B-17 #5 El Duderino's Mission Recap Thread

Talisman · 01-24-2004, 04:10 PM

Here's a thread where we can keep our missions, celebrate the good runs, review the bad ones, and drink to fallen crew members.

Let's hope The Dude is still flying high many missions from now.

Word is apparently spreading among the Luftwaffe to avoid the starboard side of El Duderino.

And the strange part is that you were just as effective as I was. At least you got a beer out of the deal.

Rumor has it that one of your bullets landed in a dowager's rose garden and started a small fire that she had to stamp out. So don't despair; your presence is being felt in Fortress Europe.

JohnnyV13 · 01-28-2004, 11:49 PM

WEll....at least Radar Chief is hitting stuff.

BTW..when I said I liked "Jenny Tramp" as the nose art...I meant I liked the PICTURE..not so much the NAME.

BUT..i like the new nose art as well.
