Mission 10: The Sports Illustrated Supermission. Tyra! Tyra! Tyra!
Thanks to Zebedee for the mission name.
The planes should start rolling tonight. I'm about to get caught up at work, and my corporate taxes are in the capable hands of the US Postal Service. |
"...capable hands of the US Postal Service"? :LOL:

Couldn't resist posting that quote |
Right Waist Gunner PennyWise (8) was thrown out of the plane immediately upon the explosion, as his position disintegrated.
Stunned and flash-burned, he alertly counts to ten before deploying his chute, and comes to a soft landing on an urban street in the middle of Rotterdam. Dutch citizens mill about to prevent the Germans from reaching the scene, and the Dutch underground grabs him and runs. In the basement of a Rotterdam townhouse, his minor burns are treated by a comely blonde Dutch girl. Over the coming days, he heals quickly, and the girl eventually sneaks him out and lets him plug a hole in a dike with his finger, creating a memory that will last a lifetime. After a week of hiding and planning, the Dutch underground gets him on a ship to Denmark, and from there to Norway, where he crosses by car into the Swedish frontier and hooks up with a supportive cargo ship to England. That's awesome! |

While logical is switching oxygen systems, the second flak hit severs the throttle wire on the #3 engine. It begins to rev up, so memyselfI, recognizing that war is wrong, shuts down the engine. The plane is close enough to the bomb zone that it can remain in formation, fortunately. The flak hits and the revving engine cause the expected – hoover’s bomb run is off target – 0% score Zone 4 Out: Belgium (Leaving Target Zone) 1 Fw190, 1 Me110 attack Ebola fires, misses Cntrygal fires, damages Me110 Warrior5 fires, misses bigChiefDave fires, misses Me and Fw miss, break off attack Zone 3 Out: Belgium No enemy Zone 2: English Channel No enemy Zone 1: England Poor weather - drizzle Despite a shutdown engine and poor weather, logical glides the plane into a beautiful landing.

Bandages get passed around. Good weather Endelt wheels the plane down to a good landing but can’t hit the brakes. He cuts the engines and the plane rolls down the length of the runway, sinking into the ground at the end of the base. There’s no significant damage, though, just a long walk back to the barracks.

Both elevators have now been destroyed, which means that htismaqe will have a more difficult landing than normal -tail – kcdan’s oxygen system is destroyed. He switches to his backup system, and is feeling pretty lucky right now to be uninjured without heat, oxygen, a gun, and with a damaged rudder and both elevators to his left and right destroyed. -superficial damage to tail Me circles, attacks again 58Forever fires, damages Me110 ExtremeChief fires, misses Me misses, breaks off attack Zone 2: English Channel 3 Me110s attack ExtremeChief fires, kills Me110 tweak6 fires, misses fbal4lif32 fires, damages Me110 SDChiefsfan fires, misses Damaged Me misses, breaks off attack Me scores 2 hits -superficial damage to port wing -starboard wing – landing gear brake is destroyed Me circles, attacks again 58Forever fires, misses tweak6 fires, misses Me scores 2 hits -superficial damage to tail -tail – rudder is now severely damaged Me circles, attacks again fbal4lif32 fires, kills Me110 Zone 1: England Good weather Htismaqe is bringing in a plane whose tail is in tatters – severely damaged rudder, inoperable elevators, and damaged control cables. The flight in is uncomfortable as the plane weaves and drifts. Htismaqe brings it in, bounces roughly, brings it down again, and then runs the plane off the side of the runway since his brakes aren’t fully operable. Flyin’ Doublewide bounces to a very rough landing, but is no worse the wear for it. Aftereffects None Eligible for next mission Pilot htismaqe (9) Copilot Bwana (9) Bombardier jAZ (9) Navigator 58Forever (9) Engineer fbal4lif32 (9) Radio Op. SDChiefsfan (9) Tail Gunner KC Dan (9) Ball Turret Gunner ExtremeChief (9) Right Waist Gunner tweak6 (2) Left Waist Gunner joesomebody (2) Ten hits to the tail and KC Dan doesn’t’ even need a band-aid. Let’s hope the luck continues. |
