Ive had one of those dreams. A lot actually. I was in a 109E being BnZed by a Pony D, and I knew it was a dream because I actually won!

But see? That 109 looks SO ominous. I wish I was a good enough pilot that I could strike fear into people like that. I think the fact that its a 109 adds to that. If I imagine it as a 109 with a Spit behind it, its not nearly so scary... I dont get it... I SUCK

To clarify, after you press PrtSc, open up MS paint, or whatever you use to edit pictures, and Edit Paste it in there. Fraps is easier.

My wife's grandfather is second from the right in the front row.

Saturday when we were flying gliders, we dedicated the whole day to throwing rolls of toilet paper out of an open window (Yes, our 233s have windows) and trying to make it completely unroll, before we hit it in mid-air with our wings to try to cut it. Turns out they fall way too fast from 2,800 feet. I do have a great picture of the toilet paper falling though, as seen from the cockpit. Ill try to get it uploaded for you all.

A fighter Pilot's wet dream. Thats right, two Ar-234s, heading to the same base, un-escorted.

Reynolds · « **Reply #101 on:** September 28, 2006, 02:11:56 AM »

And of course, when we arrived at the target, there were 2 La-7s, a Tempest, two 109s, and, my worst fear, an Me-262. My heart really did skip a beat. Nonetheless, in true warrior fashion my wingman and I just nosed down. He got behind us. We just kept on into the target. He was getting closer.... "keep going, the target is more important than any two pilots"... "bombs away"... "Break!"... "Hes on me!" and he dove in at me. I went into external. "D1.0k..." "D900..." "D800..." "D700..." "D600..." "FIRE!!!!!!" Spraying shots blindly behind me, all I could do was pray... *click-hiss* :Im out of ammo!!!" and as the smoke cleared, I saw it. The 262 falling fast, his left wing 2.5k above him. "Hes down! 262 is DOWN!!!" "Great job!" "Coming in on final approach... shiesse..." and a 109 came in on us, nearly waxed us, but we got some support in the form of fighter cover back at base, and we landed it. That was my 5th i beleive flight in a 234, but only my first ever kill with those tail guns, and I got a 262.

Great fight VansCrew, you scared the **** outa me!
