Think of it like this, you'll have more than enough kills if you don't find him. Then... I'll swoop down and kill ya

Might give this a try in a P-51. Despite the numbers, I still can't seem to find a good fight on Tuesdays, maybe this will be fun.

Yay! I get to fly a pony for the mission

[Treize69]

Yay! I get to fly with Bosco for the mission 

(assuming I can get a P-51)

(don't mean this to sound negative towards the leaders)

But, I don't really think that it's up to them whether you fly what you want or not. I'm taking the Jug, as it's always a better plane at high alts. Last time I did one of Talen's MoMs, we were in 47D25s, and we pretty much whuped and outflew the 51Ds in air-to-air combat.

I never really got the hang of the P-47, aside from picking in it. I like the Mustang though- the B is my favorite, but the D works too. I just don't usually fly it because its like showing up to the prom in the same tux as every other guy in the room.

So I usually dress as an onion.

This Mission will actually be better, I hope. It is well planed out, and im sure it will go smoothly.

Oh and if all the slots for the 51's get full, ill just expand it. No worries.

Just curious about the historical choice of having the 40th Bomb Group flying the B-17 in this event.  Was it just a random choice?
 
The 40th (which included the 25th Bomb Squadron, my father's outfit) did fly the B-17 briefly over the Panama Canal Zone on sub-patrol operations.  However, the 40th BG was best known for flying the the brand new B-29 over the Hump in the CBI and off Tinian in the Pacific theatre.  To my knowledge, this was the only aircraft they flew in overseas theatres.

well the b29 isnt in the game and b17 are in the same type of air plane and made by the same manufacturer

Our 47's were out turning and out running the 51s at that alt IIRC. I never went under 300 at 25k+

[haasehole]

[GREric]

Yes its gonna be great. Just hope it wont be to laggy.
