       The Cactus Cobras Campaign

       Hello everyone. This is the second mission of the CACTUS COBRAS
       campaign, whose author is our colleague Vonofterdingen:

       I'm flying this campaign on HSFX7.0.3, and everything is going
       well. The first mission was relaxed, and represented the arrival
       of the P-400s to Guadalcanal. In this second mission the action
       has begun. Thanks Von for this great job.

       Nice video Haukka. This brings back some great memories. Cactus
       Cobras was the first campaign I ever did, back in 2008. This
       version is an update to 4.12 standards. Good to know that it
       works in HSFX.

       Patient flying Haukka. You did well to take on two Zeros and
       survive. And very suitable music by the late great Ennio
       Morricone.
       Hey Ruski you should try using The Good the Bad and the Ugly
       music for one of your dogfights. Just a thought.

       A small sample of the third mission of this campaign. I shut off
       my engine after landing exactly one hour after starting it. I
       spent most of the flight practicing close formation with my
       leader, sometimes to the left and sometimes to the right. I
       didn't see any kind of enemy target, either on the ground or in
       the air. It was a good flight anyway. Thanks Von.
       [font=verdana]I have already flown the[/font] fourth mission,
       that has other ingredients ... soon you will see it right here.
       See you soon.
       ........................................
       This is the second version of the third mission. Our commander
       sent us back to that island, not satisfied with the outcome of
       the first flight. Incredibly, this mission lasted two hours,
       which surprised me, because I did not know that this aircraft
       had that autonomy. This time we have reviewed all the corners of
       Santa Isabel: beaches, backwaters, bays or islets have been
       thoroughly reviewed. At some point, we even look a bit into the
       internal valleys of the Island, but that is a jungle so tight
       that it is difficult for anything to move there.

       It's fun watching these Haukka. You fly these missions a lot
       better than I ever did!

       Thanks Von, these are good missions, and I enjoy flying in these
       landscapes. Mission 14, "October Crisis - The Beginning" I have
       never been able to overcome it, after three or four attempts I
       went on to the next one, I think it is the one where you have to
       sink landing barges, one of the best missions without a doubt,
       and that It will be pending for future attempts. And I have not
       finished that campaign yet, I must return to my Cobra. We'll see
       if I can show something decent. Thanks again.
       Cheers
