Title: Aviation Lies... Starring Straiga
Post by: Bodhi on February 12, 2005, 09:11:45 PM
This post is dedicated to the lies that Straiga has been caught in so far.

#1  =  My father is a General, no wait, he's a colonel!

Straiga states on 07-02-2003 09:45 AM:

Mjolnir Are you retired or active duty airforce? What did you fly? Im not shure of IRL. My dads ret U.S.A.F. Col he flew in nam 100 mission F-105 with the 12th TFS out of Kadena and 469th TFS in Tailand. His last airplane was the F-111 with the 428th and 442nd out of Nellis. Then he went on to Wing 474th.

Well I just spoke to my dad about this he just laughed. Hes a retired Major General USAF with 1200 hrs F-4 time 106 mission in the F-105 and F-4 over N. Vietnam. He told me on rdy alert they used to start the engines and put the throttles in full burner. After the engines would spool all the way up they would go into burner and release the brakes and get it air. He did the same thing in an F-111.

Well thats # 1.  Let's see what else he has lied about.

I don't think that we need another thread for this, there are two on the go right now and it's tough enough to figure where to post between the the two of them.  What's more the other two are still working within the rhelm of possiblities, where theis one might be seen as an out and out personal attack.

It's not an attack.  

It is his own words that are used to confront him.

I think the most ... peculiar fact is that Straiga has been around since 2003 and just NOW tells us he's got hours in the P-51 (500 no less!) and the B-17. Now, Straiga doesn't come across as the humble kind of guy ... more like an arrogant know-it-all with an ego that far outstrips his intelligence.

     Well I have 0 time in the F-4, but I've seen dozens launch...
amd the brakes come off well before you engage burner.  Just
look for the clouds of black smoke as they
start rolling, then you hear the burners light.

     It's been 21 years since I got out, but I remember vaguely a
pilot telling me that the Phantom brakes would not hold the bird
on afterburner.  Not to mention it would be a massive waste of
fuel to light burners without accelerating anyway.

Yup.  Old Navy friend told me that the F4D Skyray was the first of the Navy planes on which the brakes wouldn't hold the plane at full power.  "That moose would just take you down the deck, blow your tires, keep on going" is what I recall him saying.  I'm sure the Phantom had much more power.

If you tell the truth, then there is no need for you to fear being called on what you state.

Straiga made statements, Toad and I called him on it, now he has hidden.

All I ask is that he tells the truth.

Plain and simple.  

I mean come on, he's already lied once about his father being a retired general, but oh wait, he's a retired colonel in a nother thread.

Sheesh, wtf is wrong with him to have him lie about his Dad...

A real man would own up and say, yes, I lied, then ya know what, that'd be the end of it.  Instead, he disappears, kinda like someone else.

Own up to the first lie Straiga, and tell the truth about the rest, and I'll drop it.  Until then, I absolutely refuse to.

This all reminds me of a guy I once knew who said he was a former Navy Seal.  There was a website that is run by current Navy Seals that posts the name of guys who have lied about being one - his name was there.   Maybe we need one for guys who have lied about real life flying? :D

Bodhi, Storch et al.: the hard thing about the internet is that you can hide behind your keyboard.  If Straiga has truely flown a P-51, or a B-17, I'm sure he can photocopy his log book with his entries and the dates. Every decent pilot has a log book to track flights and hours.  Heck, I'm not even a pilot anymore and I still have a log book kicking around somewhere in my house (I think).

Anyways, ego aside, if someone calls you a liar, pants on fire, it's up to him to put it out. He's gotta prove:

a) He's a pilot with proper classifications to fly these vintage aircraft. Scan of his licence maybe?
b) He can take a single sheet ouf of his log book and email it to anyone.
c) Most important, post pictures of his adventures in these planes.

Seriously, the single biggest proof of anyones experiences, especially in AH, are bragging rights about having flown this and that. Heck, even HiTech has a picture of his P-51 flight on the website (or is it Pyro's)?

Where are Straiga's pictures?  Every male in the world would bring pictures of their trips in aircraft and post them to brag about it.   Apart from the log books, licences, a single picture would shut everyone up.  Even pictures of his dad would be amazing!   For any ego, no big or how bad it is, if Straiga can prove his experiences, kudo's to him.  But letting everyone bash about what 'may be a lie', well, if it was me, I'd be in here with pics, charts, and log books faster than a fat kid on a Mars bar.

So, everyone quiet for a second, let Stragia post his pictures....

     Yeah, the USAF doesn't use that many boats ;).  The F-4Es
I worked on had 34,000 lbs of thrust at afterburner what trivia you remember>.  I did have a fascinating experience
while standing "road guard" during an afterburner trim.  The
trim pad exhaust crossed a road, so we had to make sure no
vehicles tried crossing while the plane was running.

     The air inside my chest vibrated, even with my hands holding
my chest, was a freaky thing to feel.  As an aside, we had to
hook the bird up to a collar using the tail hook to keep the plane
on the pad.  The collar was buried/attached to a huge concrete
pad.

Never ceases to amaze me how a lot of people act in ways on-line they never even would contemplate irl.

Well, I have probably more than 500 hours stick time in the P-51... in AH. Maybe that's what he meant?

But, I have been inside an airworthy B-17! Ok, it was on the ground but I have a beautiful picture of me manning one of the waist guns. And I once touched a real Bf-109E ;)

I wonder why these people make suchs outrageous claims. The guy seems pretty knowledgeable, and if he would  have made a less outrageous claims I bet not many would have doubted him. Then again, maybe these people get their kicks from getting busted.

What you guys have to understand is, it is just a game. Some ppl here feel the need to impress others with there skills. I have known Straiga for about two years roughly, he is one of those ppl. You just have to laugh it off. First time I ever flew against Straiga was when he was a knit and I was a Rook, me and my wingy put him, and Bobby down, while flying over USAgirl blasting away at us on the ground in a FLAK. He got so mad he started with the trash talking, which ended up with him telling me how he is a far better pilot than he is. How he is an EX F-14 driver, and EX Top-gun instructor. Now I am just a little flight instructor at a flight school in Atlanta, if these things were true then he would be a far better stick than I could ever hope to be. Thus he won the argument and I just got lucky. I laughed this off becuase in a matter of an hour I sent him down in flames four more times before he got upset and logged.
 Fast forward a year, he has now joined rooks, and took most of his squad with him. I fly with them sometimes, and we have become pretty good friends, he told us how he used to work for eastern airlines, and how he is going to be flying for Delta soon. It is just babble. He ended up having his squad break up over this stuff, and I flew with USA Girl and Bobby untill AH2 when they quit.
 Point it, there are alot of ppl in AH that like to tell tall tales, just like in real life. Go to any bar and you are sure to find someone there willing to tell you any number of tall tales. You guys just have to let this go. Look past the stupity of it all and move forward. If he plays AH and is an ok stick in the game and is not a compleat ass, then I could care less what he does in real life, or did for that matter.

Well thats all very good but when he posts and tries to back his statements claiming stick time in various aircraft, then he had best be for real.
Problem is it's looking very unlikely.

In which case he had best stop using a keyboard.

I hate to think how much COAD time HT has lost reading and responding to his posts.

FWIW, The FB-111 (specifically the A model) could use the brakes to hold the airplane still on the runway while in afterburner.  I've seen many of the 509th BW FB-111A's out of Pease AFB (and local New England airshows) do this everytime they took off.  This was back in the day (early '90's and prior).   One time, I saw an FB-111 hold on the numbers in afterburner for over 1 minute awaiting take-off clearance (Manchester NH, in 1988).  I'll have to dig up the photos from this show.

Most people wouldn't care anything about whether Straiga is a liar or not. Well, I imagine those who are actual F-14 pilots and those who own warbirds might be pissed since those are pretty exclusive 'clubs'.

But he uses his lies as evidence of his expertise (for the most part in irrelevant whines about stupid stuff such as 'AH doesn't model real modern auto pilots'.

Just read his threads.

He will show back up in a few months under a different shade telling tall tales. Just keep an eye out.

Does it matter though? One squeeky wheel telling HTC how to run the game? I mean anyone who has flown a plane in real life can argue that AH FM is screwed up, does that make it any less fun? Hell no. So let Straiga make up all the stories he wants, I doubt it will change anything. You guys cant be getting all bent out of shape over this crap...it is a waist of time. We could all be busy talking HTC into adding a B-25 to AH, or a malcolm hooded P51 he he ;)

Kegger26: Yes it maters.

One thing if a totaly unkowledgable person wants to tell me somthing is inconcrect. I can respond and that can be the end of it.

Now if some one wants to claim, (my pet peave on the subject) and Aeronatical engerning degree, and then wants to tell me the physics are incorect. Well I have to respond more prescisly, can't even ingnor it, because other people would belive the credentials. Hence the rumor spreds, and does damage to my buissness. So hell yes it maters.

And btw I do not belive that tail of his degree either. Manly because any other eng. I have ever met can converse with me on a technical level.  Straiga didn't even have a language in common to talk about any subject.

 It's all part of his roleplaying as a dysfunctional ******* in an online game?

Well.  Obviously I can't speak for anyone else here but I'm just knee slapp'n, rofl like a giddy kid about it all! Hot damn, man if that guy Straiga aint gonna to be the next Don Rickles

 Honestly?  Sorry but bzzzt. Wrong answer.

 You're "boy" is a lying arnold with "issues" and IMO if you stand close to him you'll catch his perma-stink too.

Post by: Kegger26 on February 15, 2005, 02:30:05 PM
Ok let me clear a few things up, first off he is not "my boy". I am not defending him, as I said in my post you have to just laugh off his claims, becuase they are BS. I at no time gave any credit to his claims, I simply said it really isnt a big deal. So next time maybe you should take the time to fully read and understand my post before responding to it.
Hitech, in hindsight how you explained this whole thing to me, you are right. It does create a problem for you. I do not own a major computer game company so I lacked the insight to under stand your veiw on this. Thank you for clearing it up for me. If any of us here have the right to get upset over all of this it is you. I simply was sharing my views on how I deal with Straiga, and his stories. This however does not apply to you. However as for the rest of the group here I feel it does.
 Look we all know he is full of crap. No one here is doubting that. But I ask you what good is it doing to stand around yelling and pointing about it? In two weeks do you think it is going to change anything? I doubt it. So I say we just srug it off and move on. We do this all the time with guys like Shane and the like. I think we can find better things to do with our time is all I am saying.

I once slipped and almost fell in an slick spot from oil that dripped out of an engine that had been in a plane made to look like a real Japanese zero!  Does that count for anything?  :)  I took a picture of it too!  (The plane, not the oil spot.  Though come to think of it, at least the oil was real.  The plane was as real as easy cheese.)

I have flown a Yak 52WT, a guy I know on the feild owns one. Though I sould point out, I was in the back seat, I didnt take off or land the thing. But I did have the stick for the three hour flight from PDK to RIC. As for being close to some sort of real war bird, the Air Zoo in Kalmazoo MI has dozens of flying WWII aircraft. Check it out some time.
 As for AH flying, I have made landins in AH I could only dream about in real life. The thought of flying into bad weather makes me sick, yet I have flow a P-51 150 miles back to base missing half of one wing in AH. If only I could fly like that in real life.

Moral of the story, HT's correct, having a bit of paper or some photos doesn't mean squat.  If you make a claim but then can't walk the walk, or even talk the talk, you're better off not making any claims at all.  If you do and the community believes the rubbish you spout, it's all bad.  :cool:

I find those that are real pilots are ussually quite( I'm a pilot  or at least was when I flew) . About aircraft behaviour in general not  FM performance issues I've been in quite a bit of those :D


I have to tell HTC something  the last time I flew back in Feb 03 I hadn't flown in about a year prior and when I entered the Cessnaand we flew around doing maneuvers and landing, the CFI gave me quite some  commendation that I've retained some of my flying ability and that I hadn't slipped, or made any mistakes while flying.

You know what helped me stay "current".... Aces (and the arses :D )High.

     I cannot even imagine why someone would use burner for a
minute sitting on the runway.  You use 3 times the fuel in burner
that you use in Military.  I only saw 111s on one occasion as
Moody was a bit out of the way for those guys, the ones I saw
were from Mountain Home.  Maybe they have better brakes than
the Phantom? :)

     I admit to being very confused as to why a pilot would pop
burner before getting clearance as well, just seems very
dangerous as well as wasteful.

     Of course that procedure maybe an airshow thing, and other
than the one Open House I saw, we were working for a living:D

This reminds me of an engineer I worked with for a few years (before he was fired). He claimed to have gone thru Seal training in the late 1980s. He had lots of stories to tell. However, I have several friends who were Seals and they never heard of him.

So, about six months after he started working for us, he was assigned to go with me down to Little Creek. I was working with a client who had developed a sophisticated electronic system that counts rounds fired from weapons. It date and time stamps each round, and via miniature magnatometers, can provide azimuth and angle data as well (You can find them on the web by searching for "accu-counter).

Our assignment was to instrument any and all weapons the Seals provided. This means attaching several accelerometers and recording recoil, bolt shock and resonant noise. So we test fired all manner of weapons, such as the MP-5, M4, M243, M60 and so on. We also brought along several weapons belonging to the client, including an H&K G91, M16A2 and a brace of Berettas (96D and 92).

During our lunch break, we sat around and chewed the fat with the Seals. I couldn't resist asking my associate to tell the guys about his Seal adventures....

Well, he went as pale as if I had just walked on his grave. Suddenly, the truth came out. It seems he was stationed at Norfolk, shuffling papers as the assistant Personnel Officer. That's where he had met some Seals. His stories were just stories. And he was scared chitless that these guys would take offense.

Later he asked me why I had put him on the spot like that. I told him seeing him squirm was the sole reason.

Talking with one Seal CPO, he told me that claiming to be a Seal is something they see all the time. He laughed loudly as I explained that I thought exposing him then and there would cure his baloney.

It didn't... He found new things to lie about.

My regards,

Widewing

Rino though I've passed the courses on the F-111 for avionics technology I'm not real sure about holding brakes for that long while in full AB. I'll ask my Pro super tomorrow considering he crewed one for quite a few years.  I know that the F-15s can't even hold brakes for very long before the bird wants to roll in full AB.  I'll be sure to ask the question though on the F-111s tomorrow morning since I gotta be in for an early launch anyway.

Kegger any reason for the Pair o Dice patch?

Having lived in Coronado for a few years, you quickly learn how to tell the real SEALS from the wannabes.  The real SEALS are the ones that sit in the back table of McP's drinking their beers, while the wannabes are sitting at the bar surrounded by people while they tell their "war stories".

I read somewhere that Jessie Ventura was a SEAL. It's funny, as bombastic as he was, he never said anything about it himself. I looked on the SEAL website that outs fake SEALs, Jesse isn't listed as a fake.

One of my best friends has a nephew who IS a SEAL. The guy is as quiet and reserved as anyone you'll see. He's a member of either Deka or Delta, and has been out so many times and for so long that he passed the requirement for rotating out, and now must stay out of the SEALS and stay "home" for as long as 2 years. It's killing him, he desperately wants to be out with his unit serving his country. I watched a video that Deka and Delta made about their deployment in Afghanistan last year, to show their families. Words fail me.

My understanding was that Jesse was part of some sort of UDT team that had some affiliation to the SEALS, so it's kinda sorta that he was a SEAL.    It's also up in the air as to his involvement in Vietnam as apparently the unit's activities were hush hush although it's more then likely they were doing things in the area.

Jesse Ventura joined the Navy after high school and served for six years — four on active duty, two in the Reserves — and is a Vietnam veteran. While on active duty, he was a member of Underwater Demolition (SEAL) Team 12. He returned to Minnesota in 1973.

According to Golfer he is refusing to post because he's above all the petty 'prove it' calls. So he is very much alive.

Quote
Straiga who are [is] a little more headstrong, less of a 'people pleaser' who will take to the attitude of "Why should I prove myself" just for the sake of a BBs community.


Even though all along its been Straiga who uses his 'life experience'; and his 'engineering degree'; and his '500 hours in a P-51'; and his 'B-17 stick time'; and his fact that his father is either 'a retired Colonel, Major General or full General' to show HT and the rest of us idiots how beyond reproach his 'opinions' are. It's only natural that get upset and storm off when folks question his claims. At the very least there's chance of indentity theft should he offer any evidence. He may even get 'stalked'.

A man of that caliber can't be bother with us low lifes. That would just take time away from valid issues like the fact AH2 doesn't model a real modern auto pilot system, or that aircraft that lose their tail fall into the ground the wrong way, or that on auto take off the ailerons move.

With grand pressing issues such as those he just doesn't have time to waste on silly things like proving his claims.

I guess he is just 'showing all of us' by refusing to post at all. Golfer believes him and that should be good enough for the rest of us...
