Well

That was a long day. It was frustrating, exciting, panic inducing, boring, maddening, satisfying all rolled into a 12 hour roller coaster.

Thank you to all who played

Thank you to the CMs for setting it up so we can waste, I mean spend a Saturday flying in the cartoon world.

Thank you to those who stepped up and took on a leadership role.

 :salute

See you in the next one

Well... ditto. Could not have said it any better. Too bad that axis seemed undermanned, could have used more numbers in my squad as well. B-25H had 1-2 in flight, but I guess I could have made a bigger effort in recruiting. The aircraft for me was perfect, but flying very similar missions for 12 hours did become a bit mundane, although these did bring few moments I could not have experienced otherwise, like meeting those 110s in their raid towards the end. For me it was exiting that not all routes were tested (to my knowledge) before the event, so did not know if there was enough terrain to actually clear land and stay under 1000ft etc.

 :salute to everyone and a special thanks to my B-25H companions, you low flying, heavy hitting bunker busters and ship destroyers of the Philippines.

I had a great time for the last 6 Hrs of spreading 38 parts all over the Place in fact I ran out of Duct Tape. The final Run for the night I jumped over to help the Buffs out since we were shy and Managed to drop a hanger and was shocked....... JeffN lol you had my number for that buff run,,, was hard to gun since my Frame Rates kept dropping during the intense fight.

<S> To everyone who made the Event

 :rofl

I think you got me once

It was a long day

But not nearly as chaotic as the BOB 12 hour was. Or the Target for Today 12 hour.

Dealing with 30 guys versus 150 was a lot easier, but would of like to have 150
