After touch down I had too much speed and noticed that with no engine my brakes were not responding.

My lil ol favorite was only about a month back... I was in my zero around 3k up and a niki and a 109k come out of nowhere with alt of about 7k each. i managed to survive against both of them for...say it with me, 20-25 minutes of hard stressful maneuvers to stay away from their guns. after the 20minutes the 109k had lost an elevator from a lucky shot by me on the upswing and another bish came to help me out, the niki and 109k rtbd and me and the other pilot followed. We ended up at the base in a 2 bish vs 5 enemy. i shot down 4 after flying for another (god my legs hurt during this) 15 minutes :joystick: :rolleyes: . I decided to rtb (in a zero  :lol ) and a spit16 chased me. i shook him off and he left and then a ki84 chased me all the way back home and i landed before he reached me... i gotta say that when im in flight for over 35minutes of constant dogfighting and wild maneuvers to survive and land with 4 kills has to be my favorite moment... Its when i realized that i could do MUCH more in my plane than i previously thought and now im in love with the a6m5b and a6m2 :aok :joystick:

17 kills in a niki with no reload. Running for home with 16 kills and 30 cannon rounds left and being dived on by a ki84 only to reverse and pop the pilot and escape bingo ammo with 17 kills. I thought i was god that day.
 :rofl
Or gunning for snaphook in his A20 and shooting a P51 down in a reversal turn with the turret,

 :D
Squad nights and general squad fun at the top of that list also.

hehe, Snaphook flew so well it gave us an easy shot from close range.   a20 film for some reason the wing tip doesnt break off in this film now, must be a patch issue

I was mixing it up in a furball off one of the island maps a couple years back. I was in a c205, and doing okay. There was about a sector's distance of ocean between our main continent-located airfield and the next island over with an enemy field. The fights were getting thick but staying over the water. Bombers, fighters, high, low, singles, multiples... The fight was just perpetual. I was flying there for a good half hour or more and had hotpadded a few times for ammo (stupid bomber! Take too much ammo to kill!!).

I was chatting with a pal on and off the whole time and base on our conversation he landed 5-6 kills and said "That's for you, krusty!"

It was such a nice gesture I immediately had to repay it. I had just taken off again, was heading out for who knows how many more sorties. My only damage was a hole in one wing. I turned around and landed 16 kills and said "That's for you :)"

Giving up a streak like that just for the comraderie! I'm not saying the landing itself was all that great, the sorties mostly forgetable, but just the memory of sharing of good will between 2 pals is why I'll remember that one for a long time. Was a pleasant feeling.

< almost never tanks so................
One night firedrgn was asking for more tank fodder on 200 so I up at the spawn he was driving back to base. All I see is a little dot I just point my turret up as high as it would go and try to lob one close, I kid you not, a direct hit and kilt him. He pm me that he hat 19 kills. :x :x

Same night up tank at some v spawn on a base it spawned me way up on a cliff so I thought hmm will this survive if I run it down the cliff. This was not a hill it was almost straight up and down. Anyway off I went and landed upright and the bottom right behind two tanks defending there base. I think one was coronado don't remember the other one. Anyway I popped them both. They were very unhappy.
< thinks that was the last time in a tank :D

worse moment : I used the rocket take off for the 234's(drones included) and flew all 3 into mountain. reupped and did it again :)
Best moment: A-20 ran out of gas and i landed on the ground, rolled almost 1.5 miles down a slope and stopped on runway with 6 or 7 kills. one of my squaddies has the film.. :)
