Frame 2 Big Show, thx!
« on: February 02, 2002, 12:03:00 AM »
Thx allied CO's (RIP and Mag33, Fatty and the FDB's, AKCurly and the Arabian Knights, 56th Fighter Group and FUNKEDUP, CFIT, from the 308TH, and the 332cd Flying Mongrels)  for a great frame.  I believe we got all the objectives ..and maybe a few eager Typhoon pilots got more than that :eek:

In any case, a well executed plan and  alot of fun.

To the AK's, I am sorry about the escort not working out like I thought it would, but congrats on getting your objective anyway!

Sandman and the LW for a great frame!

Ammo and RAF,

Nice strike in the west. Those Hurricanes really played havoc over there. I was scouting the area looking for you guys and then helping LuftJagerKorps defend while Nightmares VMF-101 were off to the east.

Was really fun and then I made the mistake of trying to TnB with a Hurricane. Before I knew it there were 6 on my tail throwing lead out ... and I could not climb fast enough. Then wham a hit blew my engine and that is all she wrote. Had to dive and had Hurricanes chasing me as I dove with no engine toward A1 .. then wham more hits that took off a wing.

Nice work Hurricane squad.

Ammo; you COd a good frame: the orders were clear, and it was a pleasure flying with you guys.  We trashed the field and suffered minimal losses.
It would have been better if we'd seen an enemy plane, but as it was, I'm content with 9 buildings destroyed. :)
