All,
Some of you are aware that I am back on AD in the military, now all of you are.....
In any case, things have been heating up in Afghanistan and I have been really busy at work with some things. I have not been able to devote the attention to some Tuskegee Airmen missions that I had intended. I have not always had my laptop with me.

I hope to be able to get back there soon. I really appreciate all of Rami's work on the completed missions. He tried to send them to me on one of those transfer sites but I was out of the loop all last week and they expired before I got home and could get to them.

Anyway, I bought a book to read in airports and on the planes entitled: Aces High, by Bill Yenne. It is about P-38 pilots, Richard Bong and Thomas McGuire, JR in the Pacific during WWII.

When I get a lull in work duties, would you all be interested in my building their missions into a campaign using P-38s in the Pacific?

Another book I am intent upon getting is about night fighters in the Pacific. I think it would be a hoot to fly at night using radar to engage IJN and IJA aircraft in the dark, if CFS2 will allow it to work. If radar would not work, the tactical display and the yellow target lock brackets would certainly be an improvisation to make it work, I would think.
 
Yeah Afganistan...my nephew's been there for the past nine months. Last I heard, he's now in an area where they get to shower and don't get shot at as often.

It would be great if you'd do some P-38 missions!
Sometime ago, I demirrored and tweaked JBrewer's ancient but nice Bong paint to fit B-Guys great overhaul. That taxed my non-creative skills to the max and not surprising;;;, I didn't get the tail quite right. :friday:
