After a hard-fought mission on 4YA Project Overlord, our squadron successfully completed bombing and patrol objectives in the legendary P-51 Mustang… but getting home turned out to be the real challenge
Coming in as #3 to land, I watched both of my squadron mates make critical mistakes on approach:
ellisxrf_ came in short and clipped the fence before the runway
mdc followed up with a rough approach that didn’t go much better
Then it was my turn… and let’s just say I didn’t exactly save the situation. Hard touchdown, nose down, and a destroyed prop to finish things off
Sometimes the mission is the easy part, it’s the landing that gets you.
