Flew Gold in Warbirds; refused to rotate. 4 years. (htm- hngtme) Been a Bish since my first night here.
I know most of the folks that fly for Bishland; or have in the past, I like 'em all. Good pilots; good people. Even Creamo.
I'm proud to be a Bish; these guys are brothers-in-arms, we suffer it all together, good times and bad. I've seen them band together and fight like inspired warriors.. and I've seen 'em check their brains at the door and do the dummest stuff ever concieved on a flat screen... I've laffed at 'em; with 'em; hollered and screamed; they've put up with me and done their damndest despite the odds and my meddeling and continue to be... 'working independently, toward a mutual goal' ..BISH. My people, my nation. <S!>
God bless every damn one of 'em.
As for the resta you low life rooks and knights.. I've had the privledge to have flown with and aginst most of the guys in here; in one capacity or another; Scenarios; TA, SEA, etc. There's a precious few I've met that I have less than warm fuzzies for.. but even then the animosity stops when I see the chute. Usually.
As for rotating squads..
I was the guy that hollered first and loudest about individuals following the vulch and side swapping; and claim responsibility for the initial 24 hour lock-down on side switching. Had a converstion w/ HiTech on line about this and squad hi-lights.. next day we had both.
I enjoy having 'guest squads' come to bishland. I especialy look forward to having the AK's come to Bishland; they work hard on their objectives; understand mutual support, can carry a tune on RW and have a damn good time. I have no objections to rotataing squads.. but I wasn't always so inclined. The AK's changed my mind.. last time they came to Bishland they did an honest good job for the country; and left any baggage they had behind when they came.
Likewise; we had the Buccanners over for tour; they too did damn fine work and I for one hope they come back soon; thats another quality group, they know the drill and showed us some stuff..
Tho the 'squad rotation' thing tends to rub some the wrong way; I think we oughta step back a bit and take a closer look at some of them. They seem to know more about 'nationalism' than some of the folks that have been in one country from the git-go.
There's room for both... I don't feel 'cheated' by staying in Bishland, and often; we become richer when a competent guest squad shows up to help us for awile. Even if it's only for a night, it can be a heluva lotta fun.. <S!> PFT!
In any case; to each squad that rotates.. thanks for helping when yah come to Bishland. When yah leave, yah sorry bums; I hope yer guns jam; but It was nice having yah, just the same. Should yah ever decide to settle down; hope ya bring it back to Bishland... I look forward to flying WITH you more than AGAINST yah. <S!>
