- I was playing one of my favorite Hellcat mission `Flying Fortres'
- from the original set just now. I escorted the fortress
- successfully, downed all enemy fighers, sank the battleship and
- the cruiser, strafed AAAs, and came back before the fortress so
- that I can see it land. Landing B-17 is one of the most exciting
- scene you can see in Hellcat. Land on runway 9R, and taxi all
- the way back to the opposite end of the base, and hold short of
- 27R waiting for the landing traffic. When I stop completely, I
- was credited for the kills but not for the mission; this is
- normal since the fortress hasn't been successfully returned to
- the base yet. The fortress landed beautifully just in front of
- me. Awesome.
-
- Then very interesting thing happened. The fortress made a
- _right_ turn on the runway; it always turns to the left to park
- on the turf area between two runways. It taxied on the rough area
- around the strip until it hit a tree and exploded X-<. What a
- miserable thing to see.
-
- I took off again and came back, expecting that I wouldn't be
- awarded since we _lost_ the fortress, or worse yet, I might be
- court-martialled because I was in the way and the fortress
- destroyed itself to avoid my Hellcat. Well, I simply got the
- mission award. It left a very awkward feeling...
-
- By the way, is anybody here interested in buying my copy of
- Hellcat (with manual of course) with Gravis stick (rarely used)?
- Since I am going to part with my SE/30, I'd like to see my
- favorite game enjoyed by somebody. Please make an offer. I
- enjoyed it enough, so I would ask maybe around a half (or a
- third? I really don't know what the reasonable pricing is for
- used software or hardware) of what mail order places are asking
- for the new ones.
