Sorry 'bout that.

Not making many friends in your own army here bucko... I'd suggest you demote yourself to "Seating Chart Captain" or something.

The boring Seating Chart Captain, what a perfect job for you KCMizzou. If you don't like that job we can have you fetch the "Sarge" his morning coffee. Your choice

So what's the catch? We do 25 missions but then you change them to 40, right?

I'd like to be in.

Even tho I don't have any seniority, I used to be an avid player of the online air combat simulation Air Warrior. Air Warrior was one of the oldest realtime online sims before it was bought out by EA then discontinued in 2001.

I've flown thousands of missions, but I was mostly a fighter pilot. Trust me, you learn A LOT more about WW2 air combat tactics flying a sim than you EVER can learn playing an Avalon Hill game. (I used to play Luftwaffe. Is B-17, Queen of the Skies the same game?).

I've done it all. I've flown escort, I've been a buff pilot (pilot slang for bomber), been a gunner, bombadier and I've flown German planes attacking bomber formations. (These sims are ALL played against live human players, much tougher than any AI game you've played).

Oddly enough, the plane I liked flying the most was the British Spitfire IX. Despite its reputation, the P-51 was not a great "turn and burn" plane. It was terrific for bomber escort and for flying the "boom and zoom". I also really liked the German Bf-109K4.

Just as long as you don't send me on raids over Ploesti or Bremerhaven I'm cool with my slotting.

I didn't knoe "buff" was a nic for bombers in general...... I thought it was just for the B-52's.... ("affectionly called Big Ugly Fat ****ers")

Anyway.......... if you need another "name"...... I'll "play".

B-25 pilots were called this as well....it came from trying to control the wheel to fly those things.Never arm wrestle an old bomber pilot.
