Mission #1 - Page 13

...and the planes begin their takeoff roll!

I've only completed the first plane so far, but will do a bunch of them this weekend. Talisman has graciously agreed to assist with portions of the paperwork (pause for round of applause), so either he or I will be posting the other planes as they fly. I expect to finish many of them this weekend.

A note for you gunners:

1. If you "hit" an enemy plane, it means that you caused damage that will affect its attack ability, but not enough to make it break off and leave.

2. If you "damage" an enemy plane, it means that you caused enough damage that the plane will leave as soon as it makes one run at you, but you also severely affected its ability to hit your plane.

3. If you "kill" an enemy plane, it's a confirmed shootdown and you can paint a swastika on your flight jacket.

Ready? The Tequila Rose is cruising toward the first U.S. bombing mission in Occupied France.

Wow, you couldn't have much more bad luck on a mission... the only thing that went right is that your bomb bay didn't get hit and completely explode....

You're not saying all eight witnesses have been "compromised", are you? How long do these flights last, anyways?

Damn, shot us all to hell and we still hit the target! Hope I can live up to that since I will be the new bombadier.

Not to bad of a run, for getting shot all to hell. Probably a good thing we didn'g kill Laz before takeoff.

Boy, you're just asking for them to re-open the investigation, aren't you? And you should be happy that you weren't sitting in the pilot's seat.

(Oh, and yeah, sure. We'll bend the rules a bit as long as RednFeisty doesn't mind starting out as a waist gunner. We can't deny the crew their promotions.)

Hey, we brought back the body didn't we? In the jokes he was strapped to a bomb. Obviously this was just fate dealing off the bottom of the deck.

That can't hold true, I wasn't on the plane. They found me before take off!! Always forgetting the small details!!

Actually it doesn't say we kicked you off, just that you were no longer in the Bomb Bay. Your moral support came in quiet handy bringing in that wreck.

"RednFeisty" makes "waist gunner" sound kinda sexy n nasty.

Do you think we should wait 3 days just to be sure?
