Your post gave me a chuckle Vulcan.  :aok

I think my reply was a little lack luster because I had just finished dealing with some other FSO unpleasantries behind the scenes. The joys of players who can't mind their manners. ;)

That is an amazing sortie by red959 Tuk. Five IL2's and an I16 in a Brewster. Wow.

And by the time you encountered them did your entire squad have no ailerons?

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Sax that many D3A1's would be scary especially if you got saddled by one cause its only a matter of time before the rest hop on then then nibble you to death with their TWO 30 CAL mg's!!

Actually, it WAS scary. Especially when you consider there were only ten of US.
