Is this the ultimate in stunt flying or the ultimate act of a dweeb that took ack hugging just a little too far

Hi All,
At last my name in lights.......

And you thought flying through the Hanger was clever.........  

Seriously, I stayed logged on long enough for Revvin to get these shots (I think Bee got some too).

This should really be in the Bugs forum (I'll post there as well).

The Story,

I logged on after downloading the new version and went straight from A1 to A6 for defense. Took off in Spit flew around for a bit saw plenty of dots and despite Radar telling me I was within around 2,000 yds of other planes I could not see any icons (Just Dots). Revvin mentioned a Spit wing was in the tower @ A1 and later asked how I had landed on the roof without crashing.

Anyway I landed and went for something to eat (Stayed logged on).

Returned after about 45 mins and someone shouted for a goon to 46. I grabbed a goon and set off on my way. Then BEE comments on my nice landing in the tower in my goon. After a joke or 2 I carried on towards 46 and thought nothing else of it, approaching 46 I was "Buzzed by a Con" (Dar showed it as the Enemy). He flew straight past (No more than 100ft (F4U) and flew off, hands shaking I landed the goon dropped off the troops and took the field. All this time the con was circling 46 looking for cons (46 was flattened). After taking off and heading back to A6 I noticed the cockpit beacon was red and awaited the inevitable "Host connection lost" message. It never came. I assume now it was always red. I approached A6 passed a few friendlies (Close enough to regognise the aircraft type), but no icons I don't think they even saw me.

After landing I checked some shots of me in the tower had been taken by Bee & Revvin and logged off.

After hitting Quit I went back to the Arena Select screen (As usual) and was presented with a "Could not connect to Host" message. Somehow I assume the game thought I had not connected but my FM thought I had, Curious.....

Tried to duplicate it later but couldn't, I didn't shoot anyone down (Or get shot down so don't know if my ammo would have been effective in a Dogfight).

Nice to fly a goon with a "Cloaking device" though).  

TTFN

Lol snafu when I find a way to post some pics I'll do so... got some pretty funny ones...

I logged on and behold... As I'm sitting in the tower of 1 Suddenly a goon appears right in the tower...   I scan around and finaly even manage to climb into the goon cockpit  ... pretty funny a goon splitting the tower in two at 5 yards in the air  

Was pretty funny to watch Snafu <S>

PS: hehehe must have been cool flying that 'cloaked' goon
