Im a legend. In my mind.

Low n slow jugs sucks just the same as low and slow 190s.

Boy, you can say that again. A Dora out of smash is a dead Dora.
Some say revenge is a dish best served cold. I say it's usually best served hot, chunky, and foaming. Eventually, you will all die in my vengeance vomit firestorm.

:neener:

And Glz ups the ante - but I think you might mean unsociable, so you could be clearer.

As for the pronouncement inspiring the neener, I get that. I have, after all, called this forum the Temple of High Self-Regard. Besides, I'd guess the average here is about a 50 -year-old affluent male with very definite opinions about everything, any time not spent playing AH being spent in any number of other curmudgeonly pursuits, one of which is, no doubt, yelling at a very large display to shame some epithet of choice on TV. I'm there.

That said, just because I get it, that don't make it so. Let's be more accurate: there is an icon and an iconoclast, and there might just be more similarity than diff between the two, ultimately, given that they both prescribe a path. 

Right now, I'm longing for the days when Vrac was part of The Damned. Oh the drama... That was entertainment. Deb's ref to the Candy Van still makes me chuckle.

Let me guess... It's the kid in the middle. Prepare to be amazed. I'll guess his name:

Three Dollar Bill.

Crap! Not supposed to be low and slow either?!???!! That explains a lot.

No place better in a cartoon plane then low and slow turning on the deck.  The beauty of it is you get to test your cartoon flying skills and even if you lose, more often than not the fight was fun.

And even better you don't really die and you get a brand new plane!

What could be better than that?  :aok

Crush your enemies. See them driven before you. Hear the lamentations of their women.

Get with the program Guppy.  Words like "low", "slow", "turn" and "fun" are out.  You need some strategery domino learnin'.

Question for the SDGT experts please.  I have such high hopes of making the grade one day.

Can I achieve SDGT using a P-40 or other similar non-perk plane?

No, P-40's are too slow to use the SDGT that I laid out in my book. However, the real experts of SDGT are known to pull off a very rare and insanely skilled shot where they killshoot themselves on a wingman while trying to pick a P-40. I've only seen this feat achieved once before and I was blown away at the skill and finesse of the pilot! It nearly brought me to tears.

Damn, you are one fine malt liquor picker.

He's right Gup. Why fly junk when you can pick up some gleaming new glistener of a perk ride? Here I was, enjoying the process of learning an authentic and challenging, albeit late war, aircraft, occasionally flying stuff like the 39q or the c202/205 to augment my trusted g-14, attempting to learn to feel my ride and keep it at optimal turn rate velocity without having to check the guage, learning new ACM by trial and flaming error.

Sarcasm detected, it's like George Harrison once sang: it's what you value. But, that said, to the winner goes the spoils... What are they, again?
