Oh hey that’s sharp. Don’t usually fly those but that makes me want to.
Back after a loooooong break. Old name Ratpak1 (BBS was Ratpack1)

Squad I did the most tours with were The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Thanks guys.   I noticed a few things I need to fix but I'll submit soon.

I keep looking back at that head-on shot.  Quite a perspective, and really shows off the quality of AH's 3D model of the Lightning.  The P-38 is an imposing aircraft, and head on, looking right into those gun barrels, is a little intimidating...
