You live in a different time thats for sure. 

  funny thing, we live in the same time.   maybe you can't see that from 30k....   

[Chalenge]

That really adds to the discussion.

^^^^^so does this.....
i was simply pointing out an alternative to your "rainy parade"    but hey man, i forgot that you don't get it wrong.   excuse me for my misstep

Look its real simple even for a 'gifted' one like you. If you cant contribute to the thread and all you can do is insult people and act like a loon then just keep it zipped.

i was commenting on the thread.  YOU were the one to get off topic.  go back 6 posts and reread.    i didnt comment to insult anyone.    i'm not sure what you're getting at, but you sure seem butt-hurt.   how can u tell someone not to throw insults while u throw insults??   "gifted" indeed.......
getting back to the OP.....did Von Richtofen fly just the Tri-plane, or did he fly others as well?

fight! fight! fight!

See... you really dont know anything about the man.

Yes your comment directed at the mans morals is what I responded to... and you did go directly to insult with your 30k comment. Dont even try to polish over it. And this 'gifted' polish your spreading is more masked insults. Its not a terrible thing to read a few books and pick up on a few things.

vonR started in bombers as an observer but got private training from his pilot (he called him the 'driver') and failed his initial flight examination at least once. He was flying the Roland C.II (as pilot) when Boelcke came looking for pilots. vonR was embarassed to present himself (thinking it too forward) for fighter service to his idol and so Boelcke went to him. Probably it was the forward firing machine gun mounted on his Roland (and adjusted to fire over the propellor) that offered evidence to Boelcke that vonR had what a fighter pilot needed. He flew fighters starting with the Eindekker and moving on to the Tripe much later. He actually flew a lot of fighters during his career and had decided to change to the D.VII but he was killed before deliveries. He actually had one of only three (unarmed) Albatros C.IX built that he used to travel around the country.

not trying to polish anything over.  we all know how you fly(insult), theres no polishing over that. 

 I never pretended to know anything at all about the guy, except that he had 80 kills(?) and that they made good pizza named after him. 

 and u were the one to call me "gifted" i simply responded to that by calling you "gifted" back.  pretty clever huh?
if i have an insult for you, believe me, i won't try to mask it.  and i certainly won't try turning the whole back on you once i've stated said insult. 

TY for the info btw, i asked because i wanted to know.

Well at least some people in the game have enough brains to know flying when they see it (unlike what you do).

Red Baron pizza is an insult to vonR so if thats all you know about the subject you should probably read instead of posting.

Say what you want your squelched.

lol we all love you Voss.    see ya at 30k buddy    

P.S. by flying do u mean buzzing around 10k over fights and running your buns off at the first sign of danger?  if thats what you meant by flying, you're absolutely right.    I guess I just don't know anything about flying.

Hi Im an idiot and I never miss a chance to prove it to everyone.

Kiss me Im lonely!

Fixed.

I believe 'Anna' lied to you Rox.

I have no reason what so ever that her story was in any way untrue.

When I posted it, I firmly believed that the griefers would make any and all sport of it as a falsehood and was correct at the responses.

At the time of this by hugely by luck meeting an almost 80 year old and frail woman's word was taken as fact as who was she speaking to?   A reporter with some axe to grind or some 18 year old kid who was helping her with her luggage?

I'd take her word over the griefers on this board any day.

I thought you squelched me, Voss!   for a second you had me thinking you might have thrown the hook....

P.S. what do you have against Red Baron pizza??  is it some C.I.A. thing?
