Maybe the flak buffeting was what gobo needed, because he nails the bomb run – 40% score
Good weather
Unaware that the brakes are inoperable, kcwolfman sets down lightly, gently brakes, and Red, White, and Blew by You veers sharply to the right, bouncing off the runway, across the open space, and across another runway. Right waist gunner cdcox gets a splendid view of another B-17 barreling straight toward it on its own landing run, but fortunately the other B-17 is three seconds further up the runway. Kcwolfman alertly realizes that applying the brakes again will cause the plane to tip and roll, so he just steers and the plane bumps to a stop out in a clearing, none the worse for the wear.

Three observations:
1) gobo finally hits something. Red, White and Blew by You is finally off the snide!
2) scrolling down the screen, I saw good weather and exhaled that the mission was over and a success. Then the excitement began. Luckily we all survived.
3) I love the smell of napalm in the morning (oops, wrong war)
