OMG hock: how long do you actaully want your flights to last??? lol, 25% fuel in a p38 goes a long,long, long,long, long, long, way! heck 50 fuel and you could be flying all day! :lol:

A very interesting and in-depth discussion. I like it.

But I got to tell you, that last night one of our members exploded after the usual question of "what fuel loadout should we use for this mission ?"

The guy who made the mission shouted in some not so polite words something like "what the heck fuel load do you think the pilots in WWII took off with ?"

After a long silence it was agreed they took off with full tanks.

Maybe a vet of the war here or someone who knows one still living can confirm or tell differently.

But from now on we decided that's the way we would do it.

Carry on
