Just so everyone  knows.....

The group has been redesignated  8th FG 80th FS.

New blenders will be installed in all 38s for this deployment. Let no one go without frozen margaritas.

Never been very good in one of them there bombers, but I may stop in for an hour or two and at least harass Dan.
Maybe the rest of you guys can show me how to properly wreck a 38.

Post by: Guppy35 on December 30, 2018, 01:28:48 AM
I had no idea you were using SAPP landing techniques.  I would suggest a bit more battle damage and a good smoke trail in the future to add some flair to your landings.  Nice 80th markings on your kite though  :)

Remember, you guys can fly L's, so you can do the "shift c" thing to crash slower.

This seems like an Allied propaganda thread.  Axis pilots, get in here.

I see a lot of P-38 players that will be sent down in flames from my Ki-67 gunners positions.   :devil
Title: Re: Target For Today......
Post by: Shuffler on December 30, 2018, 08:13:20 AM
Inverted landings prevent those round appendages from making the plane move too far down the RUNway.... it is not a rollway after all.

Those Japanese BBQ pits are going to be smoke writing the skies in this one.

Post by: Brooke on December 30, 2018, 05:31:00 PM
We Ki-45's are filling up and ready to go destroy allied bunkers and ships!

We need just 4 more Ki-45 pilots to be full.

Banzai!

Just 2 P 38s left and our field of 14 will be full.

This event will be "walk on" friendly so if you can make any of it .... show up on the 26th and see the slots needing to be filled. Should be a really great time.

Those nice new skins will look good falling to the ground as we move to the next superficial threat.  :cheers:

I may go to the indoor range and practice a little with meatball targets tonight. I'll take the XD 45, The Dan Wesson 44 Mag, the Taurus 38 Mag, and the SW 9.

That should get me in the mood.   :devil
