An interesting plane I'm in - B17 #16 - Page 3

Aircraft #16

Pilot BIG_DADDY
Copilot Skip Towne
Bombardier RedNeckRaider
Navigator CHIEF4EVER
Engineer jcroft
Radio Op. Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan
Tail Gunner Cannibal
Ball Turret Gunner Over-Head
Right Waist Gunner bishop_74
Left Waist Gunner CanadaKC

Hmm, if I have this figured out, I've got two Canadians in this plane. We're obviously a joint USAAC/RCAF mission. (of course, we also have two Raiders fans with access to munitions, this could get real interesting

Of all the assignments I could have gotten, somehow Radio Operator seems appropriate, considering how many hours of radio watch I pulled in the field. Just make sure I have plenty of pencil erasers to ensure the pins on the communcations wires are clean and always pack at least three spare microphones, just in case.

Who's fighting?..I'm just saying, that I feel a little like a low hanging left nut is all

Kinda hanging there all wide open waiting to get kicked

Might happen.

Over-Head · 01-24-2004, 04:41 PM

Have we flown a mission yet?..HAven't been around in a few days, and I skimmed threough all the mission pages. Perhaps Kevin could make a "Clean" thread with ONLY the missions in it, then poor schmucks like me wouldn't have to sift through so many pages to find stuff

**Skip Towne** · 01-24-2004, 04:52 PM

Nope, we haven't flown yet that I've seen. That "Missions Thread" is a good idea.

Fire Below was the name, but Fire Down Below works fine. Thanks C.J.!

Well, our bombing run went much, much better than the first time.

However, our shooting percentages are still not too good. 1 hit per run isn't going to get it cut once we start drawing more attention.

I recommend a little less time in the pub and a little more time on the practice range.

And no more rippers before the run.

Hey skip, I was sorry to hear about your extraneous third nipple being shot off. I hope you're healing well.

Both times we have taken flight I have been dog shit hung over! however I am 2 for 2 on the machine gun, and the only chance I have had to drop a payload I hit 30%. If you would like to talk it over, me and Big Daddy will be at the bar!
