It got quite chaotic behind the bomber stream for a while there, often at times flying formation close to the enemy to my left or right (super SA overload! :uhoh ).  Me and Sik1 were the scouts and it got awfully lonely over all those red guys.

I did see a first this FSO, never saw two guys bail out of a zero before :headscratch:.  <S>Hub and your unfortunate passenger :salute

More fun than I've had in a single frame in a long time.  Pretty much action packed the whole time.   :aok

We had just gotten into the bombsight at this point.  There was that 'watery' feeling as we did so.  Our bombing results were enhanced by our War Lover, AKCaine, who dropped one hanger and turned around to get another.  The rest of the squadron got decent results because the Gunfighters and VF-17 gave the defending force something to look at in their 6 o'clock.

This was as vicious a bomb run as we've had in a while - amazed at the results.

It was great fun as always.

 :salute all
