I’m waiting for those with baited breath…

Thanks for the info.

Nice chapter, Matt.

OOC: I simply said what model I thought it was (B-52D) and stating that I thought that model did EASTERN EXPRESS alongside missions supporting friendly forces, and Matt confirmed it. I’m calling this one hard canon.

OOC: No mistake.

Did SAC ever figure out a similar modification for the G/H models?

I think that’s a B-52D.

Not complaining about it! I’m pretty sure B-52Ds did EASTERN EXPRESS runs in addition to the WWIII edition of ARC LIGHT…

Useful Idiots… what more can I say?

They’d know that Lakenheath was the base for the 47th Tactical Fighter Wing prior to the war.

Staging through their prewar base works.

Works for me.

Lordroel, that’s a nice one, but current canon has the 48th TFW be recalled to the US to fight in the Eastern Theater along the Mississippi River and following those forces during PRAIRIE FIRE until the end of the war, getting at least partially shot out of F-111s, with Grumman A-6E(TRAM) Intruders ...

They did ask for it.

American revenge methodology = Irish passion / long term memory, German planning, and American ingenuity

Too true!

Sucks to be Ivan, now doesn’t it?

OOC:Okay, then i remove it.

If there’s a similar shot of F-4J(UK) aircraft, then substitute that and it would work as a shot of the 74 Sqn aircraft that flew with the 335th TFS around the time of Operation BOLO II…

No Spey engined Phantoms were sent to Texas.

Former Texas Representative Kay Granger died within the last day or so. Do we want our characters to react to this? Or was she killed by the Soviets for being involved in politics?

The Ayatollah’s Gift to the USN… we needed something like a dozen of them…

Yep, it is!
