Thanks to all of you who came to CT tonight. I'll learn how to fly that 109 yet, then I'll have to figure out the 190. Someday, I might even get to where I am a useful wingman. I enjoyed flying against the P-47s, really a refreshing change from all the Spitfires. I hope to find the numbers in favor of the axis one night so I can get some time as an allied fighter now that the USAAF has arrived. But I will go wherever the numbers are lowest whenever I arrive, which has been almost exclusively axis since I got my paid subscription a couple of weeks ago.

Once again, <S> to all who fly CT!

I tried to get in.  Was in and as soon as I picked a plane I got booted.  Haven't been able to get in the pay arenas at all!   :(

Was great fun Funked, always a pleasure to escort buffs or sweep a place.
Congrat to the 2 Spits who tight escorted the buffs and stayed with them.

MarkAt, Eddiek, Ammo and me flew the Sweep, in 2 elements.
We scored 9 kills for the loss of one of us, good day for the 56th  :)
Ammo and me had some fun RTB at A40, funked needed to test those flyby sounds. Funked, I forgot to tell you... did you had a new air cut? You look different  ;)

<S> to LW, allies, great fun.
... and for my first time, I came back without a scratch!!!! Ammo was proud of me, I'm the chanpion for bringing back messed up Bolts.

To be fair to the LW, I was 3 of those 9 kills  :p, two G2s with gondolas that died quickly looking for bombers but finding the 56th instead, and one clean 109F4 that lasted considerably longer in an extended tnb/bnz fight. That was a ton of fun, thanks for the acm ammo and ? who was the other P-47 in that fight?

It was Frenchy :) streak man you put up a heck of a fight! We were 2 and that made the difference. But man I really enjoyed ole funked's mission. Count on me to be there on Thursdays for the 308's squad time.

Thx streak, 308th polish, and the rest of the LW and Allies for a great time last night.
