The throbbing of the Dalmer-benz engine ground to a halt, Cobraj's emil had come through for him once more... A sharp pain across his thigh wakes him up, as he remembers how lucky he had been today. While coming to the rescue of a new member of the gruppe, He forgot to check his 6, and was taught a painful lesson in Situational awareness, by the most frightning Spitfire Cobraj had yet seen. This spitfire with the Sharkmouth and blood red spinner, and the name BILKO! across the fuselage stitched a path of holes from one side of the plane to another, a .404 bullet zipping across his left thigh, leaving a painful flesh wound. The tommie obviously out or low on ammo, flew along side for a bit, thumbed his nose, and with a rocking of wings dove for the channel.
Cobraj climbs out of the cockpit and get's a very stern look from his crew chief Walter. He has the look of a strict school master as he scolds Cobraj on the shape of the plane. It is obvious that this is Walter's plane, for he treats it as if it were his son. Cobraj limps away to the bar, as the cursing of Walter fades in the distance. The EAW bar (named after Erwin aron Weiss)the gruppes first casualty, is strangely empty and quiet. A loud shout of "Horrido" as a vodka bottle flys through the air to Cobraj. "Twitch" (called that for the way his finger twitched on the gun switch, when bandits are near)gives a hearty laugh as he brings a glass over to Cobraj's table. Guten tag! Herr Hauptman, Guten tag.., replies cobraj, and asks Twitch for 3 more glasses. "Expecting company?" Cobraj looks down and with a heavy heart replys" Ya... Cobraj sets up all four glasses and pours a round. He looks at the empty seats, and thinks of friends that have been missing since the last mission..Barry W, Karnak, and most of all Herr Rommel. It seems like yesterday that Rommel, fresh from riding around in Afrika in a panzer, transfers to the Luftwaffe. Cobraj laughs as he still cannot imagine how Rommel fits his huge A**
in that Emil... Rommel was lost over the channel a few weeks back and Cobraj has to smile as he remembers, how Rommel ever the professional Flieger, Saluted at attention in his wonderful blue flight suit as he drifted by Cobraj in his chute. It has been some time since we heard from Rommel and can only hope he was rescued.. Cobraj looks around at the EAW bar and thinks forward to a future when all his comrades can join him again. To laugh to argue, to talk shop, he hopes the troubles will be over soon... A loud laugh comes from across the bar as Herr CFran and Herr Donster are comparing the latest French post-cards.., Wanting to clear his mind from the day, Cobraj grabs the Bottle of Cognac and walks over to the laughing CFran and Donster....
