Salute!
Well, we had 5 folks show up, and that included our guest - Wild Bill.
Two had mechanical problems, but one got fixed and we took off about 5 minutes late with 4.
Hunted boats and found same near F295. They were in the river, very close to the coastal defense doofer. Unfortunately, Gums had not briefed all to pull off to the west after drops.
Pd had a poor altimeter and died.
Wild Bill sunk a boat on first pass with a 500 pounder! Then the 40mm acks got him.
Gundoc damaged a boat, and then the acks got him. The boat ran up on the bank and was later sunk by a DR or lite.
Gums damaged a boat first pass, then sunk it next pass.
Guess that A-37 bombing experience Gums and Wild Bill share came back - like riding a bicycle, huh?
Gums came home and tried to find the Stalkers, but got some bad coords and finally called it a night.
Comrade Gums reports....
"God in your guts, good men at your back, wings that stay on - and Tally Ho!"
