Yucca, Nomde, and I went to the train area, just to help me with the move in the jug a couple years ago.  That was the first move they showed me and it is Yuccas favorite.  When ever I come zooming in on a jug and see that happen.  You will notice a bounce and then they go straight up, I know I am going against an very good Jug pilot.

I'm probably not a very good wingman as I'm usually buzzing around by myself into large dar bars, picking pickers, and at the front of a long red conga lines. I fly pretty stupid and get myself into situations I probably should avoid. But making it out of dire situations with 6 scalps and holes in my Thunderbolt once every 10 or so flights is where I get most of my AH kicks. Doing this is a great way to get good in the monster though.

I'm always willing to wing up with other Jug sticks and work on it when I can so, if you see me on, give me a shout and we'll hook up.  :salute

The Thunderbolt is one of my favorites and I hope that this thread has stirred up some more interest in the American Workhorses. LilMak again  :salute on a job well done. I did think I was in for an easy kill and you completely turned the tables on me and I must say a job well done. Now that the cat is outta bag I hope that I will recognize this maneuver in the future for what it is and hope I will be able to use it someday.   :aok

The film that I would like to see is were a Jug ges up into a stall, three notches of flaps and hits rudder, just before the stall. What it does is a complete 360 and it gives you a wiked snapshot on the guy on your tail.
Anyone have a film?

You talkin bout the one i showed ya?

Film when Shane is near by or get his humble self to send you some film. I think Drex use to be a master of this as well. Regardless Shane wacked me w/my KI vrs his 47 using this.... <S>

Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
