IL2 Mission: 12/31/2014 Guadalcanal Ops

Post by Lurch » Fri Jan 02, 2015 5:44 pm

Laser Lurch and Vball flew carrier ops and land based attacks on Florida Island and Gavutu Island. A variety of aircraft were flown, including F4-UC Corsairs, SBD5's and A-20 Havocs. The last mission of the night resulted in Laser losing Elevator and ailerons, in an A-20, with Lurch in the Top Turret. Laser flew the A-20 al the way back to Henderson Field, using nothing but Split Throttles and Flaps. He then managed a perfect emergency landing. A thing of Beauty. And the Flaps jammed on Final.

Lurch's Corsair took some major damage and he attempted to make it back to the carrier, but it didn't go well.

The enemy didn't get off easy. As they say, "ya shoulda seen the other guy."
