13th TAS diversifying?
« Reply #15 on: September 04, 2001, 11:27:00 AM »
Like Yeag said Midnight...we encourage the 51, however, it is not mandatory. Those of us who fly the Mustang do so because we prefer it. We were fortunate enough to bring in some old flyers who are dangerous in whatever they fly...I'm sure that in time, they will see the error in their ways and fly the Cadillac of the Skies :) Until then, they will just have to suffer.

On squadnight, we are P-51 only...remember, it's only an uber plane because we know how to fly it...oh wait...thats not right...it's the machine not the pilots :)

Funked...can I use that pic as our noseart...it rocks!!! :D

That the "twin boom terrors" are a niky squad.

In all fairness... 13 tas doesn't have "mustang" or "pony" or P51 written in it anywhere I can see.

I believe you are absolutely right, actually.  I don't like it anymore than you do that there are folks in "LW" historical squads flying the N1K2.  I don't do it myself, but thats because I dislike the plane.  It does seem corny to me that folks in the "historical" squads still just fly whatever the best plane available is.

Funny how the vets don't see it that way Lazs.  Before you talk, you might want to verify you know just what the hell you are talking about.  Col. Frank Gabreski sure didn't seem think the virtual Northolt Wing or the virtual 56th FG were corny or "blasphemus".  In fact he seemed to be pleased and excited that we were remembering and honoring the units he served with.  Go ask the vets of the 100th BG or the 4th FG (and many more units) how they feel about the "blasphemus" sim pilots they have befriended...

Did Urchin just squeak about the La-7... again?

Change the record, brother. You're wearing a hole in it.

One thing I found pretty amusing was when I was shot down by Furious of JG/54 "Grunherz" who was flying a N1K2-J while I was flying a JU-88 bomber!  Man, what a dweeb.  I know for a fact he also HOs, and poorly.  But, all is forgiven since he looks mighty sexy in those spiked leather panties!  Thanks for the pix, St. Santa!   :eek:

well funked.... I might want a concensus of opinion on that one rather than a spot check.   i also doubt that they would be quite so thrilled if they knew what planes were actually being "flown".   No doubt some are flattered but I still consider it corny and blasphemous to use something someone else has earned, especially without getting permission first.   Perhaps "in honor of" or some such would be more appropriate?

If you buy a Harley (or even like em) i would suggest that you get some Hells Angels colors and wear them around the  biker bars for a while to prove your point about flattery.

Yep, can't beat em you may as well join em.  Good plane to fly when your team is outnumbered 150 to 30.  Did quite well in it actually, had two 7 kill sorties and a 6 kill sortie in one night.

I fly the plane I like to fly.

I like to fly the Mustang.

I NEVER worry about what another player chooses to fly.

Urchin is the most unoriginal guy ive seen in any BBS.
His posts are so generic you could hide his nickname and you would never guess wich whiner is posting.
minus has poor spelling, Tac is hyperactive and always mentions nik and p38 engines in same sentence, RAM always goes ballistic, etc.
Urchin has nothing going for him. I say we make a vote to ban him.


I now request that we go back to the original topic mean to this post: MY LITTLE PONIES!!!!!!!!!   :cool: [/i]

Furious in a N1k2 ?!!!

He must have downed a whole keg of scotc before that or something... anyway, Off he goes for 2 weeks of potato peeling !  ;)

98% of our pilots fly LW Iron 100% of the time
the 2 % might test an Allied AC some 0.000001 % of the time he's online (No waranty!).

<confesses he likes to steal a jug on sunday mornings between 9-10 AM>  :)

Hihihi.

I used to take a zero up for field defense, but don't do that anymore. I was about the only one who did that  :).

If ya meet 9./JG 54 in the air, you're definitely gonna fight LW planes. Simple as that  :)
