Geez, I thought 10 M16's and Wirble's was pretty impressive, considering they're dedicated anti aircraft :confused:
If you bagged some Whirbles then I'll give you credit. I hate those things almost as much as that damn Brewster.

You found a way around the original intent and spirit of the bet and that makes you silly for accepting the payout.  You do look better in the pink skirt though.  You should leave the one with the blue pony at home...its less unbecoming than taking the payout

Not being mean, but 10 kills in a spitfire? and Midway rolling his eyes at debrody as if its getting kills in a spit 9 is something worth considering...

here is a video that is worth considering...

Thats SO Funny :rofl
I mean me wearing a pink skirt...because I mean what guy wears a pink skirt?  I totally get the joke, and it's PINK...totally shows more feminity than a skirt alone.  BRILLIANT!!!
And then BAZAAM!!! I have a uhh..blue pony at home, not sure if thats a skirt too, or an actual pony, but hilarious grownup material right there! :aok
And to top it all off...wait for it...a PLUS ONE!!!!!

With Zingers like that, who cares about content, or any worthwhile material to present argument, just go to the assumptive close, and then Bring it home with ponies and pink skirts...I was done before I started!!


Way to Go YOU!!  Complete mastery of the keyboard is yours :salute

p.s.  The bet was not my idea...but you didnt know that did you ;)

An intersting thing I thought of...Is I bet most people that are commenting have not actually seen the film...since you have to download it as it is not posted on youtube.  That thought occured to me when someone made fun of me killing trucks :rolleyes:  

I still do not understand the hate, Midway even agreed, and a  :salute to him.  I hope the film proves (if you actually watch it) that it would be extremely difficult to get 10 kills/no rearms period, which is exactly what it shows, and is exactly what Midway was suggesting.  14 attempts until I got it, and I had to get creative.

I was most concerned about fuel, if I had a greater range I would have had a much better ability to plan my attacks.
Ammo was second for me, I knew that if I could knock out 3 GV's with 3 bombs, then I would only need 7 aircraft down, this was my original plan actually.  And 7 is a whole lot easier than 10 by guns alone.  10 gun kills only allows for 24 cannon rounds per kill, and 2.50's is not a whole lot of backup. (although those made up for my last 2 kills)
An opportunity existed...you may complain that it was against GV's  but think of it this way, I am essentially HO'ing a stationary target that has equal if not superior armament, and has superior edit:armor.  I actually believe this to be much more dangerous than most aircraft, but it helped solve the ammo issue, and it was quicker then hunting aircraft, which solved the fuel issue.  But then there were enemy fighters to contend with, while trying to pay super close attention to the wirble or M16, to guess where his attention/guns were pointed.  Then you have set up an attack properly, come in from the top so since the sides of these GV's have a tleast some armor, and we cant waste ammo.

...There's alot that goes into it.  So hate away, thats fine, but make something more constructive, then "I wear pink skirts"

My memory fades with age, but I thought I recalled a thread some years ago where someone got 10 air kills with a Spit on a challenge.  Well, I went looking and found the thread where Moot did it on his second sortie.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,262343.180.html

The film is not available, but I remember seeing the film.  I believe Moot is still around, maybe he or someone else has the film.  I for one thought it was quite amazing, especially since I mainly fly a Spit.

Every kill a spit can score on a wirbly is a proxy. You ping him once, disable the turret while hes shootin on another aircraft then he towers out realizing he has no business anymore.

The truck comment was downplaying the killing of GVs. It , like most of what I post, was in jest. I will note not to engage you again as you obviously don't get it nor can you take it.

I will illuminate the terrain in which we are both deployed relative to my comment.

The spirit of the wager was air-to-air.  You found a weak way to win the wager and choose not to admit.  Take your medicine like a man and you won't get called a skirt.....and you won't have to come up with all this drivel to hide your embarrassment.

Friends?

 :O So moot was a FPH back then, huh?   I remember fighting him once, winning, and then he said on ch 200 " God, I hate Spits!", if it's the same moot.  To go out and do it on a second try and get more than ten air to air kills I think is very impressive.  Awesome even.  That's my goal, to have the SA and shooting skills to be that good.   :salute moot, wherever you are.

Okay, so it's not a Spit, but I went even more noobish.  No doubt the Luftwaffe guys would have gotten twice that many, but I tried my best.

Oh, and don't mind Glasses.  He was such a foul-mouthed complainer that we wound up booting him from the squad shortly after this film.  Good riddance.
