My big revelation in hawk-relations came one day while flying with him in P-38's. I was his wing and got a guns solution on a con. He started yelling "Plank, don't run in front of my guns like that, you zoomed right into my sights!"
Well, I was filming that battle and took a look from his point of view. I was nowhere near him at any point he was just angry that I was stealing his thunder. I realized that day that it wasn't about flight models, it wasn't about porked planes, it wasn't about skins, it wasn't about base altittudes, it wasn't about the new color of M&M's, it was about him. If he wasn't the hero, he lashed out at everyone around him.
Lost all respect for him that day, sadly.
