I am digging my Covered Wagon badge. Not a lot of us have them. Weather not exactly cooperating...Dead reckoning indeed....the wind was blowing my plane around like a kite. Found myself in fog after an hour over the mouth of the Chesapeake... dove down to the ocean and headed south as Langley was at a course of 164... extended out over the ocean and I picked up Langley and 2 destroyers off the coast of Virginia Beach. Was sweating it.... but I landed just fine.![]()
Well your Dead reckoning was not so bad Crashaz !
You right !, For now not alot of pilots have get is medals !
(Even if I was the author of the mission, plane, and ship,) I have made 2 attemp to find the Old Lady, in the canal but after 1:30 of flight (fuel tank near emty) Have to return back 2 time to the airfiels.
I agree whit you that whit "the morning fog" its very hard to find the Old Lady.
But I will try again util I get my medal and come back here to talk about my story !
Thank again for the interesting history of your " first landing on the deck " !
Good luck to all !
