• 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.

Gets dark quick .... Winter here, and NO lights on this bird that I could find except Panel and Landing .... good enough it was.


Sequences of an exciting (money back guaranteed) missed approach and circle to land ... in the style of many past RTW white knucklers.

No more snaps after the last one .... both hands on the yoke and feet on the pedals .... or in my case, the number pad and keyboard (still rockin' it ol' school).


Wish I could can some of this adrenaline ... :excitement:


Yes!

Well Willy, after I got the Poon all parked and cleaned up the Colonel (Base Commander) returned from his trip and ordered me to report to his office.


Turns out instead of the Court Marshal I though I would be in line for I've been chosen to ferry up one of the many fighters ... here at Santa Ana ... that are being moved up to Mindanao .... say what?!!

Apparently the good Colonel is a long time friend of Miss Nellie and the mere mention of her name changed the turn of events in my favor right away.

Not happy at all with the loss of the P-40, but extremely grateful for the recapture and return of his pride and joy Harpoon .... and finding out how his old friend had been involved I have been added to the select list of pilots headed north in the next few days.


Mission to Malita in top of the line machines .... Mustangs, the big twin engine Grummans and Lockheeds ... I'm sure I saw a "Jug" earlier .... wonder what I'll be assigned.


There's a slight chance that the P-40 could be coming back home after all ....
