I started out in the P-47D-40 then I jumped all over the place from Spits (I liked the Mk. XVI) and Ponies (P-51D) but I now fly the F4U-1A and I love it.  I was shooting down planes left and right with it yesterday in the Deuling Arena.

In AH1 I started in the P40-E and was actually good in it and got several kills then went to Zeke....      Now you will find me in any plane with A high ENY value. KI-61 is one of my faves now... All High end spits and LA-7's must die as they are losers :p

Rides when I first started AH? Usually upped in a 109G, since it was my main ride in WB before I made the switch. Jumped around a bit trying to find the ride that worked best for me.

Switched to the P-38J almost exclusively with the 475th within about a month, then started flying in the AvA full time that winter and returned to the 109. Switched back to the P-38 when I came back to the MA and joined the 80th, then after a while moved over to the 4th to figure out the P-51, and the B-Pony became my main ride.

Started out on the La7, then the Spixteen, before finding the light with the 109G14. Been flying German Iron ever since :aok

I checked my stats to find this information... I also found that I have more kills in the 109E this tour than any other plane beside the 109G14.

I started in a Typhoon, because I was a terrible shot, still am, and I needed the hizookas to get any kills.  

Through testing, I decided the C.205 works best for the way I fly, and shoot, good mix of MG and Cannon rounds.

When I came to AH it was my first real online flight sim experience (other than about an hour in Warbirds, and some time flying EAW online).  There just weren't much to choose from back in beta tour 1.  At the time I was a pony junkie, I flew it for a few years.  Eventually I realized the ability to run away at will was hampering my ACM development and I let Mathman talk me into the F6F and I fell in love with the stubby little blue plane, proceeded to fly that thing into the ground for a few years (literally and figuratively).  Somehow I settled on the P38 and joined the old 475th before leaving it to join the freshly formed 80th.  Flying the 38J and 38G more than anything else these days.

mmmkay...lets see here if the brain will work....
main ride when i created first account flying for Bish as OntosMDW was the G-10..LOVED IT....flew it almost constantly along with the P47D-30

Second "tour" as OntOsMDW flew mostly the 109 series along with spending sometime in the P47 series trying to master it. Flying wing with Frenchy and Nomde taught me lots.  <> 56th Fighter Wing :aok

Third "tour" as OntOs, still flying bish with the Air Mafia I mainly flew Buffs. B-17s and B-26s killing strats and making high alt runs to kill HQ. Still trying to master the P47s.

Fourth "tour" as OntOsMk1 I switched over to Rooks, w00t, and joined WoT. Was shown how to truely fly the 109D-9. Absolutely AMAZING plane. It is my second favorite ride in AH2. 109G-14 was released and it was love at first flight.

Fifth "tour" now flying as OntOsV5. Fifth account = V5, now ya know. Still flying with WoT, cuz they're the best. My main plane still is the Bf-109G-14. Second is the P-47d-25, then the Fw-190D-9, along with the P38G and J. I would love to really master the 38s but, like the 109s they require a LOT of discipline and knowledge of what the plane can do and cant do.
