Is that before or after you've prayed to the Porcelain Goddess?

We came to that conclusion after his 1st 20,000 posts......the counters were reset some time last year I think.

over 280.000 ft MA, during convention last year when 163 was open on the carrier.
Nothing to see there, blue, blue and blue around.

No i not saw sputnik and any other UFO;)

42.5k in a P-47D-30 in the MA couple years ago on the original map with the big mountain in the middle. I had gone AFK on climbout and forgot the game was still running. When I came back I was like 8 sectors behind the front line. A lone 109 came after me--I think it was Hazed--and he started going off on channel 1 about how high I was. I started BnZing him down at 30k then returning to my perch. I don't remember shooting him down on that occasion. Compression was too much of a problem at that altitude.

You see I figured Rip out after he "bought" the BMW - he's really an Airbus Industrie mole at Boeing and his job is to reduce productivty in their design shops. I hear he is largely responsible for the A380 beating Boeing to the punch in the superjumbo market. And thats why they gave him the nice european car as a reward.

Naw Grun, it would have been a Peugot then.

Played with the wind settings offline, managed to get a 109G10 over 100,000 before WEP ran out. Of course, the fun part was bailing at that altitude.

Germany is part of the syndicate....

I'm tellin you its the plain truth about Rip, he's an Airbus agent. Lets not forget he was a JG2 luftwhinie in the past but all of sudden became a marine pilot, very convenient cover, wouldnt you say?

5k above the ground is plenty. why risk a nosebleed... besides... when you go up high there is no one any good to fite with.

I got to 67000 feet in a heavy lancaster once. I had started my climbout from a back field and went to run some errands. I forgot about it and when I came back, the thing was that high and still climbing at an astonishign rate of 1.5K a minute.
