whats your tag  online? and who do ya fly for? ill make it a point to go after ya in a spit and see how long you last.

My in game handle is AKAK, usually fly in the MW arena but I'm willing to cross the wrong side of the tracks and fly in the LW.  

Actually, a better idea would be to set up a meeting time in the DA and have a series of fights in there.  I'll fly the P-38J and you can fly any of the Spitfires.  After each fight, you can move onto the next Spitfire variant until we run out of Spitfires for me to shoot down.  By having the fight in the DA we ensure that we have a 1v1 fight without anyone interfering, the fights will be co-altitude and a fair fight.  If after teh first fight it becomes clearly evident that you are extremely over matched, I will handicap myself by flying with a heavier fuel load to restrict my manueverability.

Do you agree to these terms?

:O LMFAO...I thought I had brass testicles hunting AckAck in his 38...you would have been better off taking on Shuffler first, he might be just a tad easier...at least you would learn something before you got to AckAck.

:rofl I like your spirit.

Here's a tip for ya. When a big P38 is swooping down on you like a pissed condor, type .join ackack  :D

In all seriousness though if you do accept this challenge, record it and go back to the films and see what you did wrong. You have a good opportunity here to learn a few things. Good luck to ya.....you'll need it.  :salute

well I guess I'm different then most, when I know there is a good stick on opposite side I want to get into it with them, for there lies the way of uberness  :D

fighting one that can own you over and over, maybe he will be kind enough to tell ya what can be improved in your game :x

About 5 years ago, I fought someone that is renown for being very good,  6 times I tried to kill him each time he handed me my arse, around 4 years later, I met up with him in the MA, I happen to have ALT on him but he has a couple friendlies with him, I killed him and his two buddies I was in a hurri2, so I head for home I look back and see a Hurri2 has rolled after me, I stay on my RTB route till he gets within 2k, we are at equal E-states, I do a shallow split S, and engage him, it was a good fight but he went down, it was same guy, one of the best days in AH for me.

Never back down from a fight NO matter who it is with, best way to improve your game :aok
