An interesting plane I'm in - B17 #16 - Page 4

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.

I'm feeling much better thank you. But it got me to wondering, why do men have nipples?

Damn straight, that Folke-Wulf took off, he knew not to mess with a torqued-off raido-op.

Can't argue with the batting average. One shot/one hit. I'm batting 1.000 for the war (so far).

Over-Head · 02-08-2004, 06:34 AM

Heck that was a cake walk,,,,i'd probably have hit something if it wernt for this damn hangover

BIG_DADDY · 02-10-2004, 02:04 PM

Sure would be nice if we could hit people more frequently. Good job MCF of getting that last one off of us.

And the rest of the crew is quite impressed with the reception on their intercoms, too.

Maybe that's the problem with our bombing runs. If I was piping in Count Basie or Satchmo rather than those Benny Goodman or Glen Miller Band tunes....

Hey, guys, any requests?
