Two Nomads, Gundoc and Gofly, took the RW at 58 an launched shortly after T time in TBDs with Torps. However on roll out Gofly got too close to a palm tree and went down—clearly pilot error Vs “Control problem”. Afterwards he jumped in with Gundoc to head out toward 33 area to look for ships. In no time ships were spotted and a fish away was made but it missed. Requested and received permission to divert to 54 and refuel and rearm. As Gundoc lifted for the second run he accepted Gofly on again to gun and then exploded for whatever reason. Reset was requested and given and Gundoc launched and headed back to last ship spotting. Before reaching that area another group of ships were spotted and a successive full run in was made sinking one ship. Following that, even with multiple discos Gundoc was able to sink 3 more ships—a total of 4 for the Frame. WTG Sir. A big thank you to Weisen for taking the big chair at such a late date. Also thanks to Jabo and everyone else who makes this happen each week.
BTW- Frame 3 Co and everyone needs to take notice of one of the series rule that is posted. 4. Weather - in frame 3 a storm will effect both sides with heavy cloud at all levels and poor low light conditions.
Salute, Gofly AG-8-Doolittle Raiders Member, Nomads WBs 2004
