    Flying 5 Desert Wings Tobruk Aircraft:

    Mission: Navigate and land on 70+ Aifields, 'delivering' Christmas cheer to all.

    Challenges faced:

    2. Can he do it without crashing???
    3. Can he avoid being shot down??

    So few questions - so many answers!!

    If you can join in, we are more than happy to have a Christmas convoy.

    Which map is it? Will there be navaids (radio beacons) available?

    Hi Noofy,

    Will be DWT map.

    Only nav aid will be standard issue No 1 eyeballs mate.

    This is just for fun. Keen to see how many we get to.

    Starting from Derna and making our way east-ish.

    The Taifun is first up as there are short good to kick off.

    Cool. What's the idea? We all take off in one plane type, fly a few legs, then change plane to another type, etc. until the 70 airfields are covered?

    I suggest adding the unnamed airstrip located BJ8.3.1 (as per the "Tobruk Map for Flashcards" located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\IL-2 Sturmovik Cliffs of Dover Blitz\manuals\aircraft\Maps for flashcards"). It has a nice oasis with tents, and is a good place to land at, especially late afternoons with low sun on the horizon. Maybe as a last landing point?...

    Nice idea!
    Are you going to be dropping one bomb on each location?

    Yep. We fly blue to land on blue airfields, and red to fly on red airfields...

    Pattle is working on trying to hook some camels to Santa's sleigh...

    Well, even if everybody takes the same plane (which, judging by experience from similar events seems pretty unlikely) there will be at least one time, when you have to change the sides.

    That one time we could land on an airfield that does not have AAA?...
