Mission 8: To heck and (hopefully) back. - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 02-28-2004, 08:55 PM

The planes are rolling down the runway.

I'm working, so I run a mission, write up an interview, run a mission, etc. Missions will come tonight, but at 30-60 minute intervals.

Damn, you are right. But with your propensity to find de morte, I wouldn't be surprised if the return ship you were on was struck by a few torpedoes.

Eh, my only fear is that a b17 will fall out of the air hit the ship I'm on and sink it. And lets say I got a pretty good scare seeing Throw Bomba from the Plane flew right over head at 500 feet.

I guess 0% with all the hits the bomb bay took is acceptable. Shoot there for a minute I thought about dropping them "by accident" over Belgium and telling the rest of the crew the shots did it. I'm just glad to be alive after taking that many hits to my bombing compartment. Pardon me know while I go change my shorts.

Nah, apparently God doesn't want your plane harmed; he's protecting it the best he can, but if anything happens to the plane, you'll all end up parachuting onto the same British fishing boat.
