I couldnt help but think that that drug plane wouldnt have lasted nearly as long if even one of our AH players was after him LOL

I'm surpised the american plane didn't swoop in to steal the kill when the tucano got him smoking.

Odds are very good that he Was Not A Nice Man....

What is your point?

Drugplane: **** me, I'm smoking.
CamPlane: Seriously, stop now. Final warning.
Drugplane: **** you. I will shake you using my amazing powers of banking left, and then right.

Not much of one....maybe that this now dead person passed up on multiple chances to choose another fate, and that he was getting the consequence of his action. I suppose I meant that I dont feel a lot of compassion for him when I see the results of his choices.

I'm sure you weren't wringing your hands over the guy, and were just pointing out that real life isnt a video game. Didnt mean to imply that we were on opposite sides of some issue, just reacting to the thread.

I thought it looked like fun. Dude almost made it to the border even, just two miles from freedom. Sucks not having self-sealing fuel tanks though.

Rgr Simaril, you read my post dead on. I feel the same.

If that were an Aces High pilot....the guys in the camera-plane would be saying "Dang, I only got the assist"

P51 would also do the job nicely?

Apparently Angus, others have thought so also.

Yeah, I could see a biblethumper hugging the terrain and ignoring
both radio warnings and gunfire...this is a stretch even for our northern

what were they doing? are we supposed to feel sorry for them??? they knew EXACTLY what they were doing, and brought that fate on themselves......better this outcome than for us to support them in a prison for the rest of their lives......and MUCH better that thos drugs at least never made it to some kid's veisn....wouldn't you agree????

sorry if i sound harsh...but they probably had at least 1/2 dozen warnings before any of what we saw happened.....and they probably flew plenty of runs without getting caught, and through that, THEY probably were responsible for quite a few deaths themselves.........

they got what they deserved.........
