Ouch nobody told me I was the ace, I landed gears up trying to rearm - oops.

VMF-222 had the pleasure of running into Top Gun, and after film review I actually had guns on Butcher for just a moment before DrBone took off pieces and I ran like a girl.  Great fight as always men!

S!! It was a pleasure Zoney we certainly had a tough time playing with the bombers, Bone actually gave us orders to knock out the fighter's instead, but the Escort did their job - I got knocked down from 25k to 15k and couldn't recover to chase the buffs again.

I didnt tell you personally Butcher that you were the Ace Pilot, but they were in the orders that I sent. I will be a little more vigilant next time. It was our first time as CiC, things could have gone a little better  Missing an entire squad of defenders certainly doesnt help All in All a fairley positive experience for us A Big <S> to my guys Poppy, Mesen256 and Surfinn for all of the help with planning. Any feedback you Allied guys could give, would be greatly appreciated, be it good or bad. But please be gentle, still hurting from the Bu t Whooping we took.
Thanks to all who participated

Its all good Carver, I'm sorry I got the orders, but wasn't able to read them until friday afternoon and didn't see that part, my mistake on letting the allies down

[cohofly]

Nah it wasnt you Butcher, like I said I should have been more forward with making sure that you and yur guys knew that you were Ace. That is what is so interesting and fun about FSO, you can never plan for all things at all times. <S>

I wanna know who upped the armor on the Yaks. Everyone in Kommando Nowotny had their chance to put rounds in them. Took forever for them to go down.

Also want to relay a  to Arabian Knights for some great flying.

If you were fighting AKs then that would be the AK Armor MOD for FSO.

Awesome AKs!
