-- Not wanting to speak for the 4th or 23rd (or any other) ........ Just stating what =sqtc= has stated that using p-47s throughout the series is a good thing. Sasquatch wrote: Hawk, the 23rd has 1 frame of 1x P-47C. If possible, we would like to use the Thunderbolts this frame...saving the ponys for the finale.
We will of course, fly whatever is needed. If I may make a suggestion, since the 352nd have used their allotment of P-47s this series, I would make sure 2 of the 3 large fighter groups use P-51s (ie: make sure the 4th and the 23rd aren't in P47's in the same frame ) Just keeping info up in front sir Juice
352nd Fighter Group C.O. (V) - "The Blue Nosed Bastards of Bodney" 487th Fighter Squadron (V)-HO 486th Fighter Squadron (V)-PZ 328th Fighter Squadron (V)-PE We have the whips - KILL THEM ALL

Salute!
Well, Wolfie, our total time will be about the frame time, heh heh.
Last frame we did not go direct and reach 26K, but dropped at about T+110. GASP!!! However, coming home is faster. Dew and Gums bailed about T+ 125, but were booking west at maybe 5 miles per minute.
So this frame we could beat those times, especially if we grab at a fast speed, like 150+, maybe 155. as that's as slow as you can get on Ottopilot ( the flight model is telling you something about drag). Our cruise speed is about 4 miles per minute, and we can't beat that until we drop. Then climb to 30.5K and haul ass.
So what are ya sayin' Gums? I am saying what I did on first discussion. The out front lites have to RTB before Big B and then lurch to meet us as far east as they can. The other two gropes of lites have to fly only one sortie unless they disco without damage, then they go with the reception lites. If you start down about 50 or 60 miles out from 30K at a good speed and idle, you can greatly increase range on the limited fuel you have.
We may even consider less than the complete squads flying one big gaggle. Stagger flights.
