Outstanding! Such honor. Makes me want to change my name from Boo...

But I won't.

Did someone in our community put this together?

He got ganged.  Sad, actually.  He never really had a chance and was only dragging out the inevedable.

IIRC, in a borrowed plane no less.

The dogfights tribute to him was epic! He gave them a helluva time to get him down.

Why is that?

Do you really need to ask why a name like VOSS is frowned upon in the flight sim community?  There have been enough threads and comments on these boards for the last decade that explain why.

I think most players today would need to ask. Heck, it was even before my time (I'm here for 6 years now) and would I have rarely read the board (as probably most players do) I would never had heard about it.
