94%:D While under heavy 262 and 163 attack, not bad in my book. Thank you little friends.

Yeah, a big S! to the 348th FG and 880 Sqn FAA who both did a great job keeping the bandits at bay.  One of them (in all the confusion I missed who), even got hits on an Me 262 taking out one of his engines.

I think some of the escorts may have been having oxygen problems though! ;)

Was an AWESOME run !!:aok

As usual with you guys :aok

This was I think the largest single formation I have flown in with you guys. Was a blast. So many over the target that when we dropped I had a 10+ second lag spike. :O

When I came out of it the target was a smoking ruin as viewed through my ball turret. :aok

We had a lot of interceptors flying 262's and 163's. Man what a run for the money that was. Was pretty intense action. Thanks to our awesome escort most of us survived to the target. Very fun. :aok

I got plastered by 163's over the target and just after the bomb run so I dont know how many RTB's we had. At any rate was another white knuckler fun packed run as is usual with you all. :aok

Thanks for letting all of us tag along. Always a fun run. :aok

Later,
KayBay

Which country do you fly with? This looks like a blast. Is it every Sunday or just when you post?

Zippy,
Check out this web site

http://www.78th.org/harm.htm


These guys put together missions all the time. They have regular scheduled stuff on the weekends. Anybody from any country is welcome to fly with them. They fly different countries and different arenas depending on who the underdog is at the time.

IMHO these guys are a great bunch of players. Their missions are always fun. You can fly bomber, escort or intercept. Which ever your prefer. The point is to have fun. :cool:

I am not in their squad but I fly with them almost as much as I do with my own squad.

Check it out, you will be glad you did.


Later,
KayBay

Zippy,
The organizers of the HARM missions always say "Everybody's Welcome". I think it would be a lof of fun. Probably a good idea to check in with the event leaders for force allocation for the mission.

From my experience the more players participating the more fun these missions are. :aok

Hope to see you and your squad there. :cool:

The more squads, the better. If anything this will get everyone ready for CT.
