Those two, and almost everyone in the 80th, are a bunch of cheaters.

Cactus flew in front of me a couple of times. I had just done a nice  fast merge reversal onto AKAK's 6 when I lost conn.  It seemd more like the server crashed... than my conn dropping out... was real sudden.

I did some good dying, but it was great fun.  Lots of 38s about which was nice.  Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing a single Spit 16 either.  Only Spit I saw was a 9 who bounced me, but I lost him in the mass of planes.

I had the little one wake up right in the middle of it so I ended up riding along on Soulyss and Raptor's 38s while I fed him.  They put him right back to sleep with their 38 driving :)

AKAK was there?

And yes it was a cool furball. Maybe a little bit crowded, but the swarm went both ways at times :) .

Sure was a good time, kept me up way later than I was planning.  Wish I saved the film after that one really good scissor fight we got into, ended up with a flap stuck in the 4th position trying to limp home and cons just kept coming in, but one at a time several desperate minutes with a crippled plane twisting and turning on the deck before I think Shrek put me out of my misery.  :)

Was definitely a good night.

Your 'fast merge reversal' on my end and others around me was you warping from 800yards to my front to about d3.0 in front, disappearing and reappearing 800 yards behind me and then disappearing and reappearing d4.0 in front and then finally you disappearing and somehow I got credit for shooting you down.  We kind of joked on country channel about how that Pony could run.
