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.
