don't you mean you'll be hiding in the ack in a different plane?

I can see how this confused you ... you being you and all. Don't you have an MA arena to impress on channel 200 right now or are you not recieving enough attention there? :)

I before E except after C

The avoided answer would apparently be a no in either case. N before O no matter what. :D

Ya know... I can homestly say I don't recall ever seeing Arlo hiding in anyone's AAA, other than bases/fleets we attacked. Which was when he went in to ferret out the Axis cowards hiding there-in. I did see him chasing some badguys through our own AAA, but he was definitely chasing the con, and not the other way around.
Me... I'll run to AAA if the odds are bad, until I can regain the advantage.

It don't pay to give serious attention to Lord StorcHa, anyhoo. He may broadcast from a bunker deep inside MA territory and write his scripts in crayon but his show is sporadic and he scratches the good records. He saw a thread he just couldn't resist. :)

Skins look nice mate, I'd love to be able to do that. You even matched serial numbers to the plane markings (Little Chief). Since we're in the BoB, I was curious enough to look up the 56th fighter group and I read that it was activated on 15 January, 1941 as the 56th Pursuit group (interceptor) with the 61st, 62nd, and 63rd pursuit squadrons. It was, according to what I read, redesignated as the 56th FG in May 1942 and received P47B's in June. It also mentioned squad colors 61st (red) 62nd (yellow) 63rd (lt blue) looking at the skins I started to wonder if they have incorrect coloring for the 62nd and 63rd.
Although I like the 190A5, it too is notably absent for the LW order of Battle. I guess this will have to be the alternate history of the Bob LOL. Maybe we can convince Reichsmarschall Goring to keep the JG's in France and delay Operation Barbarossa for a few years. Oh well, it shall be fun seeing the 56th in the air.
This link shows a paint scheme for the 63rd from later on in the war. It's serial # 42-26057 (UN-W[underlined]) a P47-D without the bubble top canopy lost 18SEP44

Also it would be neat to see the Louisiana Pirate (42-75109) cowl art flying.

Nomde did the skins. My fave is the first one (and that'll be the squadron actually being portrayed by VF-17). Afterall, with three nice skins to pick from, hogging the entire group wasn't fair. Not like the four nice skins to pick from for VF-17. ;)
I notice I'm looking the wrong way, again. :confused:
