Was upstairs helping with dinner or something and suddenly my son (10 year old “sondog”) yells out. It was the kind of yell (so I thought at the time) that something was seriously wrong. I headed down stairs pretty quick and he was calling my name. When I came in the room he was sitting at his computer flying online. He burst out “I shot down Tbarone, and he is ranked #1!!!”. I quickly recovered from my desire to chew him out for yelling and responded with disbelief. He assured me it was true. I came close and saw he was flying the Yak with the 37mm. He gave me a quick recount of the dance and said Tbarone’s 109 went across his nose and he hit him with the 37mm in the cockpit. I told him that was amazing because I never beat Tbarone in a fair fight. ;) I think he grew about 2 inches right then and there. :)
My son is not real excitable, but that made his week. He will not forget this for a long time. He enjoys the AvA arena at times much like I do. I tell him many of the sticks are good and give me a spanking so when he gets someone (he knows many of the regulars by call sign) he always tells me about it. I tell him don't vulch in the AvA and to give check 6 calls when ever possible.
Tbarone for giving my son a good time. He does not type much, (pretty shy) and I tell him to stay off the local range vox channel, (I don’t want him to engage some of the more colorful and expressive players) and not to talk to anyone but a squadie. Nevertheless he listens and learns all the time.

Congrats sondog! Nice kill! :) Tbarone has turned into a pesky pilot indeed, rather difficult to kill nowadays. lol

sondog flew that very well. We were in a low speed scissors and I kept trying to cut under him but he kept dumping throttle and flaps the same as I was, he flew very well. Most people will get nervous and add throttle and I will get on them but he kept his cool and stayed in the fight. Sondog keep playing and I hope you enjoy the game as much as I do.:aok

WTG sondog!!
But espcially wtg dadog and Tbarone...
dadog for good parenting... I love it when parents encourage their kids and when they teach them to be polite and well behaved!!
Tbarone for beeing humble enough to appriciate the good flying of an enemy even if it was a 10 year old and not going "omfg I got owned by a 10 year old and need to find an excuse".

A most excellent diggit to all of the above.
I note in passing that I find nothing unique in getting owned by people younger than I am.

So Daddog - when you gonna let ur son post here on the forums? ;)
-
What an awsome story !!
Sundog,, now I know why you don't talk when others call out to you;)
-
I was there when he did it. Great job sondog!
-
WTG Sondog! :aok
I hope you enjoy also flying over the Karelia terrain! I don't want to meet you in the air if you fly with the russian fighters... ;)

:)
Thanks guys. I will show him this thread tonight. I know he will enjoy reading it. As for posting on HTC BB... in time. Right now I limit him to our squad BB.
Ya Kong he has worried in the past about not talking when some talks to him, but I tell him to stay out off the range channel. I can't be with him everytime he plays and at his age it is best IMHO he just stays quiet.

The Force is strong with young Sondog.:noid
-
WTG Sondog.
I would also like to add my to Tbarone. He is always a good fight and more importantly a class act.
-
So, when does Sondog fly? I need someone to keep Tbarone off my 6!
-
LOL you and me both!
Assuming all chores are done I let him fly Wed nights, (no home work that night) also Friday after school Sat and Sun. Having said that some times mom over rules us both and she sends him to bed. ;)
He does not fly as much as he would like to, but then again neither do I. ;)

WTG sondog

I can only shoot down Tbarone if I (a) vulch him (b) HO him (c) get him typing and distracted :D
