Perks: 109-E4
Bombing: B17
Base Defense: Hurri2c
BNZ: typh
Turning: Spit5/yak9u
JABO: p47n

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

All around A-A fun:

La7

Why?

He who lives by the sword dies from the guy that lives by the gun.
Never bring a sword to a gun fight.

Also the La-La speed makes up for my lack of planning and SA  :D

i get bored flying the same planes, i love a variation and fly pretty much anything.

if there is a massive furball, or i am upping from a capped base, i just cannot resist the N1K though.  Cant beat fighting off the runway and blasting them out the sky with those quad cannon.

Merry Christmas to you too Sundowner, and to all the AH community, or any holiday you are celebrating..........

Favorite/Fun rides for me well:

Fun: F4U-1, P40E, P47D25
Kills: F4U-1, F6f-5, P40E
Perks: what are those?  
Bombing: A-20  
Base Defense: Hurri 2C, F4U-1, F6f-5
BNZ: only use this in a fight up method keeping them down from going to the horde, more E-Fighting type than BNZ * note - see Zazen's article in the training forum regarding Hang Em High...........
Turning: F4U-1, P51D, P47D11, F6f-5, P40E, seafire ( seldomyl a seafire )
JABO: P47D40, P47D25, F4U-1D, F6f-5, and starting to like the 110.....wow 1405 cannon rounds whippeeeee....

really like all the F4U series, very rarely fly the F4U-4 though........not into perk rides much at all..........anyone can turn in any plane as long as they are  flying their own fight and not their opponent's!!! E-Fighting is where it is at though, seriously..........

F4U-1 pretty much all-around. If I need the ords I'll up a C or D-hog, but they feel a LOT heavier and less responsive than the -1 for me, so if I'm looking for a dogfight it's the -1.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Fun FM2
Kills FM2
Perk FM2
Bomber B24 (Knite did a skin of the plane my great uncle flew the Chief
Wappello)
BNZ FM2
Turning FM2

Jabo Nik

I fly the FM2 cause it is very sporty and the chicks dig it.  You should see thier faces when they find out I am a virtual pilot who flies a plane that is substandard and can live. They get wide eyed and are speechless with awe; mostly they are so overcome that they quickly leave. I guess they just don't trust themselves around a pilot of that sexy plane the FM2.

Current Favorites: P51D, P51B - Can do just about everything well
Favorte CV planes: F4U and F6F - They are cool

Perks: I don't use or care about perks.
Bombing: B17, B24 - They are cool
Base Defense: La7 - King of the deck
Hunting: FW 190, A8 (with wingman) FW190D (lone hunting) - Fast ,deadly and evil
