I did the: looking-over-my-shoulder-to-see-which-way-to-evade-then-hit-the-side-of-the-hill-at-300, version of the "fly like an idiot" last night. I did it basically right on top of a pack of enemy Gv's, giving a proxy in the process. Appropriate ribbing ensued.

Does this count?    :aok

I did the diving straight down on a set of low B-26's in a P47D-11, throttle off, cross controlling to hold speed down, finally release the rudder and ailerons, line up the target, fire and... "You have collided with xxx" version of flying like an idiot last night.

Broke off half my wing but I was able to ditch on base and did get one kill.

Flying like an idiot means not climbing above 3k and flying straight to the enemy base with a sign on your back saying 'please gang me from altitude'.
And I don't know much, but I do know this. With a golden heart comes a rebel fist.

I knew that because that is exactly how I used to fly every sortie and still do on occasion.  It's funny how no one ever wanted to come down to help me :)

Thanks for taking the time to watch them, Cap.    :salute

well, i told ya i would.
see, i have this problem. it's my consience. i get all pissy, and insult someone, with no really good reason, then i have some time to thinkn about it. then that damd voice in my head tells me how much of an assshole i was, and eventually i hafta agree.  :noid

like i said, i'll definitly watch them again, to see what i can pick up. one of the things i did notice is that yhou seem to hit exceptionally well with the "below the nose" shots. i have serious trouble with them. i've tried everything i can think of, but cannot get the lead right.
 i think that's part of why i do better when i don't have time to aim. there's only simple lead involved then.

i think.
