• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Willy's Lost in the SW Pacfic

Made the hop to Munda okay. Gonna take a break here, do a little mainetence on the Dauntless and bum some gas from the local Marine unit before heading across the Coral Sea.

Noticed some FS unavailble errors in the text file. I had a FS freeze up for a few minutes enroute to Munda which must have been the problem. Happens when I've had FS running for a while on this 9 year old comp.
 
Thought I'd landed a little long. But then it also rolls forward a few feet when the tailhook releases.
 
Taking off across the Coral Sea. Hope to find that fleet carrier. If I don't it's a long trip to PNG and the Marines didn't want to give me very much fuel.
 
Just realized that it's almost 69 years now since the Battle of the Coral Sea was fought. May 7 & 8, 1942.
 
Orders say on to PNG with a stop first at AYMS. I'm getting the SBD refueled and a mess cook brought me up a thermos of coffee and a bag of donuts.. Fred got a box lunch of cold fried chicken.
 
After a few issues, we're underway for AYMS. Nothing major, just a loose nut on the joystick....
