and the Sportsmanship award goes to.......

[StokesAk]

dr7 in my book, you can camp him all day and he never wines, a class act.

[mechanic]

Everyone who voted for him has SAPP in their sig or a 38 nose in their avatar....ITS BS!!!

I would vote for Corky and i dont have the logo or fly the silly bomber (much)!

 But I would equaly vote for Oldman or so many other's it would be unfair to call...not least those who were generous enough to forget my bad moments and nominate me.
 
...everyone I have the pleasure of flying with day in day out is a great sport.  I don't really bother getting to know the badsports.

I've shot down one of your drones before and once I saw it was '999000' I broke pursuit because I knew I was lucky I was still alive.   

Back when he used to fly on other countries, whenever I'd get that kill message saying it was "999000" I'd chomp at the bit! I'd think "He's got 1/3 less guns now! Strike!" and he always made a good fight of it!

Whenever I see a rook b17 or b24, I type /.f 999000 and if it says Not Online my run might be slightly more sloppy.

For what its worth, my vote would go to Corkyjr too - never seen him blow up ever, and he remains someone I admire for his view on the game.

Thanks for the kind words btw, those who have mentioned me.

i've made that mistake on other people.

careful, slashing attacks. ping here, ping there. fuel hit, kill an engine....finally one of them goes down.
 
 don't let down my guard. still a lot of guns. slash, hit here n there. #2 goes down.

 ok.....hardly any guns, run in with reckless abandon, kill the last one fast, before he can drop!!


 next thing i know, i'm in the tower.

I used to attack buffs as I found them, and would be lucky to get one or maybe two before I got killed.  Then I read on the boards about the correct way to attack bombers and decided to try it.  

I run into a set of B17s at about 8K.  I took a good 5-10 minutes or so to carefully climb 2K over them and get my speed up.   When everything's perfect I dive in, pointing a bit ahead of the right hand drone, rolling to keep it in view and then start firing, looking to hose down the fuselage and cockpit.  Next thing I know there's blood and oil all over the cockpit and then I'm in the tower and 999000 is sending me encouraging PMs.  

So another vote for 999000, but there's a lot of good sports out there, <S> to them all.

i had one set of lancs i attacked a few weeks ago.........they were very close to the drop point on our cv, so i didn't take too much time to set up........i went in balls to the walls, coming from his 7 hi, took out the left drone, then the manned buff, and flew directly into the right drone. it didn't warp.......i juat had a very very poorly planned attack.
 i almost fell out of my chair laughing at myself, as bigamer took the last one down.






was a big oops......but was FUN

Batty,

sorry, but you are it. Only you would shoot the toejam out of my p38 and stick with me 10 mins till a ditching. And yes, only we would be nutty enough to attempt a landing on a 23K mountain hillside a d hit the only damn tree around. Or maybe that was me?

[mechanic]

hehehe! takes one to know one Wolf.

I think you hit the only tree and I managed to flip onto my back without any reason at all.  


Vets like you showed me the way, i remember my first two weeks when you taught me how to land on a supply road and wait for a dar bar, to save fuel. We were in the old P38L and i was very gratefull that a skilled player was taking the time to deal with a two weeker.
