Over here mainly a F4U-1D, Spit V or Pony on occasion.

Over there 190's for a few years. Noobie in a 109F. Pretty much stuck to leather at WB. Too many goodguys, not enough badguys.

I sucked there too, but refused to be a wussie goodguy with thousands of others lining up for their Andy Griffith haircuts.

Learned the meaning of gangbang there. The only redeeming value being they looked reeeely silly with all those matching haircuts.. and they died real nice even up

First ride in an online sim was AH's P-38. I died, I also didn't know how the radio system worked and thought Channel 1 was the country channel.

Then I flew the 190 A-5 for a bit.
Then someone pointed out how good the La-5FN was (this was before La-7 came out).
Then I flew La-7 for a few months.
Then I flew Yak-9U and have done for almost a year exclusively, in air 2 air role.
I've flown the Tiffie through all that as Jabo.

Way way back in beta tour 1 I was a dedicated buff driver. 17's all the way. Even though they didna have guns yet

Every time I'd strap on a fighter I'd get my bellybutton handed to me so I'd climb back into the Boeing. LOVED it when the guns were finally added, made the wait worthwhile

'Round the end of Beta tour 2 I guess it was, Redstar started bugging me about fighters again, and got me into the C.205 and started teachin me how to handle the fighters.

Flew the hogs when they were added, and I remember the night pay to play went live with the -1C. Blue planes everywhere! Yep, I was a Chog dweeb for a bit.

Tried various birds looking for the "right" one. Pony, spits, La5, even the n1k (which I decided was easy mode).

When the -38 showed up I thought I'd found my ride. Flew it almost exclusively until 1.04 (or was it 1.03?) when they redid the flight models. Loved the guns, never needed the cannon, usually fired off all the 20mm as I climbed out. But it didna fit so well after the FM changes.

Bounced around a bit more, flew the LW birds a bit, revisited some others. Ended up with the -51D as my ride of choice. I still fly other birds for perks or a change of pace, but always come back to the ponies.

Though since the A-20 was added I find myself in it a good bit of the time now

started out in F6F and Ki61's (got 3 kills first time online with F6F then was a week before I got another lots of deaths inbetween)
then to 109 and 190's(took awhile to somewhat learn these)
then to la5 and yak's (good speed but low ammo)
now I only fly Japanese palnes all of them (most challenging to fly and survive in the Ki61 still kinda miffs me)

well, I started out in F4U-1D and the Spit IX/Seafire (seafire for CV ops.)

Spits are my favorite plane overall, and Hogs are my favorite US plane. so that's where I was coming from on that.

Ghosth introduced me to the speed of the La7, so I use that when I wanna go fast down low.

I started flying the Spit V a bit, and found I did better in it than the Spit IX, so I stuck with that. You'll find me in the Spit V more than anything, but I'll take other planes up as my mood changes.

I mainly fly in the TODs though, so more often than not I'm not picking my plane.

mostly Tiffie or Temp. Spit when I start feeling sorry for myself

Planes? You guys actually fly planes?
I thought this was a tank game!

The tiger sure is nice.
