A public apology

[Guppy35]

I'm sorry, but in fairness I must confess.  It's my fault.  I got lost while flying my 38G and landed at a base where a bunch of Knits were all sitting around waiting for a mission to start.  I placed the homing beacons on the Alliance planes and broadcast the news that they were coming.

I feel so ashamed!

I don't know what's happened to me.  I ...I... just had this urge to win the war at all costs!

I hope that over time that the Knits and the community as a whole can forgive me for my sins.  I hear that confession is good for the soul.

I feel so empty inside


<walks off pondering his transgressions, fondling a rusty old 45>



Will Corky pull the trigger?

Will Corky Auger in without a plane?

Will Corky miss even at that close of range?



Tune in tomorrow for "As the Aces High Turns"

No worries.... we never give him ammo.

Really Guppy, you should have wrote that more like a 007 scene. HALO jump from your P-38, sneaking onto the base and crawling up behind the fuel bunker to snap pictures with your handy spy cam of the mission preparing to depart. Your dramatic entrance into the control tower where you subdued the tower crew and used their very own radio equipment to broadcast the warning of the impending mission about to start. Then the amazing escape you make by stealing a brand new plane out their very own hanger and leaving the field dodging AAA and fighters.

"I placed the homing beacons on the Alliance planes and broadcast the news that they were coming."

Admitt it, you learned that tactic from a rerun of "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century"!

"...flying my 38G and landed..."

You actually landed a plane?

Everything is relative. 

A GREAT landing is one from which you can re-use the aircraft
A GOOD landing is one from which you can walk away
A SAPP landing is one from which you can't even re-use the runway

Thats how you know all of this is a lie.

As we return to the scene, the world could care less...er... wonders if our hero Corky has succumbed to a fatal self inflicted bullet wound, brought on by guilt from being a spy.

The smell of cordite is heavy as the camera turns towards a battered P38G, it's green trim faded and chipped, patches evident everywhere.  The name "Miss Fire" can be seen painted on the nose.  As the camera zooms in we can see a body!  It's Corky and he's down!  Still held tightly in his left hand is his rusty 45!  He's lying in a pool of.......er......coolant!

Our hero's eyes are seen to open slowly as he pushes himself up on one elbow and looks around.  three fresh bullet holes can be seen in the nose of his P38, just barely missing the poorly painted pinup.  two bullet holes can be seen in the windscreen of his Lightning.  A single bullet hole shows through one of the propeller blades and there is a single bullet hole in the prestone tank right behind the propeller.  A stream of coolant had run out, and surrounded Corky who had apparently collapsed from the concussion of 7 45 shots fired at close range.


"Dammit!  I missed!"

Rising to his feet, our hero begins the long walk back to his quarters.

"I'm over it"

 

[5PointOh]

Corky, sir, I'll help ya...

[hubsonfire]

As an aside, unless you're 17 years of age or younger, don't drink the coolant.

[Shuffler]

Skytrain won't be in with blender replacements till later this week.

If Guppy/Corky was actually involved in any espionage it was read far more like an episode of "Get Smart" than a 007 film.
