The Hellsplat lost its appeal to me after flying it in Hostile Shores last year... but it's had its FM tweaked since then, hasn't it?

Sounds like I may have to give it another chance. :)

See a pattern? ;)  Ironic part is, alot folks never heard of him.


Yup, Cuckoo is a good stick, and I'm always glad to see him nearby. Knits and Bish would disagree about the second part. ;)

Neat thing about Cuckoo is that I don't ever recall him using  channel 1. I've never heard him on the range radio either. He's a very low-profile guy, who stands out only in his skills. A quiet and highly efficient killer.

He'll have my respect if he can hold that #1 score with anything but the N1k, LA7 and Chog ;)

His bomber and GV rankings make him highly ranked overall.  Check out fighter stats and see what those ranked in front of him fly.

Yep, the Ostie is his primary GV. ;)

I'll give credit where credit is due:Personally, I could never even come that close in rank with his airplanes/GV's.. he's a damn good stick, so good that maybe its time he loses his crutches? ;)
