The Knights have been running MA missions for over a month now! Last week we shook things up with an SBD run on a BB. This week we will be going back to our good old high altitude strat run. The mission will be on Friday 05-15-20 in the main arena. Targets will be announced at 1930 here on the BB. The strat run target alt will be 22,000ft (during the last strat run we had to pull out our space suits). This week we will be flying lower to encourage some more interceptors to give chase. It is really neat to see we are starting to form a core group of bomber pilots who have been flying weekly together. We are looking to add a few little friends to the group as escorts - if you are interested you can walk on or hit me up in game or here on the BB. We start the mission briefing at 2000 US EST - if you want to fly with the main body of the formation please try to attend, things run a lot smoother when we all up at the same time. Relevant information will be posted below.
Notice: If any Fighter Squadrons would like to fly escort for the Bombers (Knights) please PM me on the BB or in game and let me know you want in on the fun. Even if only a single squad is willing to escort - the chances of the bombers making it to the target sky rockets.
--Mission Start Times-- Mission Start Time 2000 EST (Mission #2 will not be running this Friday)
--Mission Info-- Country: Knights Ch. 177 Air Frame: B17G Ordnance: x12 500lb bombs Fuel: TBD Target: TBD Formations: ON
If you have any questions hit me up with a PM on the forms or in game.

If you are a regular and would like to be added to the expected weekly roster let me know!
PS:
Mass missions like this are what what make Aces High so unique and keep me paying my monthly tribute to Hitech. If we can keep growing out missions (of any kind) to something of an "dude this looks crazy!" scale we might just rope on a few more people. I personally sit on the fence, but as stated above the potential scale of combat is unrivaled and keeps me on the hook. <S>FBTrev95/Riftval

Above is a 2min clip of me dive bombing on a destroyer, then Trev diving on one. We got both. WARNING: my room mate is doing laundry in the first 10 seconds or so so you might need to go forward 10 seconds or so.

Svaalbar that was awesome, I always enjoy seeing fights from others perspectives - very nice dive by the way.
