S3 Series

~S~ All,

First of all humble apologies for showing up late, and the shoddy comms. Señor Gums did as good a job as he could but "Where are the buffs?" is a really a difficult question to answer with 2 bombers ahead of the pack (-gums- & gundoc) one following somewhere behind (sorry again late..) and yet another (goflyj) further behind (due to disco early on.)

Well all in all we rolled towards the field discussing targets on our way.. Nn my initial run I took out one of the invisible PAs but the other one remained standing.
gundoc was next and pretty much took all of the north side sans the fuel dumps an excellent drop. Gums got a couple of the ACK and a house. On the reversal I took out the fuels and another PA.

Just about then we saw the Radar EM and Station go down. Must have been the NS. Great job gents. We did have goflyj otw. to take these out but appreciate the early demise of them.

Just as I was complaining about the only remaining invisible PA seems Jabo heard it and dropped a nuke on the field! It was closed.

gundoc, goflyj and I all had bombs remaining. We dropped on 215. We managed to get 2 of the Mline objects and some ack and a hut but 215 had way too many assets to close down.

Return home was uneventful and we all landed safely.

I regret being late and in this case an extra 10 minutes would have taken us on a second sortie to F1 as beaver would have liked us to. Unfortunately that was not to be and we stood down as requested.

Thanks to Beaver for COing the frame, the 23rd and RCAF for direct support, the 4th, the 100th and 475th thanks to you guys for keeping the enemy well north of us.

Being small in numbers cannot promise next frame we will have better numbers or we all be on time.. But I for sure will try my very best to be.

AE'S/ 100th.. was close escorts to the 2 buffs..and 1/2 of us was hvy..As soon as they made their first pass. ..we drop alt..N commented to dropping our ord..N staffing ...I called a clear tgt area. when I seen buffs making a Second attack on base...When tgt's. On second pass went down we started staffing again...was a shock to us when the nuke went off....I called egress heading and we rtb'd..

I personally at first was a Lil upset with the late roll...but I soon got over it..because from the beginning I was concerned with the buffs going to 20K..and a P-40..is a real pig at grabbing alt..esp..When half of us was hvy....
The delayed take off allowed us to be at a ample alt for coverage. ..

All N all It was actually a fun night for us..N we got our P-40 ride out of the way..

I'm not worried N know some times shit happens...so AE'S /100th are OK and understands
we would be always happy to escort u guys any time any where... (S)

~S~ Besea appreciate your support and understanding. Sorry for the miscommunicated role. I remember now you guys calling clear target area.

Besea did you use the P40F? How was it compared to the P40E?
