Back in the pilot's seat, a check with the navigator/TAC reveals it's about time I started getting rid of our surplus height. So I reduce power, push the nose down, and trim out the worst of the excessive stick pressures
Is that them? We come upon the ships earlier than I was expecting, and still way too high.
Another TAC check seems to confirm these must be out targets.
Time to get busy! I push the nose down harder and pull the throttles to idle, making for the rear of the flotilla.
When I get astern of the ships, I order the others to attack and turn away. The idea is to spiral around to lose height and give the boys a bit of time to get going, then roll out to make my own attack.
Right, here we go then.
...to be continued!
