S3 Series

I read the orders wrong and almost launched my squad from the wrong base That put me behind the 8 ball on the intial attack on TAC 36. JG 51 got there a little before us and got ord on target NOE. JG 77 came in at 10k and meet P51s at that alt. My 3 ship formation dropped on the bridge and escaped to F53. I lost Mcpot in the escape. I did take out 1 spit on the ground. Zikker and Zinhwk scouted for bombers over the channel until tanks ran dry.

2nd sortie my -2 had to log mid flight leaving me a single. I tryed to get BDA on bridge at 36 and was greeted by 6 P51s from the 23rd. I pressed west to look for bombers until 2 of the 6 mustangs got to close and I had to fight. Forced an overshoot and took a rudder on one. The second took my wing and forced a bail.
Zikker and Zinhwk upped again to help strip escorts. They were jumped by 352 as they reached for alt; lost zinhwk to vulche is some terrible PK lag shot. Dolch was jumped on the RTB by 352 and was downed.

6 Pilots (Looby, Zinhwk, Zikker, Dolch,-Jr---, Mcpot-)

I gotta thank Dolch, he cleared me a couple times as I was maneuvering for a shot on the B24s. <S>s

Looboy,

Salute and still you all did a great job! WTG!!!!

Here is Gold (JG51) Flight's AAR for LF6:

Rolled at T+0 to head out west to drop on the bridge at TAC-36. We were all NOE and D-fused so that we could get in and get out undetected. We made numerous hits on the bridge but unfortunately one of our own followed too closely and was killed by a bomb blast. After we all dropped we climbed backed east to CTY 59 to regroup and then eventually we landed at LAF 56 for fuel.

Sortie 2 with drop tanks we climbed and circled the area of LAF 56 and LAF 70 as a bomber attack was inbound. Our GCI got us on a heading to the group and from there it was on. We got one decent pass on the bombers but were quickly engaged by the escorts and lost several in the fight.
