It is FUN to fly. Imagine that!

No, honest.. it really is. I haven't flown much for the past month or so, but I flew a really great sortie today in a Spit IX. The plane is just fun to fly.. that is all there is to it. So next time you start to want to squeak about it, just forget all the crap about how '1337' you are and how you are too good to fly a Spitfire and just fly one a few times. I can almost guarantee you'll come out happier at the end of the sortie than you were at the beginning. Well, at least if you get a good fight or two under your belt ( ~~Supongo )~~

Completely agree with the above.

I've started flying the 9 and 14 a bit, and there are times that they make me laugh right out loud. If ANY E plane, and most the other angle fighters decide to turn with you, or make even the slightest error, you're ALL over them.

A Spit 9 with 3000 feet on anything is a hell of a lot of fun I must admit.

i feel like that, but only with the spit1. i feel nauseus flying the easymode-like spitv/ix

Spit 5 and 9's are the only plane I've ever really stuck with since I started and for the exact same reason.

I don't care about the spitdweeb coments etc as I'm getting kills and having fun in the process. I just find that they suit me best overall compared to any other aircraft. My prefrence though goes to the Spit5 and take the 9 for it's drop tanks on longer hops.

Amen, Urchin. Fly what's fun for you, and for me the Spit V is the most fun of any plane bar none. It seems to fit the way I fly perfectly.

Can you please define what's fun for you, spit drivers?

Toad · « **Reply #10 on:** June 16, 2002, 07:25:24 AM »

Yeah!

Those of you found having either unauthorized or unapproved fun in AH will have their account charges DOUBLED!

So you spit drivers better be real careful out there.

Remember, the ONLY legitimate, approved fun is carefully defined by some other player on his own personal webpage... or maybe it's just defined in his own head or something.

I prefer the Spit V for popping Hurricanes who think they can outturn any Spit.

Spits are fun. If the fields were closer together I would fly em... Oh wait, that's what happened in the war.. nevermind.

I've never met a spit that didn't try to HO me. Gee I wonder why.
