Some day I hope to meet barko in his 38 so I can learn the dang thing. I hope he has patience cause I am a slow learner.

BTW the Headhunters are also known as the Hedgehoppers....... keeps the HH moniker.  :aok

Headhunters are great! A few of them taste like chicken  :aok  but only a few :salute

I like their style!  Although a "GANG" of 80th 38s makes me----> shudder  :uhoh

Shreck he definately rearmed but he could have been flying with a wingman, headhunters used to piss me off in the MA because you would get on one and the other guy comes right in behind you :salute


I liked reading that.. :D

Some day I hope to meet barko in his 38 so I can learn the dang thing. I hope he has patience cause I am a slow learner.

Hopefully you can pass the training to me when I get back into the game, then I can take my scorecard downtown and pick up all the chicks! ;)

Stop vulching and or rearming time and time again  :aok

If you're actually fighting, there is no way to accumulate that many kills in PJ without geeking it up a bit, unless your soul, akak, del or cork! Hmm, I take that back, cork is kinda "goofball" like me and would never have the patience to accumulate that many scalps :D

Probably 99% of those kills are GVs.  If you look at his stats, he doesn't have all that many kills against planes in the P-38J.  Actually, it seems that he really doesn't fly it all that much, the last tour is the only one where he's got over a dozen flights in the Lightning.

No one really cares.
Guppy, that was terrible. No broken props, and no oil damage. I'm not sure, but it looks like you didn't have a pilot wound to me.

After looking at the first picture I was confused, I was like "he will get thrown out of SAPP for landing that good." Then after I scrolled down I got it. :rofl :aok

Come on Dan, you're not even on fire :) .

Barko, the 80th is willing to pay for lessons and your time in the TA with us. We're in the process of collecting funds.

My sole purpose in the squad is to improve morale.  Most of the time this is accomplished by being the butt of many a joke.

Well I was flying the J as it was a SAPP night and the 474th skin was the bird of choice.  The J just isn't fair like the G. I can actually get away sometimes.   I was out of fuel so the fact that I got a fire anyway with the crash is worth extra points :)
