You've always landed 'victories', or at least since I've been around.

Also, it's not called "The ugliest flying rock that you never want to be seen in", HiTech calls it the "Brewster"  :headscratch:

I don't recall it saying "Kills", though I don't really pay much attention to the wording so I wouldn't really be willing to testify in court on the subject.

Nah it's called the 'Butt Walther' or the 'Flying beer keg' or the 'Joy of the skies' according to the WW2 pilots who actually flew it in combat ;)

IT has begun!  It was inevitable folks, we all saw this day comming, the day HiTech became a father a new member of the responcible parent and mentor club, we knew the fun and games were up, it's all over now.  He's likely traded in the margarita blender and fuzzy-dice in his RV-8 for a child seat and student honor-role bumper sticker.

When I started in 2007 I could have sworn it went from "kills" to "victories" back then.

It's always been "victories" in AH, it was "kill", as in "A kill has been recorded" in Air Warrior.
