decied this midway/who or who ever who is... lol
just a proposition...earn it bas as the OP states oooooooooooor my recomindation you get it in 2weeks  
 
 oh and there is a 3rd lose the training wheels and fly 1 sortie spit 1 sortie something other than a spit say idk a P38 then go back to the spit for just 1 sortie and after that switch it up again....that way you learn the other planes and their weaknesses that way you better your self as a pilot....
id say just wait 2weeks and you get what you want. thats how its always worked with Aces High  
 
 
oh and FREE DOLBY!!!!!! <S>
