GaryK: Full AAR up for Lucky Patch. Mar 16, 2024 4:18:42 GMT -8
eddie: "The Girl Next Door" took a lot of flak but is back at base, no purple hearts. And we definitely owe those P-38 boys a round of drinks! Mar 11, 2024 12:57:10 GMT -8
kkirch22: 79th BS Angry Ari has hit the target for 30%. Flak hits over Target knock out #2 engine and cause a fuel leak, aircraft leaves formation and safely diverts to Lecce. AAR to follow shortly! Mar 10, 2024 23:03:45 GMT -8
tomt1999: Miss Holly limping in to land with only one engine... stay tuned. Mar 10, 2024 11:25:53 GMT -8
crushedhat: Target Zone weather is "Good/50% Clouds." For QotS that's "Good" visibility. For Tft make it "Slightly Obscured." That's the word from the boys at Metro. Mar 10, 2024 11:00:18 GMT -8
jasta6: We NEED the Visibility information for those playing Target for Today! In my case it will make a BIG Difference in my bombing results... Please... Mar 10, 2024 9:57:56 GMT -8
jasta6: 78th BS, Lt Hosey's crew in the "Stupid Dragon" takes over TEC in Zone 4 I/B and makes it back to base with little to no damage. Mar 10, 2024 9:53:51 GMT -8
medic1: 79th BS Invadin’ Maiden returns safely but the heavy flak was a factor in missing the target as well as robbing the squadron of its CO Mar 10, 2024 7:11:01 GMT -8
medic1: 79th BS - Invadin' Maiden Takes over as lead Mar 10, 2024 6:37:58 GMT -8
