Sunday I posted my first mission since Mindnao was in regular rotation. That was the infamous B-17's launching from the hangers mission in which almost everyone crashed on take-off. :D
I've always kind of wanted to start a Spit specialty squad and after watching some Spit videos here on the BBs I was even more inclined to see a lot of Spits flying together.
On Sunday I launched a mission with 30 spots open for Spit IX's. Full fuel, drop tanks, no ord to fly a fighter sweep of a Bish base that had been under heavy Rook attack for quite a while. We took off with 26-28 Spit IX's. What a sight to behlod.
While the original plan was to clear our base then go kill guys upping at the next Rook base over, someone spotted a CV off-shore and the plan got diverted. the base was largely cleared, the CV went down to Spit IX straffing runs, and I don't think we took a single loss.
Some might call this hoarding but well, it was kind of fun. I might do it again.
:salute to those who tried to oppose us and thanks to everyone who flew along.

Don't apologize for a fighter sweep. Strafing carriers? Nah, but a nice history feel to a Spit fighter sweep :)

I'd prefer Spit VIIIs, more skin variety and more fuel to extend the time you can toy with your victims. :t

I was sitting in the tower watching TV when I heard the commotion of a mission about to start. At first I didnt even take much notice untill someone started playing The village People. And I realised quickly what was happening And knew I had better get out of there. So I with clenched cheeks I took off for a different location just as fast as I could. Figuring nobody would beleive me I hid behind a bush and snapped a few pictures first before putting as much distance between me and them as possible.
Your typical spit drivers headed to the field where the mission is to start
