Interceptor
modification :x
This seems like its gonna be a good scenario. I hope the turn out is great. BTW I hope i can make it if not busy with work. :saluteit runs from 12am EST to midnight EST ... if you can't make those times, well :headscratch:
VF-17 will be well-represented, also. Most flying fighters, but Wildcat1 will also be representin in BUFFs. We're reeel proud of him, as he's the only one of us who can bomb worth a damn.
Coffee...check
Beer....check
I'm ready for the marathon.
Pace ... your ... selves. ;)
Dang Wiley. That's 72 beers! Good lord, I'd be so schnockered I wouldn't be able to take off!
Half way through, Antwerp under heavy attack!After last month's FSO you oughta have defense of there wired!
Waystin2, Syko,ra,Razor,Bones127 have been on since 12 am...7.5 hours already...come on luftweenie pilets
Absolutely insane guys.
<S> to Roc and Nef for putting this together.
What a blast! Don't you actually feel sorry for those who missed this? I do.
That last buff mission to Paris, I'm in my trusty A5, Axis has made several slashing attacks on the buffs and we've taken some out, but our numbers are dwindling. You escorts did really good and pushed me away to the south, so I flew out in front of the buffs for ONE MORE PASS. As I spot the buffs and check my clipboard map, yes, I am the last one left, the sole attacker in a sea of red. I got decent hits on a few buffs as........the entire Allied fighter group drops in..........hehehehehe. Thank goodness for the roll rate of the 190A5, a beautiful bird if there ever was one. I end up on the deck, flying through the trees trying to shake a P47 who is just 400 off my 6, and he's getting hits. I'm screaming like a girl as I near my base and the guys in guns open up on him, he gets another hard hit and kills my engine. One last snap roll gets him out of position, I cross control that mutha like never before, scrubbing all the speed I can, gear down, bouncing along the grass..............coasting, coasting (Where's that P47?) and..........come..........to ..............a...........sto p...........in........the.... ............HANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WooooooHooooooooooooooooooooo oooooo what a rush!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There has never been a better day of flying in Aces High. We must do this again.
12 hours of flying. 12 hours of strategy. 12 hours of staying with your squaddies and flying against impossible odds and just pushing, pushing, and pushing.
13 kills for me, more than enough.
:salute Thank you all very much.

was crazy fun...12 kills for me...... not to bad considering how well the Allies were flying......
I honestly was impressed over and over at how well the Allies kept there E and did what was needed....
So....questions: Did the Luftwaffe notice the various confusion tactics we used or was everything so confusing anyway that it was all lost in the maelstrom?
I remember that Wiley. It was an epic defense of Bortas after he turned from Paris. Myself and Pollock1 (with me the whole 12 hours) decided we were going to get at least one formation of heavies home. You guys were slick and almost pulled us apart. At one point, I thought you guys had given up and was headed home as fuel was getting critical. We failed to get that group home. Evidently he discoed and was heading over the channel in a direction we just could follow ow our tanks would run dry. Last I saw him he had 2 or 3 German planes finally closing on him and there was nothing we could do.
Ahh. When I last saw you guys, I thought we'd all pulled off, but perhaps it was just me and a couple others. The set of 17s 4.5k behind was a much easier target. Doesn't surprise me at all that some of us were more persistent and stuck with them.It was epic. I had a great time.
Definitely the most fun I've ever had in a Scenario.
Wiley.
