I was killed, it wasn't my time to go, I've been murdered ! Somebody shot me and left the scene. Either that or my pilot steered me into a path of flying bullets

Or was it the navigator that sent us into that area ?

BTW, I guess I'm speaking from the grave, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW !

I hear dead people

**RealSNR** · 01-27-2004, 11:31 PM

I'll tell ya, that would be a whole different outcome if it weren't for the skillful co-piloting.

**RealSNR** · 01-27-2004, 11:37 PM

Man, our bombing runs suck. We couldn't hit a bull's butt with a bass fiddle.

**Rain Man** · 01-27-2004, 11:45 PM

And you don't even have an excuse. It was a milk run, and you blew up a dairy instead of an aircraft plant.
