Been getting a lot of positive feedback on my flying lately.  It makes my day when I get pm's/200 compliments about my fighting Even from VET pilots.
I must be doing something right..eh?   <S> ALL

Greatness!  But you can only be one of three people from days-gone-by, lol and I loved fighting all three of them.   I am in hope of you being one of them specifically but any of the three will certainly be refreshing.  Welcome back...it's been a long time coming.

Pffffft........the first time I few with JG11 as we approached an enemy base, TheBug comes on the radio and says, "Zoney, go down and kill that ack"  :O :bolt:

Let me guess - The base was just captured by the enemy as you were trying to land with low fuel?  :old:

Believe it or not folks, I've seen it with my own two eyes.  Zoney has in fact engaged an enemy fighter below 5k in my presence.

JUDAS- Awesome.  It really is the best way to learn.
