Adger, How appropriate with the "Nine Lives". If you spend much more time in hospital, the war will be over! I guess the nurses are getting used to seeing you and that can't be such a bad thing!

Fyi, I died several pages ago. I couldn't get around to posting pics and gory details as I'm wrapping up a quarter of school, but I gave a brief synopsis of my short career , which ended with my becoming one with a tree.

Ha! Picture #5 can sure leave you with a sinking feeling in your stomach, can't it? Great report, Adger, nothing sends fear down my back like a pack of two seaters, unless it's an over zealous wingman! Is that a custom skin, by the way? Is that why there's no red cowl?

Ha ha your both right guys...I told one of them that i was a happily married man Robert I might aswell be a Medic at that hospital i spend more time there than at my Barracks Adger, I spent so much time in the hospital my wife wanted to know if I had a brunette nurse. She knows my weakness! I had to tell her she was a blonde, about 4'-5" and almost that tall!

I've completed 15 flights and my time to fly has been so limited over the past week. I hope to get up there tonight and over the weekend. Is today a hard end date? Good point! According to post #1, we are shooting for a maximum of 19 missions by Sunday, June 16...end-of-the-world time. ...Mostly so all us dead people can start flying again in a new challenge So try to finish up in the next couple of days and get those reports in! Also, please post your score if you want it updated in the first post. Lastly, it would be cool if you could throw up a screenie of your pilot if you haven't done so yet so we could get a rough tally of the damage we did to our enemies. I suspect it is considerable!

27 April, 1917: Three of us are sent to escort a flight of four BE.2s on a bombing mission behind the lines. As we arrived over the target we got into a tussle with three Albatross scouts. We selected our targets and soon the fight had broken into three separate engagements. I do not know how the others fared, but my fight was a fairly long lived affair that brought me well north of where we had started. Finally, I was able to get a burst in and shred his wings pretty well. He broke off and began to climb away. I was coming around for another pass when I spotted three more Albatri approaching from the north well above me. I broke off and headed for the lines, but they soon overtook me in a dive. We swirled around for another few minutes and I shot one of them up fairly well, but had to break off without finishing him. I felt like I was getting the upper hand on the other two when I pulled a little too tight and whipped into an accelerated stall/spin. Though I had been careful up to this point to keep excessive g-forces to a minimum, the violence of the spin proved too much for my poor Nieuport. I heard a sickening cracking and tearing sound and my lower left wing departed the scene. The Nieuport flopped on her side and though I fought her all the way to the ground, I never regained control. The crash was fatal. Missions: 10 - 10 points Time survived: 4 weeks - 8 points Confirmed kill: 10 - 30 points Becoming an ace: yes - 5 points Promotion: none - 0 points Medals: 1 - 3 points Total: 56 points Among my victories were two aces: Carl Menckhoff - 39 victories, and Ludwig Luer - 6 victories. Well done and good luck to Shiloh and Adger and all the others lucky enough to still be alive!

Good job, gecko, 10 enemies down will certainly help the war effort! In fact, I think we're going to win! Shhh! Don't tell Olham! I'm throwing you up on the scoreboard!
