TY for the training session in the F4U! Really helped me out a lot!

And to those of you who have not taken the trainers up on their offers to train..do it! Even a seasoned vet can learn a new trick or two!

You are a very quick learner. Within five minutes you were doing some terrific rudder reversals. I was very impressed to say the least. I'd say that most pilots tangling with your Hog are in for beating.

Next week I'll be in Norfolk for the DOD Fuze conference between Tuesday and Thursday. I'll be back in the TA on Friday evening.

My usual hours are Tuesday thru Friday after 9 PM eastern. I am also in the TA during Saturday afternoons and evenings as time permits.

Just drop me a PM and we'll work out a time that is good for both of us.

By the way, nice to see you again.

My regards,

Thank you sir.

Never left, just don't fly as much sometimes.  Friday Squads Ops is often the only time I get on during the week.

Rgr. Tuesday - Friday (about 6 PM my time). Saturday afternoon would work also.

I will shoot you a PM next week and try to hook up with you.

Thanks again! :)

Don't do it widewing!

All of this is because Sour happens to run a H2H ladder and is one of us dogs.
Happened to give the 332nd Flying Mongrels our own ladder.
So the dogs started flying duels against each other.

Daddog is at the TOP with 4 duels won, but he's feeling the heat!

I figure anything he gets from this point on is strickly just deserts for beating up on his poor squad members.  

So don't do it Widwing PLEASE!

Daddog does NOT need help! These are NOT the droids your looking for
(jedi mind trick off)

Hmmm....sounds like some of the guys on the forum talking about why the corsair or 109g10 doesn't have that extra 100 fpm rate of climb they read about in some obscure DoD archive...

You sure you ever left????

I can attest to that!  I tangled with Bingo yesterday, and made him an ace+ in just one sortie (for him - 6 or so sorties for me...).
He was doing things with the F4U that totally surprised me, so you must 've learned him real good!
I give your student an A+!:aok

Bingo was pretty darn good to begin with. Nonetheless, it is gratifying to know that we trainers can help make a difference.
