Greetings Mongrels!

When one is assigned B5Ns, each participant knows there's really only one of 3 outcomes from the evening.

1. You get found and die.  What you're found by really makes no difference.. ok.. maybe if you were found by a rogue flock of C47s, you MIGHT.. maybe.. live to tell about it.  Anything else, tho.. you're dead.

2.  You're not found and you actually get to attack your target. ( I've heard that to do this requires a bizarre ritual involving sacrificed squirrels and concessions made to obscene sheep.. but I haven't confirmed this )

3. There is no real 3rd outcome.. just wanted to give you the hope there was a better than 50/50 chance of death.

Kudos to the brave warriors donning the meatballs and giving it the old college try:

Obj Destroyed: 0    Deaths: 5    Landed: 0
Bailed: 0    Captured: 0    Crashed: 0

The good news is that, assuming we're not reassigned B5Ns ( and I'll fire off a note to the next CiC to ensure that doesn't happen ) we'll have a bird that can fight back next week.

Hope to see a few more brave souls to man the riceballs next week. 

Thanks, again, for all those who showed up this week. It was really great to see everybody.. seems like it's been a month since flying.

Great AAR bro!!   

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding this months FSO on the AH boards right now.  Personally, I admit that I like it!  Yea sure there is a lot of water to cover, and the fighter escort is slim to none, and the fuel burn is 1.5 instead of 1.0

It is a setup that imo, requires some real thought on the Cic's part.   I think it will be real interesting to see the scores when the minimum and maximum numbers on planes are adhered to.

Bottom line is that this one is a bit different, and that is appealing, at least it is to me.

Fwiw, I think had that lone high Val not drug a couple F-4F's right to us, we actually might have gotten to go fishing vs becoming bait
