-superficial damage to port wing

tommykat cuts power to the engine, but it’s not completely successful. The engine slows to an idle, but continues to turn the propeller. The resulting drag slows down Fooooo Fighter drastically, and the plane starts falling back in the formation.

2 Mes circle, attack again

Kcnut fires, misses
El borracho fires, misses

Me scores 2 hits
-pilot compartment – amnorix takes a light wound to the right shoulder
-tail – autopilot out. Naptown chief will have to pilot the plane manually through the bomb run.

Amnorix fires, misses

Me scores 1 hit
-superficial damage to pilot compartment

Me breaks off attack

The crippled Fooooo Fighter reaches the target a bit late, at the very rear of the formation and still falling back. With no autopilot, Naptown Chief does the best he can to put the plane over the target area without movement.

Entering Bomb Zone
Bad Weather – Heavy clouds
Medium Flak - misses
Kcnut does a great job of planting the mission’s final bombs on target – 30% score

As the plane turns to go home, the other bombers have now moved ahead and are pulling away. Fooooo Fighters will attempt to get home alone. The plane will be a sitting duck until they can get fighter cover.

Zone 1: England

Poor weather – cloud cover
Naptown Chief brings Fooooo Fighter to a safe landing, and he and tommykat struggle at the controls as the pesky #1 engine won’t shut down. With no landing gear brake on one side, they also can’t stop the plane, and it rolls down the length of the runway and crashes into a large barricade of tires. The crew bails out (other than the injured kcnut), but the fire crew arrives and ensures that there is no risk of fire. Fooooo Fighters will live to fight another day.

Aftereffects

Kcnut is sent home, with the part of his brain responsible for language severely damaged.
