SALUTE

CMDR Drake Jensen reporting in for Mantis Squadron on 08.01.02

Commander's Corner:

-Well here we go again. We have slacked off a little this past week but we are still going strong. I want to thank those pilots that flew XwA TC 30 for Top Dog and gave us the highest score on the Van. You know who you are. AY! DO MANI!!!


XO's Thoughts:
Mantis made it to the finale of Top Dog! Great work to all those who participated in flying XwA-TC #30! Now, Broskopf's personal competition has started! Please participate and if you can't do that, then make others participate in it! Show everybody what we're made of! AY! DO MANI!!


TAC Report:
Ok, We only have two battles in the XWA TC series left to fly: 28 and 29. Fly those two! Other than that, just fly your particular flight of fancy :P Good job, and keep it up!
LT Dufar
