Murmansk 1942

Mission 1:
Escort Fw-190s on a bombing mission against enemy shipping.

Outcome:
Raptor aborted after take-off due to gear/computer failure.
I struggled to keep up with Task Force and HunterICX until I made the discovery my flaps were still on 'combat' setting...
Fw-190s missed every single ship, no enemy contacts sighted by us but frantic calls in German and Perkele over the radio indicates the Soviets were about.
Returned to base to find the usual shambles, HunterICX barely missed a friendly aircraft on landing, so Task Force and I took the taxi-way resulting in nose-overs for us both.

Flying into the sun whilst RTBing, PTSD flashbacks occurred.

Our, somewhat loose, Kette

HunterICX comes in to land, unaware an AI is on approach coming the other way...

The inevitable occurs...

The Lolwaffles are back!
