What plane did you start out in?

A20G

Learn to fly heavy armor, then when you get into a real *fighter* everything is cake.

No joke.

My first online sortie ever was Air Warrior in Half-Time PAC, I upped an F4U and tried to turn with a Zeke. I really never have had a single plane that I fly for very long, most nights I fly many different planes, just because I like almost all of them. I would say that in AH the plane I fly more than anything else would be the Ki-84, but many others would be close in hours flown.

I started in a zeke. Funny, because I used to escort bombers in that plane...lol. It could hardly keep up.

I was a 2 weeker wanting to learn to fly not a spit or la7 but a 109.. of course it wasnt easy but with the help of biggles, storch, bighorn, dedalot and of course alot of trial and error..I came around.

Then joined the 56th and dweebed around in JUGS learning to knife fight in 47N's and D40's with Blu and YUCCA..

I was too much of a 109 dweeb so went back to the Messerschmitt and joined The Army of BuTT MUppetS..

Been gone for a little over 5 months and going to have to look for my old mentors to shake some rust off when im ready to back.

In Air Warrior, while I was new, I learned in a Spitfire.  Once I came here to AH (after a several-year hiatus from on-line flying), I got back in a SpitV (mostly -- some in an F4U and some in an FM2) until I got up to speed again.

Now, I fly whatever I will be flying in the next scenario and, outside of scenario practice times, generally fly P-38's, F4U's, or P-47's.  I mix it up from time to time, but I usually stay out of the more-popular planes just for variety's sake.

started out in a jug, then moved to pony, niki, spitty...found the fm2 and thats pretty much where I stayed.

Way back in AW RR I was a 190 driver. Moved on to the spitty and then to AW FR where I swtiched to pony/spitty then started flying them all to an outstanding level of mediocrity...where I still am today.

Of course now I fly the F7F light:aok

C-47....got shot down a lot, seemed like I was a magnet for enemy air...was great at getting the inside turn but when i hit the button fire the guns, all I heard was Geronimo. I did land a few kills in the goon, but I guess it was because they crashed, never seemed to be able to get those darn guns to work, just some guy named Geronimo yelling his name.....

The other clowns in the Flying Circus now let me fly Ponies, Jugs, Spits, and the Fortress. Thank god that Geronimo guy stopped yelling his name, it was getting annoying....

Lets see, My first couple of "tours" started out 90% of the time on the ground rolling around.  Now I stick mostly to P-51B/D, the A-20, Spit IX, C.205, and trying to fly the 38 every now and again.

I think I flew the pony, Hog, and Hellkitty in AW. Loved the Vader as well.

After a month of dabbling in AH I was seduced by the HurriIIc for awhile to be followed by the Hellcat and FM2. Next would come the various Hogs. I love Blue! The Niki is always my favorite anti-vulch ride with a few others mixed in for variety.

Had to look up this one.  Tour 78, 17 kills in a Hurri IIc, Spit VIII, and a Spit XVI.  Very steep learning curve!  Now I fly the Spit 9 and P-47D-25.  

Funny to look back and see how the game changes your views on whats important.  Before I cared about just landing a kill or two.  Now I enjoy flying with the squaddies and having a good time.

The first and only flight I performed in the MA was in JU88's. I never knew about the DOT command .move, so I flew from A1 100 miles to the front lines to end up crashing short of the rwy. So I took off again, and this time landed. Then I took off and bombed the neighboring enemy airfield to take out 2 guns and get shot down by a Spit 14.

But overall the first plane I ever flew online was the Spitfire Mk. V. I've stuck with it so far.
