One of Those Nights
« on: March 29, 2005, 12:30:59 PM »
Couldn’t hit the broad side of barn…
Had no feel for the ground, until I hit it…
Continually forgot to release drop tanks…
Continually forgot to adjust internal fuel setting, when I remembered to drop the external tanks it made little difference, I had 100% fuel…
The two aircraft I shot down, I ran into…

I had one good 2v1 fight that I should have taken.  They didn’t fly very well as wingmen but it made no difference anyhow, they got the kill.

The only good thing happened last night… The rerun of Battlestar Galactica was on that I missed out on Friday.

I have off nights but damn, I wished I hadn’t of logged on at all last night.

Oh yeah, and perk the LA7…

Last night yucca and I upped P-40E's.  Got up to about 5k before engaging the horde.  We were greatly outnumbered and wondered why I kept getting into spins with every manuever I tried.  Finally got behind a niki not paying attention and got him.  Next thing I know the horde descends and I try to evade, of course throwing me into a spin.  Which also spoiled a few gun solutions on me.:D  Yucca even said over vox that he'd written me off for dead.  When I recovered from THAT spin I finally jettisoned the the drop tank.:lol
First time a dt ever saved me. Drop Tank
