I seriously doubt if he does to much turning and burning. All his kills are in a p51d. He did that time which is why he went down that time.

Calling it the Greatest moment of Rook Glory is a bit of an overstatement, I was there, because it was the best fight at the moment.  No offense to skpg, but capturing a base to save anyone's "kill streak" is last on the list for me, I'm glad it kept it in tact if that is important to him, but alot of the guys there were there simply for the fight.

Wow.  I just don't have the patience to do something like that. 2 kills and go land. I'll either do something stupid, like get bored and try deacking a large field, or attack bombers from dead 6, or auger in a rolling, looping fight too close to the ground.
I find it very difficult to go land if I still have ammo, or if no ammo, someone needs a distraction and I still have gas.  Actually, I just find it difficult to land.  Screwed up enough landings lately with kills where I do a S.A.P.P. landing and get a ditch.



<S> to your patience

Well I turn with my pony, and when I saw him don't know what he was flying, but he was in a low altitude turning fight. Which is all that I said.

Had to be a p51, the only thing he has kills in.

I don't think the Rooks in general have degraded in quality, it's just the number of dweebs ON ALL SIDES is astounding.

I'm willing to bet that skpg's kill streak is only surpassed by his streak of running and avoiding any 1v1 fight he encountered.

I was with Lazer one time when one of his 100+ streaks ended.  We were having a good time.  We were both in 38s and I think he ended up augering.  Either way it was a lot of laughs.

Still can't figure out how he does it with a mouse.

That's what I saw, he was mixing it up with a few of them.
