DOH....my first use of Perk plane a disaster
« on: December 21, 2001, 07:21:00 AM »
I am sure you guys will laugh at this one...

I only had like 19 Perk points, but decided I would use 8 of them to up in an F4C...I taxied out of the hanger at an airfield and headed for the tarmac for takeoff.  The only problem was that my taxi speed was way too high and my son distracted me at a crucial time...the result...I DITCHED the damn thing at the airfield....

SIGH.............

As Beck said "I'm a loser baby...so why don't you kill me!"

Oh yeah? Well I taxied a 262 right into a hangar wall!

Damn cat walked over my rudder pedals when I was taking off... side slip, lost all horizontal stability, hangar wall, "oh sh*t, stupid furbag!", sound of cat flying across the room into the door.

Atleast she suffered equal pain she gave me.   :)

can't tell you the number of times I've fubar'd a 262 into oblivion...

that I can remember:

one was a naked GF.. worth the 200 perkies
two were disco's
one was simply my dumb-ass running out of gas and ditching, only to have the allies capture it and disect it...

it happens

nothin beats what happened to me and hblair. we had 262's ready for take off. our only problem was that the field was in a valley. we roll, we lift off, then we smack the vally walls and break all of our gears  :( then we spend the next half an hour trying to get the thing to turn around so we can slowly power it back to the runway for a successful landing. didnt work...somebody came in and strafed us both  :(  200 perkies down the tubes

LOL.. :)

I finally accrued enough points for a 262..took about a month and a half or more. Didn't want to lose it the first sortie so I went up high and cruised around, looking for bombers inbound to knight fields.

Then I spotted a B26 a few thousand feet lower, proceeded to dive abit to pick up speed   :)  locked up the controls and ran into the back of said B26.   :D

Doh!! Oh Well, what's another couple months.    :p

Well I collided with a danged chute in 262 today.

Which begs the question:

How the shreck does a linen parachute disintegrate a blimey 262 for crying out really bloody loudly!!!!!!

Anyhow, i'm back to 100 danged perkies.

My first Arado flight ended when I dropped the eggs instead of using RATOs on takeoff. Oh ya...in probably my second 262 flight I was typing something to a squad member & didn't realize I hit <ENTER><ENTER><ENTER>

Imagine the suprise!!!!

One night decided I would take up a Tempest, I had just enough points.   Got tangled up in a mini furball, got one plane and lost a wing tip and a fuel leak.  Nurse the Tempest to the nearest field and landed just as the gas ran out.  Was strung out on that one so I took a little break and get a drink.  Came back and then I figure I'll take a Typhoon and go back to the same field and work over the ack.  

Check the hanger load some rockets and take off.   After a 5min flight I am the field, line up on the first ack emplacement, and go into a gentle dive.  I do a last minute ammo check to select my rockets and notice that the ammo counter says 300 not 280, ??...major puzzlement, why I ask myself does my typhoon have 300 rounds instead of 280.  As the ack starts firing at me I realize I am still in the Tempest, bang I'm dead
Oh the agony
