WideWing, AGJV, and Whels are the closest anyone has come to picking the 'best' out of the pack. Let me explain.
To me, the best pilot is not necessarily flying all the time. The 'best' is a guy that has great fortune in coming across situations that demand his presence. He CAPs the CV as needed. He buffs fields into submission. He's the guy that manages to get through the goon hunters to capture a field. He goons HQ until dar comes back up. He's the guy that lawn darts his 262, because he's saving the goon from that Niki, and that means getting vertical too close to the ground. He's the guy that suicides in order to knock out that last remaining Flak at the VH for the reset. He's the guy that offers up a right after his fallen prey has sent him an on channel 1. He's also the guy that sends a WTG to nearly every team member, and a lot of enemies too.
Who is he? You tell me. I know we have a lot of these guys flying for Bishops, and I them all. They may not be ranked, but they do their job.
