the frustration you have
I didn't know I was frustrated til this last post!
I just reread every word I posted here. Firstly, thanks for your help, but I wasn't actually seeking help. I was looking for nothing but to start toward a solution, to help you guys avoid a repeat on a grander scale in future events. That would cause greater angst, I am certain. My guys have been round long enough that they take it all with a grain of salt. I didn't expect, invite or want a flame war or to be patronisingly dismissed.
The problem exists. It will exist on Friday. I have seen nothing here that indicates to me that it won't. At least you are now alerted to it.
As for the advice on how to fly taxi etc.. thanks but no thanks. I already know how to avoid it. I didn't crash last week. I rearmed and took again to the sky. Maybe the problem won't occur again. It hurt us only because we were good enough to survive being bounced by 109s and 190s and then rtb to rearm. The two guys on their noses had finished rearming and were just taking a NORMAL turn back to the runway like I am sure you guys all did. We fly the Il2 a lot. We rearm it just about never. That's why we were surprised. I know that if we are issued Il2's again we will be well on top of it. This offers not a fig to solve your problem, if there is one. The other guys out there on Friday will let you know if it is a problem or not.
