Thanks Wolf.

Just need some scout volunteers. We have the CAP to start.

Scouts can start from CVs or the land base. Only B25s, TBDs, TBFs or SBDs may scout. B25Cs cannot take off from the carriers and must use the landbase.

All scouts should use the CA login so they can jump from wingman to wingman and have a better chance of surviving this dangerous duty.

Mr. Gums is putting together a scout flight to takeoff at T=0. You are encouraged to contact him just before flight time to select a takeoff point. Currently, he is likely selecting the available seaplane base.


Happy trails...

Sounds good Muskie.
As of now I'll be the only Nomad available at T time Gundoc said he would try and make it but he would be late.
Gums said he would be on the road and unable to fly.

So if its a go then SBDs--which CV and load out.

Last word I had was Gums would not fly--oh well, I'll be on TS and log into WB early to get finalInfo.

Hey Gofly,
you can take the B25 out of the sea base. You could cover the south route out of the IJ box. Me and cool will go to the SE and East of the box. We need 3 more scouts though

I want the SBD because I love flying it, lol. Never get a chance to. I remember doing the scouting thing in a SBD 3~4 years ago. was a blast. Screaming on TS "carrirers! carriers!" as my gunner is reporting "cons D5"... BOOM!!!
