Wednesday Night Warm Up Mission

Guys,

I have a short "milk run" for you tonight before we head out on the B-17 mission. In this first mission P-47s and P-40s are taking off from adjacent airfields in Italy to hit a rail yard and munitions train. The only problem is as you get ready for takeoff all Heck breaks loose as HE-111s escorted by 109s hit both airfields.

In these screen shots you can see my #2 wingman makes it off the strip behind me but # 3 and 4 get hit by bombs while on the runway. Nothing left of them but smoking craters.

RIGHT! We all know about your milk runs. Looking forward to the session.
 
:kilroy:Right. Did someone say "milk run"? DON'T FORGET THE COOKIES!!!!! (Low carb and low fat, of course.):woot::d:friday:
 
There is a flight of p-38s that will spawn on the ramp beside the P-40s. You will have to wait and taxi to the runway after the P-40s takeoff. all the while bombs will be coming down.:woot:

I would recommend you get off the airfield as soon as you can.
