I just started the 434th Troop Carrier Group. If you are a full time C47 driver and your looking for a home this is it.

to the 434th just kicking off here in AH. I don't think that there has ever been just a troop carrier squadron so this is a little weird. GL to you and if you ever need a fighter squadron to cover for ya give Fighting 17 a call and we will come running.

! Best of Luck!

Rgr that thanx.  We have been doing pretty good. The logistics of it are outstanding. We can run troops in one C47 and follow up with a back up. Meanwhile have two C47s loaded with AF supplys and one with GV supplys, all moving into a taget area. This cuts the downtime of an airfeild we just took by half. Really what we need is a full time P51 fighter squad that would stay wing to wing with us while we fly. That would allow us to cut down time 10 fold.

Hehe .... I didn't think Goons could fly that high and fast. Of course, some of us in VF-17 are crazy enough to oblige you by staying low in our `sairs but we'd prolly circle yas. Ya want a nice close escort that can fly your speed without flinchin? Zekes. Check 13th Sentai.

Or maybe a Spittie outfit.

Rgr that, I can get the C47 up to about 220-230.  I know a few tricks to get just alittle bit more speed out of the old bird. I also dont fly mine low to the ground. I stay up about seven thousand. Alot of ppl think C47s should stay low... I think diffrently. I think some of the knits and bishes are finding out I am not an easy goon kill.
 More than once I have out flew a ME109, 110, and Typh. I have found you have to fly diffrent for each plane. With the 109 and 110 you need to slow down and slowly climb, and turn. Just when the 109 or 110 gets behind you about 1.1k out off your 4 Oclock, turn hard into it. Your wings will creak, but you should be slow enough the old bird should hold together. once the 109 over shoots, level out and go into a shallow dive to gain some speed. Then start over agin turining the other way this time.

 As for the typh, I found it best to just turn into it. Run head long into it. Gain alittle alt, this should make the typh under shoot, and miss you. Once it has flown by you, I go into a shallow low yo yo, and turn back. Do a fast loop and head back at it. Keep doing this varying your speed and alt. You will get killed if a fighter doesnt get there with in around 5 mins, but you also wont let that typh pilot think he is geting an "easy goon kill"

You do realize that ground vehicle supplies are only to resupply/repair ground vehicles that are damaged and/or out of ammo and won't resupply the vehicle hanger.

I am a rook, but I would never drop them that high, I like to land them if it is possable... I can also tell you none of my pilots would drop that high. We always drop the combat min.

 Yes AK I do know that. I just miss stated myself.
