All,

So it's 1815 on 2 Feb 1990, and CLA aircraft are performing their last sortie of the day. The Combat Air Patrol is looking for a fight, and things haven't been going so well. Earlier in the day, Boxcar flight lost an aircraft without hurting the enemy, and then Bruiser fight traded planes with the enemy (1 to 1). Blackjack 01, 02, and 03 have been loitering just off the coast of Cuba when the call goes out that two Castro regime MiG-21s have been spotted.

I believe this is what you call a furball. One Phantom has already been damaged, multiple missiles in the air. To see how the fight turned out, please check the blog at:

So, not exactly 'Top Gun' yet, but we're getting there. Actually, I don't want to get there, kills ratios of 10 to 1 don't seem like much fun. But these games have been fantastic, and now it's time to get to Day 3. Next fight coming right up.

If you're willing and able, please leave a comment on the blog.
