P-51 vs. Erroneous Perception

[RedTop]

I work in Manor and am moving to Hutto next month.  I work 08:00 to 19:00 Friday through Monday.  Generally available outside of those hours.

Hutto?  Sweet..I live near the Dell Diamond...How about next Wednesday...In Hutto....at Rio Grand?  Mexican Food place near Home Depot. Say...noonish? Or in Austin...maybe north Austin at FreeBirds near parmer Lane? It's in taht shopping area on te N. bound side of 35 by that Super Target?

Or you call the place...man food is my game!!!!  lol  I can eat about anything....except sushi or to many veggies.

Chuck Yaeger said something like, "A Spit can do for 45 minutes what a Mustang can do all day." Somethinng like this.

Freebirds???  Lame.

Go to some hole-in-the-wall mexican joint where you have to order in Spanish and your whole meal including the tip is like $8.

That's just cuz I'm in Lubbock and the Mexican food here sucks.

I still haven't found a good Mexican place since moving to Texas from California.  I've found some ok places, but not a good one yet.

I did find a very nice Indian restaurant in San Antonio though.

You have to eat at Mi Tierra at least once if you ever spend some time in San Antonio.  Famous people eat there.   It could be that your expecting real Mexican food.  It's all Tex-mex in these parts.

Uh... relevent non-thread hijacking post...
I can only see three reasons you would try to out turn a spit in a pony.
1. You're a masochist?  Like the abuse?  And this abuse will be comming from more than just the spit.
2.  You got slow and stupid, or stupid and slow, and now the spit gots ya dead to rights.
3.  The spit HOd, you knew he would, and so you executed your lead turn like an effin pro.  Meanwhile, the spit made a flat turn and your about to blast that spit with a rage that only Palestinians can understand.

These 51 threads are getting funny....No a 51 isnt going to compete in a stall fight with turny birds, all other things being equal. Thats assuming the turny bird pilot isnt taken by huge surprise when the 51 merges with him and doesnt run away. I get many kills that way. People always underestimate the mustang, and thats its biggest strength. Somehow the legend of the Cadillac of the skies has been diminished in some way in this game...My job is to remind everyone. I love flying "dweeb" planes. It riles up the old folks. Been flying the LA7 a lot lately..such a dream. I have caused many rage quits with it. I think thats an achievement HT should add. "RageAce: Cause 5 players to Rage Quit"

You like to get a rise out of people on occasion too, huh?

One of the nice side benefits flying and pwning in a Spitfire, especially when pwning ponies..

Never get me to rage quit but, I must admit, I'm usually am suprised when a pony actually wants to fight and is able to latch on to me like you do. If anything, it makes me want to up again and find you. You're the exception to the pony pilot rule BigR. Most of the pony stuff that shows up on these boards doesn't apply to you. Unlike other "respected" 51 drivers (Rocky and Pand come to mind), you know how to fight with it and don't need 2 friends and a bag of E get the job done.

Karnak, redtop I'm up in Georgetown! Nice to see players in the local area!

Weird - I moved from Texas to California and I've experienced the opposite - I won't go as far as to say that Mexican food in California is bad...it's just different compared to what I was used to in Texas.

Tons of good places in Houston and Austin.

Ah, finally got a mention.  Thanks LilMak!

This was a sortie from not too long ago that I enjoyed!  I'd be interested to hear thoughts on how this style of flying matches up with the general expectations of a pony pilot furballing in the MA.

Disclaimers:
- I had a blast.
- I claim to be better than no one.
- 1v1 most would probably kill me every time.
- Listen for the easter egg quote
