Thats fine with me Ranger. Are you making time to work on your project as well ??
yeah my project is why i havent been flying much during the day, but now Im stuck with something Called RIGGING in 3d autodesk max. I found some tutorial videos I downloaded and im gonna study before i do more. Next Sunday IS AVENEGER day, going to Evansville and getting some pics and measurements and Gonna be hounding dude for intell and stuff on the turkey i doubt ill fly due to the BS weather weve been having. Wonder if T-bar would mind If i kept MY MCVG-2 uniform, i wont fly unless i can wear it.
By all means, wear your "Uniform". We are an anchor squad here after all.
FYI, check the CIC for some updates also.

Thanks to Flatspins class last night, I was able to head out onto the Okinawa 45 server flying the B-25J loaded with 6 X 500lbs. I took the "long way" around the map sheet and flew to target well to the East of the Island and chose a good IP location on the map to get myself set up and prepped for my bomb run on Ie Shima island airfield. Once I got on the proper heading and acquired the "target", I had to make a few quick corrections to my sight picture in order to get ready to Drop my bomb load.
The funny this is, the 200th was up doing some hasty dog fight training with each other in the general area and my pucker factor started to peg at a reading of "10" thinking about this. I knew each pilot had to spawn in on their home base in order to get back into the fight but none of them knew I was about to drop a massive bomb load down the Chimney to their surprise.
As I was getting my sight properly lined up, I noticed that my vertical line in the sight was passing through the general area where I believed that their planes would spawn into the airfield. I didn't plan for this, it just happened this way. I salivated at the thought of bagging one of these guys on the ground and I made my last preps to the sighting system and pressed the switch to "start" the sights job calculating a mechanically timed bomb release. Once the sight went "active" with its calculations, a few moments later the cross hairs started to move downwards and then I heard several loud metallic clicks...."CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK, CLICK and heard that long moan of the bombs as they fell to their impact point.
I quickly depressed the sight to read ZERO Degrees and looked closely for an impact point. Sure enough, the bombs fell just a tad bit long from where I was hoping they would go but I nearly bagged a large aircraft hanger not to mention several static aircraft on the ground. The amazing thing is, right after that impact, I saw a message on the chat window pop up from Nakano.....with "s---". He must have been on the ground when my bombs hit and nearly p----- himself in the process. I went off level stab passing through the flak up there and poured on the power and climbed to the WEST and then home.
The most damage I took up there was some fuel leaks but It appears that I was above the enemy destroyers flak ceiling as I made my way to target and dropped.
I smiled all the way back home and realized now that we have another feather in the cap to go after Sakagawa and Company.
FYI, my drop altitude was at.........
18,800 Feet....
Ranger.....once you back up and running, your going to just love this........ROFLMAO.
