13.  I guess with the oxygen supplies replaced by a blender, you simply can't reach their usual cruise altitudes anymore  :old:

By the way, you also have 11 kills in B-29s yourself

I have recollections of being part of this 400 club and you in a Mossie. I recall it because I had been practicing some B-29 stuff in the TA and loaded up 25% fuel and only noticing as I approached the target which was either a HQ or City.

Then again...... it may have been a nightmare or bad dream I had.

Then again my coconut and swiss cheese have many things in common.  :old:

Rare?  Flown by pilots who are not beginners?  Well, yeah.  I don't know how many perk points you have to earn to launch a B29, but it's a LOT more than I have.  Still, congrats on your tenaciousness.  Another 100 isn't out of reach, especially if I get enough points to start launching B29s.  See, there's a silver lining to every cloud.

Rock on!

I think once i lost like 20 b29's in 2 hours betting my squadies that I would shot down more of them.  then again there was a fire sale on b29's that afternoon.  we had a great time.

OzKansas.... Now that is a name I haven't seen used in a very long time! That was an old  name I used long ago. Can't remember if I was flying 2 sets or if that was pre 2016 but either way big  :salute on the milestone

It was sorties like that one and many more of yours that forced me to up my gunner and strategy game over the years.

Actually, I messed up the names. It wasn't OzKansas, it was TAGMA those missions happened on.

It could be the weight of Triple-sec and Cuervo in the DTs...... along with modified blender of course.  :D That dang ice machine too.


Then there are the times deep into the night when I am shooting at a whole flight of bombers that turns out to be one bomber. Again margaritas  :D

You won't believe how long it took me to get my Tiger II to 30K  :old:


The true story has no glamour, though: Someone with too many buff perks flew low enough to get killed by town ack. Those two kills are just proxies.

Spikes, I really appreciate your input and participation in AH, but allow me to say, I was scrolling through this thread and my lovely and gracious wife, Connie walked through. 

"Who is that?"

"Uh, that's Spikes.  I'm not sure who he is.  He's a biggie, though."

"That's not what it looks like to me."

"Uh....  yeah.  I love you, too, sweetie."

So, you make my life a challenge from time to time and I thought you should know.  <Salute>
Rule #1 Don't sweat the small stuff
Rule #2 It's all small stuff.
Rule #3 What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.  Except redheads, they just kill you.
