Does flying a 38 in the heat of battle while eating BBQ count?

Depends on whether you were wearing a bib or not.  Also, need pictures of your keyboard afterwards to see how well you kept the barbeque contained...

In the MA it’s forming the 80th with Del and creating SAPP.  In Special Events is leading 36 P-38s of the 474th FG in DGS I and then leading 16 P51s of the 364th FG in DGS II.  Nothing in AH has reached that level of immersion for me where my imagination could take me back in time to 44-45

While we're on the topic of BBQ.  I saw a video on youtube recently of women in Korea trying real BBQ for the first time and watching it was almost as fulfilling as eating real BBQ myself.

here's the link if anybody's interested.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWKOUxF-Dso

Squad night. Cleared SkyRock’s 12 and he killshot himself and it pissed him off.  More than a little.

Nothing better than stealing a squaddie’s kill on squad night.

HONK!

Starting and running the BaldEagl's Aces High Dueling Bracket Championship Tournament for several years and dealing with all the cat herding, egos, controversy and deadlines that went with it.  Regardless of the headaches it was my honor to host it.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Myself and Pugg in the 13th TAS on a Fariz mishun early 2000's where we managed to shoot down 15 in 45 minutes in our P-51's. I bagged 7, he bagged 8.

We then flew home where I managed to land badly and ended up ditching my ride and not on the runway. :furious


Ah, the life of a P-51 pilot...  :airplane:
