Good call Odee.  There are two 1945 4th Mustang skins, one for the B/C and one for the D.  Would make it fun to mix the two in a group if for no other reason than the screen shots'  I'd fly a 4th B/C for that :)

You know..... if you grab a pony then I guess I will too. We have to protect Flossy.

Actually, the units are from the 15th, crossing the Alps from the south.

Oh sure!  Ruin a perfectly good plan  :)

Check that 38 ride.  With 262s about, I'd rather have a 51.  Dibs on the 52nd FG as they have two 51D Skins and one B skin that would work :)

I'm working on perfecting my Gregory Peck persona. Not easy to do when you're shorter, fatter and your voice is an octave too high. Steve McQueen and Jimmy Stewart is no easier.  :cheers:

Yeah, but both Peck and Stewart talk funny.  :devil

At least Steve McQueen talks like a real person.

Since the only A-8's I've done so far are from Jg 26 and Jg 54, neither would be used here. Jg 301 would be the best bet for this scenario.

I am told that May 11th is Mother's Day weekend.

As a result, we are moving Bavaria 1945 to May 18th.
