Sikboy... chest thumping is saying "Look at what we can do". That is exactly what Frenchy is doing. There is nothing wrong with it. As I said before, they do a remarkable job with a relatively unremarkable aircraft. While some people may think they are looking for attention (and maybe they are, who knows), I think they rightly deserve some. There are a lot of people who can't maintain a 1/1 KD in planes like the La7, P51D, or 190D9. The 56th maintains a better than 3/1 KD in the P47. I've had some great fights with them in the MA and the DA, and they are truly awesome pilots and people.
Pongo...
"a : of, relating to, or having the character of history b : based on history"
What do you think that is the defintion of? Thats right, historical. Do you or do you not think a group of pilots flying together in a P-47, having the squad name of the 56th FG "Zemkes Wolfpack" is related to, or has the character of history? To say nothing of being based on history.
Hell, my squad can't even claim that. Or maybe we can, I don't know what planes 3/JG2 flew.
