Flight 19 - MTO

[Taco]

Hello there!

I sure don't know about the rest of Flight 19, but Old Dudley and I had a fairly nice flight and we sure saw mucho water. We all left Carthage DTTS and headed for Malta LMML with an over fly of Pan. The attached picture is of our B-26 over flying the fore mention Pan. The Italians during WWII had a airbase handling a fighter group, at some date the Italians with drew the fighter back to the main land. Our next flight we will be heading North to the Island of Sicily, which over the last many centuries had been conquered by a whole bunch of country, and now the Brits, and American are thinking about doing it themselves. hehe. Nite all

Hey folks,

The picture is of Dudley and yours truly passing Elba Island in our Cracker box bird. We gave her the Cracker Box name, because, it looks like a box having an almost square box like fuselage, but one thing she is a nice flyer.

Old Dudley and I had a wee bit of a problem with the BF-110 so we returned to LPIA and the crooked swap and shop dealer and told him that thing was a flying piece of, you know what, we got our bucks back, so we shop around at another place and took a chance on this here FW-190, maybe not a good choice but we were between a rock and hard place, so we took it, and by golly, she was a great flyer! Now all I got to do is to Rob from trying his practice shooting at me and the 190 from his sporty machine. Oh well, It's all in the fun we have flying as Flight 19.

MTO adventure has come to a close. We flew the last leg from LOWS to LIMB over some real neat scenery over the snow covered Alps. Heck, in some places we needed, or me self, to climb up to 12000 feet. Here are two pictures of the take off airport and the one at Limb. So folks, I guess we can say goodbye in a few different languages, but we won't say goodbye but we will see you all later when a new adventure pops up.
