Sometimes things just go right
« on: October 16, 2003, 09:50:11 PM »
So I was up buff hunting somewhere NW of A52 and had been watching dar closely.  A huge Bish darbar was filling the sector west of me.  All of a sudden the whole things shifts down a sector, and I knew something was up.

Sure enough, about 10 minutes later way out west of A52 comes this huge formation of dots.  I was amazed to see 20+ Hurris and Mossies, and I was in great position to bounce.  One of the greatest sorties I've ever had in the year I've been playing!

Perfectly at home doing 550 in the jug

Got 5 before the bulk of the horde sailed East to 52

Flying through that formation was like a scene from Return of the Jedi:D

After I landed I upped again and wtf did I see?  A Rook 20+ JABO Niki raid at 20K.  I shadowed them for a few minutes and turned out they were heading for A12 and Bish country.:D   Very weird to see...

Your just lucky I bounced the rook hoard heading south (bagged 4 and another augered and the goon landed). I was above those fellows in my Tempest just before you got that shot.

IM sry to say but if this was the raid that attacked the knights it was...in my opinion...a poor one.

I upped a HUrracane when i was told....bagged me 4 (got a film) then i look around the base they were hitting and all of them are dead.....so landed and went to join my squadmates in another base. Was fun for i got 4 kills...but i think it was a poor attack
