Hence why you couldn't fly/fight your way out of a wet paper sack  :aok

Wait, I don't Ho and still can't fight my way out of a wet paper bag.

Manfred von Richthofen was severely wounded in the head after attempting a HO on an enemy plane while flying his Albatross biplane.  He took a glancing blow from the bullet off his skull and began blacking out.  Miraculously, he was able to land his plane in a field in friendly territory.  Soldiers in the area applied field dressings to slow the bleeding and he was taken quickly to a field hospital.  It affected his tactics and attitude towards the war later.

It is rumored that he later altered the teachings of Oswald Boelke's Dicta to his men to include warning of the dangers of the HO.

If there was no concept of an HO, the whiners would whine about something else. Nothing would change. They just don't realize it is up to themselves to be in control and to have fun.  :old:

Personally I love to hear all you HOers whine then try to make it look like the Ho is more than what it really is.

I hope it wasn't me he was referring to, yes I fly with tracers off but it definitely was not a HO I scored on Bustr as he repeatedly tried to pick me by swooping down from his high alt perch.  Got him to bleed enough energy that I was able to saddle up and splash him as he tried maneuvering in the vertical.

Ok clue me in...how is getting shot in the front of the head different from getting shot in the back of the head?  Other than the open casket question, in which case any head shot is likely to close the lid?
