Yeah Zig, amazing how well we work together whe we have only 2 airfields, aint it?

Late last night I flew the 2 most intense C47 missions to date from A4 to A3.

On the first one I got over the field through a big mess due to excellant cover from our fighters and got shot before I could drop.

The fact that I reached the field at all was a victory.

On the second I came in very hot through another mess and again was well covered.

I landed on the field and blew right by the maproom while a very bad spitfire died several times trying to  shoot me, again very good cover.

I hauled her around and taxied up to the bunker and opened the doors, that Spit guy was trying very hard and as I watched our troops going ever so slowly into the bunker he died 3 times trying for them and he got shots off and I think got the last guy because we did not get the field.

It was amazing, we had good fighter cover and the air was full of tracers and that Spitfire driver never gave up.

I was so busy watching the fight that, even though I could have made a run for it, I just sat there for at least 2 minutes and finally got shot by someone.

It was a desperate fight well conducted by all involved

Any fighter guy reading this, THANK YOU!

Good fighting on both sides... a massive raid to 22 by knits.. JG/2 stole a buncha allied P38's and were JABO'ing the hell outta 22 with em.. (25 plane jabo strike!) They ripped it up in grand fashion; knocking out all the hangers and acks, but the bishes mass scrambled from 21 and cut off the reinforcements and intercepted the goons from knit 14, forcing an otherwise textbook attack to wither on the vine.  

During this period; 13 falls to bish, V49 to the knits. Early on it looked to be a murderous evening.. lordy; parts were fallin everywhere.

And that was just the warmup show.. next came the 4 hour mele at 15... Field capture goons and troops destroyed on the field at least 5 times with more than 50 planes in the air overhead; knits attacking from 14 and 4 simultaneously. An intense furball that was a full grid thick. The bish radar had the measles.    .. but capture DENIED.

Finally; along about midnight eastern the knits shifted focus to the rooks.. so we all took a deep breath, patted each other on the back and then promptly ordered a new truckload of knit spray. (aerosol; BPN 3674.757.295-JG/2)

Good fights Knights.. was close indeed. <S!>

(and thanks Udie & Berserker fer the new matched set of 190 bugzappers  )

I logged on after and missed the part where you were Kickin Butt ! Musta been fun! It was downhill from there I guess. When I saw you guys it looked like a toejamsu trying to mount a Great Dane. The thought was there but after four hours of hopping, yepping and spraying at Field 15 the job never got done. Congrates on the earlier victories!.... But don't break your arms pat'n yerselves on the back in the BBS. Ya'll goin ta need um fer yank'n yer stick tonight in the Arena  ! Salute JG2, Crew & others.. you are a most formidable foe! <S>
