You were lucky, I had a diesel engine!

In last nights 3 hour session with scumbags Mace and Speedy, I managed the grand total of about 40 self induced crashes and no kills.
Only once did I land any hits at all (on Speedy I think) and in my excitement I missed my rudder key and went back to the desktop!
Needless to say, when I returned, Speedy was gone and Russia had a new, mysterious crop circle.

Cess Patrol-"Please return your seat to the upright position and prepare for impact"

So that was what you dropped. Getting tired of crashing on take-off, I was playing tail gunner for Rune at the time. I was in external view watching the the impressive sight of the hail of death from the two ILs heading in the general (within about 100 degrees anyway), with you getting slightly ahead, when suddenly the sky was full of small square thingies, then an an mighty huge explosion and wall of flame right in front and beside us. The next thing I saw, when the smoke cleared, was the right wing of our plane, having decided that it had had enough and go home, go fluttering by the plane, with the rest of the plane soon following in an impressive spiral landing. And to add insult to injury, we didn't even manage to crash on the convoy.

cess air: "where not only the flying stinks"

And in closing, I just want to say that I had a great time doing the formation crashing practice with my fellow cess-patrol types, I (or my son) were online about 9 hours Sunday, even got to the point where we could take-off about half the time.

You're not serious about that JoeBob are you? That's the best we can do?
We're doomed...
Hey, if I were just a little bit creative I easily could do sooo much better. Really...
I could create a squadron logo so marvellous and great everybody would tip their hat.
Maybe I even could manage to survive head-on passes. Or talk on RW and keep airborne at the same time.
But that's a different story.

OK, guess I'll be contend with what I get.
I hereby officially state my agreement to the aforementioned points.
As if anyone cares, I know, don't tell me...

And yes, I admit I was flying around with Rune, Roborat and Geier for some time and managed to get shot down a few times. Did I hit something? Sure, the limits of my capabilities...

I would call your attention to the email from our own Cess-Mace in which he displayed a stunning creativity (especially for those of us who know him and suspected that his artistic ability was pretty much limited to pencil, ruler and tongue nearly severed by clenched teeth). Nice job Mace and thanks for the work on behalf of the squadron.

I got online a bit yesterday only to discover that I can spin in with a Yak 3 as WELL as a P-39 at low altitude. It's nice to know that my skills are consistent. I would like to apologize to virtually everyone who got a shot at me ... none of them shot me down but I DID die so they can take some comfort in that.

I'm still trying to figure out why the P-39, which is a lovely plane at altitude, behaves like a pregnant sow upon taking off and is cold meat for anything (including a Fiesler Storch with SMG out the window) that catches it taking off.

I'm messing about with the IL-2 Dynamic Campaign Generator to see if it can create some good co-op missions for us to play. The downside of the co-ops, of course, is that other players can't join once the game is launched but the MISSION involved would be a nice change of pace from the furballs that online Dogfights usually degenerate into.

Finally (and the crowd goes wild), today is a holiday in the good old USofA and I EXPECT to see some CessPoolers online for a change. Don't forget to use Lorak's RW channel to make contact. I will admit to wondering if Lorak had forgotten to password it yesterday when I got on only to hear two kids chatting back and forth ... turned out they were Roborat's and Rune's but it did give me a turn for a moment.

Yours in a nasty terminal spin,
Cess-JoeBob
