S3 Series

Trigr=, Crommm, Kapsyl, Rock, Gflyer and Timos launched from F89 in heavy Spit9s at T + 0 and rendevoused with Heaven, Bluzoo, Fate, Ozzone and Pppepp from American Eagles and grabbed east to hit enemy tanks. Southeast of F91 we were engaged by a large formation of enemy aircraft and dragged them west per the plan. Trigr=, Gflyer and Bluzoo picked up kills in that fight and we lost Trigr=, Timos, Rock, Heaven and Pppepp. We rtb'd to F89 and 92 at T + 50 to rearm.

Crommm, Kapsyl and Gflyer launched from F89 in Spit9s at T + 50 and rendevoused with Bluzoo and Ozzone from American Eagles and grabbed north north east to support 23rd engaged near F48. Fate logged out at T + 55, Besea logged in at T + 70 and joined us in flight. Trigr= was on GCI. Gflyer picked up another kill in that fight and we rtb'd to F89 and F92 at T + 105 to rearm.

Phenix logged in at T + 105. Phenix, Crommm, Kapsyl and Gflyer launched from F89 in Spit9s at T + 105 and rendevoused with Besea, Bluzoo and Ozzone from American Eagles and grabbed north north east to support 23rd. The LW was egressing east so we took advantage of the opportunity to land the whole package at F89 to rebase the American Eagles closer to the action at T + 120.

Phenix, Crommm, Kapsyl and Gflyer and Besea, Bluzoo and Ozzone from American Eagles launched from F89 in Spit9s at T + 122 and rendevoused with Doolittle's Raiders and 4th Fighter for a late frame bomber run into the enemy's southern flank. We had a long engagement in which Kapsyl and Bluzoo picked up kills and we lost Kapsyl and Besea. We rtb'd to F89 at T + 170 and stood down.

Kills: 6 (Bluzoo 2, Gflyer 2, Trigr= and Kapsyl.)

Losses: 7 (Trigr=, Timos, Rock, Heaven, Besea, Pppepp and Kapsyl.)

Thanks to Beaver, the RAF CO and Jabo and Roan, the S3 guys, for an action-packed final frame.

Great work, you took the initiative and dragged the 352nd West, unfortunately, I couldn't get enough fighters there to give them more than a bloody nose. <S>

Thanks for the help you provided the bomber group, TRIG. Pass our appreciation on to the rest of the gang.
