Saw this on Facebook earlier. This one stings having known Pipz a long time. He was a squaddie for a while back when the KillnU formed 475th FG was flying together. He was a history buff and model builder so we used to trade info back and forth and he'd show me images of his latest models.
Anyone who flew with Pipz was subject to his 'singing' that we all said was a basis for war crimes:)
My most lasting memory of Pipz is from DGS II. We went in together on a pair of 190s in our 364th 51s. In the midst of the fight Pipz starts to yell at me to not help him with the second 190 as it wouldn't be fair. He got him on his own, but I was laughing as it spoke volumes about Pipz approach to the game. It needed to be fun and fair, even in a scenario where staying alive mattered.
Pipz final tally in DGS II on the Mustang profile I did for him honoring his singing ability
