Best flying times
« on: January 22, 2004, 02:05:35 PM »
I was online this morning to fly a little before going to work, AH is normally a 'night time' thingy for me. I was amazed to see the low skill level on around 9am central time (I've seen COORS on in the mornings paddin his score no less). Like I said my 'normal' flying time is prime time U.S. so there is always a mix but WOW, morning time is training time. As an example I went over to A2 a nice 6.5k large Bish airfield and there were 2 bogeys down low. 1 was a pony and the other was a forkie, said forkie was trying to fly formation with pony boy. After dropping forkie (busdriver) pony boy almost augered he was so supprised. On pass 2 I got pony boy (cuda1) and proceeded to wait for said forkie to grab a little alt and get away from his ack. I again got forkie and then poney boy, and waited still for poney boy to try one more time. On my way home I got a 190 who was on cruise control. After landing my 6 I upped in a silly spitty and got a proxy kill on cuda1 as he augered while I took off. Now i'm not saying there are not any experienced flyers up at that time but I felt like I was clubbing baby seals. Is this really the AH world outside of prime time? just wondering what others thought.  :aok

Smart old pilots fly "dawn Patrol" while everyone else is working.  :)

Ideal #'s (150 -180) very little gangbanging.

You met with 2 pilots only.  About 0.5% of the people loged in at that time?

My bad, I though the guy that was on criuse control did not count.  You must be really good if you got him also.  Did you get any C47s also?

Is that a simple question or a loaded one... you seem to prefer the latter. ;)

Just playing.  You asked if I read your post before I replied.  That looked kind of loaded also :D

I work nights so sometimes I would do the 'Dawn Patrol' flight when I came home. Its only worthwhile on the small maps however, the large maps completely ruin any chance of finding more than 2 planes flying together.

I wish the MA would change to a small map during the day for this purpose.
