<best read in a Steve Irwin mindset>
The wounded wildcat spots a herd of gazelles passing a short distance away.
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image1-1.jpg)
Seeing the already wounded and struggling individual, he singles him out from the herd.
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image2.jpg)
He charges...
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image3-1.jpg)
A quick kill!
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image4-1.jpg)
What's this... another cripple...
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image5-1.jpg)
Obviously unsatisfied, the cat pounces again
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image6-1.jpg)
and rips into another victim
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image7-1.jpg)
another kill!
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image9-1.jpg)
At this point, the fleeing gazelles are no longer fleeing, they turn to fight back.
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image10-1.jpg)
The wildcat learns that perhaps he bit off a little bit more than he could chew attacking this herd.
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn46/SK_Alpo/Guadalcanal%20-%20Frame%203/Image12-1.jpg)
However, this fatal lesson is not fully appreciated until a third victim is dealt a lethal blow.

Unfortunately, my death preempted Infidelz's barbeque :D
Great FSO everyone :salute

Well done, Alpo. :aok
VMF-251's Airacobras feasted on unescorted Vals and and Kates north of A1 when we upped after the naval action. Brought down a total of 16 bombers, with 2 A6Ms added to the tally by Hammerr late in the frame. After a lucky hit from a Kate's rear gunner I spent the entire frame flying with a hole in my left fuel tank so big Rosie O'Donnell's butt couldn't plug it (to put it into perspective: I rearmed once and the tank was empty almost right as I got off the runway!)

I love nature shows, nice pics. ;)
-
Nice pics. :aok

Cool Picture show!

lol Squire.
Enjoyed your AAR Alpo. ;)
Mongrels were slotted to escort the AK's from A1 to A10. 50% in P-39's heavy, and 50% in the F4F. About 1/2 way there one of our P-39's flights had to break off and engage some A6M2's. Before we arrived at A10 all the P-398's had to drop their bombs in the water. The F4F's called an all clear and the AK's dropped on A10. The P39's dove and began to straff. After just one pass some Zekes came in and spoiled our fun. I think it was the Jokers Jokers squad. Joker2 bagged 8 Kills! WTG! Spite in his squad got me. :)
Here is one screen shot I have. Just lit up this A6M2 clearing a squadies 6. Was amazed he did not blow. Moments later he caught fire. His buddy was behind me and my AC was pepperd with holes. I had a few myself. I bailed less than a minute later.

This was my first kill I have successfully landed in FSO in quite some time. I missed Frame 2 this FSO, but Both Frame 1 and 3 I landed successfully. Had a great time! Great Setup! <S> GD.

The End

Apologies to Seano for the fight over A1. Your pass was perfect as we were trying to egress out of the area. You caught me from slightly below, and I never saw you coming. Your pass ruptured both my wing tanks, causing me to lose all my fuel in less than a minute. Scared the hell outta me too. Thought I was dead. But you didn't finish me off :huh. Ended up deadsticking it almost a sector and a half and landed successfully at A37. It was pucker factor the entire way. :pray Actually made the frame very memorable. From the logs, i see your night was a good one. You made mine interesting too! :salute

Wtg on on the landing. :aok
As I get very few kills in FSO and past scenario's, you would think they would be my most memorable.
Well they're not. Bringing home a wounded bird or just fullfilling the orders like last Friday's
escort of the AK's are. MA is just something to do until Friday Squad Operations.

After a lucky hit from a Kate's rear gunner I spent the entire frame flying with a hole in my left fuel tank so big Rosie O'Donnell's butt couldn't plug it
THAT was a BIG hole!!! :rofl :rofl :rofl Sure one of the Cruisers wasn't "Capping" at you?
The Japanese must have succeeded in mounting a "Hazooka" or at least a Potato Gun in the back of the Kate's.
Great pic of your kill Daddog - need to frame that and put it on the wall.
:salute

When will frame 3 score be posted?
-
I second Kermit's question. Also i don't recall seeing scores from either of the first 2 frames. I'm awaiting these with much interests as I landed 2 out of 3 frames :D
Regards FBClaw

Don't you mean "bump"??
I wouldn't be typing "hump" in the same thread that mentions Rosie O'Donnell's buttocks...

I remember in Frame 1 of FSO, I had gone to re-fuel, completely seperated from my squad and our little group defending Henderson. (about 12 P-400s) and on our first previous engagement, we lost about 7 of them (so now it's 5 of us including me) and its up to us to defend henderson. A group of about 15 or 16 A6M2s come in at about 5k while they are finishing re-arming. They're jumped, one is vulched on the runway, so it's all of the 880, and the CO from the other squad. I show up at about 10k, and start picking. I get kills #3 and #4 there, and I'm low and slow, I start to run. Thinking oh lord, I cant land all of my kills...
Then out of nowhere, Shreck and his group of F4F wildcats come in and clean it up! Just when we thought it was over for us 4 P-39D/P-400s about 10 other Wildcats save the day. :aok Not a single A6M got away. :O
