Flight 19 was Avengers not Dauntlesses [:D]


I was wondering who was going to say that, as I noticed it, but it still made me think "WE ARE LOST"

Back to the serious matters. How does the birds fare? Still a hawk pestering them?

Right now it's a mockingbird. Even though it is only interested in fruit it is defending all my feeders from all comers. It is even fighting with the blue jays now. It generally loses but is so persistent that in the long haul the bjs are dining elsewhere mostly. The only other constant is the squirrels but the feeders they can reach are proof against them. When I run out of dried fruit I'll try and discourage the mockingbird.

The mockingbird has stripped all the berries off my holly bushes and my neighbor's as well. Once the Spring comes she'll be hunting insects and everything can get back to normal. She leaves the juncos alone as long as they stay on the ground but they are the only ones she even permits to do that. The doves get attacked immediately and feathers fly.

I will hereforth (and hencewith) refer to this mockingbird as Smaug. Protecting her hoard of dried apricot and prune pieces.

Nice yard you have.

Any pictures of Queen Smaug herself?

I don't recall this, not that that means anything, I just did't remember that B5M1 Mabels can attack with torpedoes and furthermore that they are carrier capable. Is this Alzheimer's? That means they, among the obvious things, can train air crews for naval attack with torpedoes. I can't recall ever putting any on a carrier. I need to write this down on a Post-It and stick it to my forehead.

Yes, Mabels are TPs. The Japanese also have an even older model TP in the game - like a biplane or something.
You do not need a torpedo on a plane to train NavT, just select that type of training mission and the pilot learns the mission profile for torpedo attacks. They can load a length of pipe with sand to simulate the torpedo.

You don't need a torpedo, that is correct. You do need a torpedo plane. Similarly, you can't train fighter pilots on transports, although they can gain general experience.

Beef for the day. No pork, we're kosher here.

Baseball has referees. Football has referees. Basketball and Hockey have referees. I've been checking up on them. None of them have referrers. Are they trying to save money? What's the deal? I'm thinking all these games are rigged.
