Great description of the mission Haukka, and great flying. I
love the screen shots you took. Many look like photos.

Excellent mission description Haukka,
Target fixation is an issue I have as well. Staying in the fight
when your doing well even though the machine is telling you it's
time to leave is tough to do. But take heart, you sent some of
the Huns into the briny deep and took out a couple of their
aircraft for good measure. :)
Excellent screen shots also. :)

I had a good run this week after a couple bad ones. I took off
from base and found myself at the target area pretty quickly. I
could see the Arados but avoided them at first so that I could
concentrate on the ships. Missed on my first ship attack but was
successful on the second. I thought about heading back to base
then, as in the past I have found the AR-196 to be a surprising
nasty opponent. But defied my own judgment and went in after
them. I got one but then I realized that I had been hit by
something. Might have been an Arado or might have been flak from
a ship, but I had suffered some pretty severe damage to my tail.
Then it was time to return to base.

"Clear my tail" takes on a whole new meaning now. But I got back
to base, but to my absolute amazement I made a decent landing.
Well, I wasn't entirely on the runway but hey I had tail damage.

I encourage others to try this out. As you can see it is a lot
of fun, win, lose, draw, or fiery crash. Yet another good
mission choice, Haukka!

[font=Verdana]Excellent mission Von! Having returned to base on
time was the best choice. And my Congratulations on a successful
landing returning home with the damaged plane. That deserves an
extra score. I'm glad you enjoyed the flight. A new adventure is
coming soon. [/font] ;)

Great result Von. Always satisfying when you bring a damaged
plane home. Although the ground crew might not like the extra
work.

Thanks Dhumphrey. Your attack wins the blue ribbon this time
though. Great flying!

Easy takeoff after engine start despite the hot, blowing sand.
The Beau really takes off easy and flies wonderfully! Rounded
up my lads, Yellow Flight, then straight to target with no
trouble. Keeping a wary eye on enemy float planes (their rear
gunners have magic bullets as I know from previous experience
with them) I quickly spotted the target, ordered my boys into
formation, then dove in and let loose my rockets...all direct
hits and yet experienced NO results of destruction! WTF?
Though amazing bad luck and feeling cheated, I shook off my bad
mood as my lads hit and started a fire on the ship. Anyway,
choosing secondary targets of opportunity, I winged over towards
land, spotted a Hun AAA balloon and flamed it, then bagged an
enemy bird and another gun. Feeling better I called my lads and
headed home! Ha!
Good landing but must have taken damage without knowing it
because my engines wouldn't rev down...causing me to overextend
the runway. I got them shut down and finally rolled to a stop
but once again hit a bump in the dirt and nosed over causing
some prop damage! G'ah! Blimey!
I'll hear from the Group Leader about that! But perhaps he'll
go light on me, eh? I did do some good damage to the enemy.
Excellent, fun mission!

You did a good mission, Beo. Sometimes those rockets fail more
than a fairground shotgun. And his best decision has been to go
home and not stay in the enemy zone. A few more minutes and the
story would have been very different. Congratulations Beo, you
are at a spectacular pace. Thanks!
