In fairness the Trees have a Vendetta against Corky and Soulyss - they lose to many branches to those dreaded B-38s.

Serves them right for growing too tall and getting in my airspace.

Spiteverything when flying 205, which is most of the time, they're just not fair.  And they're mean too.

people that say the P51 has training wheels didn't fly it enough

I've flown it plenty and it has training wheels and an afterburner.  It turns on a dime at 325 with 1 notch of flaps and 180 degrees later, you're going 300kts.  If you don't like the position you've gotten yourself into, that's ok, just turn, dive Nd reset the fight.  Try doing that in a spit and you'll have 8, 51Ds running you down like you stole something.

The 51D is NEVER a combat-committed aircraft.  The driver has choices presented to him because of the plane that other aircraft do not present their drivers.  Is it going to outturn a Zeke? Nope, it doesn't have too....it will just E the Zeke into a knot.

I love killing mustangs because I am usually in one and I hate to see it improperly flown...People rag on me for flying the mustang, ...

I'd say there are only a couple of handfuls that try to fight in it the way your or I do, and I don't do it as well as you. :)

1) Spitfires. Training wheels of the cartoon fighter pilot.

2) P-38's. I've never been good in one, and I always seem to bump into people like AKAK or Silat.

3) F4U's..... those damn F4U's  :noid.

The 51D is NEVER a combat-committed aircraft. 
This is not true.  There are a fair number of aircraft that can force the P-51D to commit and a lot more that can do so with just a slight E advantage at the start.

Just curious, if you'll ever meet someone who flew a Spitfire in the BoB is that what your going to tell them?

No, I have respect for the actual aircraft, and the pilots that flew it. But they were fighting for their country.

Infact, I think I should put a qualification on there: Spit 16's, and 8's to a significantly lesser degree.
