Title: Lancers and Mongrels Joint Squad Night
Post by: Baumer on January 04, 2010, 10:07:49 AM

Last night the 68th Lighting Lancers and the 332nd Flying Mongrels held a joint squad night mission in Late War Orange. It was a medium altitude (15,000 feet) medium bomber run to the Rook fuel refinery, just to ensure plenty of action. The Mongrels flew B-26B's and the Lancers flew P-51B's, here are a few screen shots, <S> and thank you to the Lancers for such fun night and a great escort to the target.

Bombers formed up and level at 15,000 feet.

First engagement with the enemy was about 15 minutes out from target.

BDA shows 95% of bombs dropped hit the target!

Was a great night for all, the Mongrels had a bast!   :salute  to the 68th Lighting Lancers, looking forward to the next joint squad night.

<S> Baumer , It was a blast, we had 4 fighter wings of 4 planes in each wing, Falcon was leading our wing and we had fun engaging the 109's and spits with our P51B's (wish we could of got the P51D's darn Eny ) when you do big squad missions like this it really brings realism to the game. We had a blast and like to do this with any squads that want to have a fun time.

It was a lot of fun, and I thought it added a sense of realism, much like an FSO.
 :salute to the Mongrels for asking us to work with you fine gentlemen.
