    Default AAR The Wright Flight April 13th, 2024 Dayton, Ohio

    The Wright Flight took to the skies again on a beautiful April day. In attendance was Darryl (predhead), Ray (The G Dog), Marc, Mike, Chris, Rudy, and Myself.

    Our first mission was a recon mission for the British. They had three Sopwith Camels and a RAF RE8 versus two Albatros D.Va and a Pfalz Triplane.

    Here is the fierce black Albatros D.Va.

    The two Sopwith Camels fled. The black Albatros was too far from the action to catch up. We called this mission here.

    German Victory!


    The second mission was another recon. This time, the Germans were on recon and the British were defending.

    There is two Sopwith Camels and a Bristol F.2B.
