I need some of those.

I still need to get kills in an Ar234, C-47A, Chute and Ship Gunner this Tour.  3 of those could really use a manuever kill to help.

LOl the other day I was chasing a B26, staying behind him like 1.6 K while he was blasting his ammo away at me. I noticed that he was flying towards a mountain... So I stayed were I was on his six... SSSLLAAM! Right into that mountain! Luckily I pinged him once so I got the kill   :D

I have a problem with the P51B after I've been drinking.  I think it's the funky CG that causes me to depart low.  I suspect the increase in man. kills is mostly due to my alcoholism.  :D

Got another one last night.  I think it's the trees that are getting them in low altitude chases.

WTF, over?

i'm browsing the message boards for interesting looking posts, and saw "lawn darts".  thinking it's something pertaining to my small, yet semi-present squad(mates), i look in to find something different.  so...uh...nevermind.    :rolleyes:

by the way...IF any of you happen to see any of my squaddies...ask them where in the hell they've been lately, would ya?    :mad:

Tuck I hate to break it to you but your squadron did not invent the term lawn dart.  It's well known that Kurt Tank invented lawn darts.

If I see your deliquent squaddies I will spank them and send them to you!

 :)

PS another maneuver kill on lunch break today.

I know you didn't mean to imply that.  The Kurt Tank thing is kind of a standing joke around here.  If you hear that Kurt Tank invented something then you know it's roadkill, unless it's a Focke Wulf.   :)
