Which planes and why: 2009 edition
« on: October 27, 2009, 05:29:59 PM »
What planes do you fly and why? Just wondering really what other people do in AH  
and what might have changed over the years. Pretty drastic for me at least :)

Kills: P47N
Perks: 109-E4
Bombing: B17
Base Defense: Spit9
BNZ: P51 or P47
TnB: Spit9/yak9u
JABO: p47n
Overall favorite: P47n

Even if it seems certain that you will lose, retaliate. Neither wisdom nor technique has a place in this. A real man does not think of victory or defeat. He plunges recklessly towards an irrational death. By doing this, you will awaken from your dreams.

 Regular ride,  -1 Hog,  I like it, it just does not like me all the time.  I'm really not that good in it, but I have fun flying it.  I love to turn fight low and slow in it  :x

Fun ride,  P-51B, just boom and zoom for kicks.

Bomber,  B-17, flew it for first time the other night,  Its ok to me,  its nice to just fly along and chill OTW  to a target.  Seems to handle nicely.

Trainer,    Spit9,  when things don't go well, I up one for a bit of a confidence boost    :joystick:

Sentimental favorite,   190A5,   the plane I got my first FSO kill in,  again fun to fly, least for me.    :cheers:


 :salute   and     :bolt:

Planes I'd like to learn,  turdy eight, and 109,   someday I'll figure them out  ( if I ever get time that is  :(   )

Your new squeeze.

Boston III for TnB. Those .303s are "deadly."
P-39 for "TnB" that is really BnZ in disguise.
Everything except the spits.

Air Power rests at the apex of the first triad of victory, for it combines mobility, flexibility, and initiative.

I remember killing a Spit16 in a turn fight with one of those after a bomb run, wasn't too much of a nob either :)
