Title: Tuesday 7th at 2130 Eastern
Post by: Miska on April 07, 2003, 07:01:54 AM
880 will provide the bombers this week.  I'll look into the setup tonight and decide on our aircraft/loadout/target/flight plan.  You're all very welcome to fly along, escort or intercept.

isnt tuesday the 8th?  

9:30 sounds great to me. (est)

Escort will have to be p40bs (yeah!) cause nothing else will keep up with the boston.

Will probably be no intercept of A20's because we can't catch them.

Very true, very true.  

Miska, how would you like to switch sides for this?  I would love to help in a val mission of massive proportions.  I am sure there will be enough allied to go against us.  Kind of  a mini pearl harbor?

I really dont think the zeros will be able to intercept us.  Here is the speed chart:

The 13th may sponsor a Bomber Mission for Tuesday.  I'm talking to Key about the logistics.  Will probably be unescorted Ki67's or escorted Ju88's.

Ewww!!!!!

I would rather do it with vals.  Ju88s just dont seem right in here.  Kis wont be intercepted either....

If I'm around, I'll definitely fly a Val in the mission.  I won't be around until 10pm ET though.  No biggie though, I can catch up.  ;)

keya lets try to plan on that.  I would love to see a kate val run with zeros.  I am going to try to get the vf behind this too as axis.  I dont think anybody but tzr has any great love for any plane on the allied side this time.  


I think if we have  a 20 pilot axis advantage and we are in vals and kates with a few zeke escorts it will be fun for everybody.  Truely have to approach this as a 'divine wind' of course.

Can we do this at ten or are you limited to 930 miska?

Just use those Ki bombers ... they generally can't be touched. I've wondered, at times, why there hasn't been a "clean sweep" of this map by the Japanese yet. ;)

hehe 2200 then....

The object is not to avoid all contact....  thus the ki is boring.  I am scared of those beasts in an f4u.

Ya, I said 2130 eastern because that is 880's usual squad time.  But we can spend a bit setting up and actually take off at 10.  Kates and vals sounds good.  I LOVE dive bombing.  880 in Vals!  They're going to love me.  I'll be the most popular guy in the squadron :D

Would Mr. Popularity please report to the bridge. I think the skipper has some taters with your name on them. :D

Key and Miska, you guys can count on the VF27 to join in we can fly whatever is needed, im going to send out an e-mail to the squad now so everyone should know, maybe all the COs or S-3s of 880, 13th JG-3 and VF27 can get together earlier and get things going. Might even leave from diff bases or cvs. Will leave it up to Key and Miska to make decision on what squads will fly, just let myself or erg know what you want us to do.
