Last night some members of the 56th and I uped a 5 plane jug sorty....We survived several hordes and Executed Textbook Wingman Tactics.... Originally I wasnt planning on making it back home in one piece, but once I saw that we were all halfway through the sorty I began to think:
"Holy S***, mayb I'll make it home for once."
We all decided to RTB with our kills as the Furball was intensifing and we were getting low on go-go juice. I saw a lone Lanc on the Deck and decided to make a single pass on it and then continue home. Right as I got the Lanc Blukitty and the others gave me like 4 chk 6's.... Golly-gee spixteen on my arse as i was zooming back up...
Exact words that came outa my mouth were:
Mutha F***a, lemme tha F*** alone!! you F***ing peice of S***!! I tried deperately To shake this lil a-hole. Revesals, Flatspins, overshoots, u name it nothing... Just then I got wounded and I sed "aww F***!, there goes the sorty" I started to blackout and then I heard myself get hit some more and then a loud booM!....
As I recovered from the BlackOut I see Blukitty Flying WingTip to Wingtip on my right side,and all she said was:
"lol it was Peiper again :]"
as i RTB'ed on the deck next to her while the other 3 were flying high cover, all I could think of was, wow... she's my Guardian Angel :lol
I know it sounds Corny Now but that's Exactly while I was thinkin...which brings me to the Question:
If you could have One Person to Clear your 6 and you know they Would'nt Miss no matter wat kind shot it is, who would it be??
-
Last night was insane !!! So much fun!!!! and ill have to agree blu is a darn good wing:aok
-
Too many to say but I'd pick........
Pawz
Then Trikky, Batfink, Coach, Filth, WyattUrp, Dantoo, Who7, Teuful, Wingzero, Nhawk, bear76, Gewhr, Capera...........the list goes on......................

i dont have any 1 person in particular but pretty much any of my old army of muppet and most wanted buddies..
favs being mwhun, morph, and xj

Man looks like I missed out on a lot of 56th fun last night! Had to play a gig so I spent the night in a bar full of drunks instead.
As for current players I would have to say either Blukitty or Yucca after watching them fly over the last couple weeks.
If we're talking about all the folks I have ever flown with, I would have to say an old time 56th flyer named Frenchy. Ain't seen Frenchy in quite a while, but that cat could fly a Jug better than any I have seen.

Damn, way too many to name.. 13th TAS were always well organized, something which I've never been; lack the patience :D Anyway most of the seasoned vets have excellent aim and have quite OCCASIONALLY cleared me, and I'm sure they'd easily attest to that :D, could be due to my suicidal missions..
-
too many too name. just remember, your doing all the work:)
-
Ill have to say to many as well.
I know the one you DONT want and thats me....I have kill shot myself so many time trying to clear a freindly. I'm great at shooting the green planes.:lol :D
-
Easy.
Knuckels:aok

CTAI01

i love winging with batfink, redtop, snaphook, schutt, tedrik, and few non-squaddies as well. always good fun, always great wingies :)
and RT, be quiet, you're a great wingy you dweeb :p
-
I'd have to say Joedog31, If he's not around I would trust any of my squadies. the only problem is, clearing my six usually takes alot of ammo due to the fact that there always seems to be more than one after me.
-
Drex, Leviathn or Fester....
They never miss.
My regards,
Widewing
-
Creton, Airsys or Warkat.. :D
-
Any of my Squad mates are exceptional wingy's!
KillnU
Kappa
Fester
GBall
hell even SkyChimp! :D
-
To name a few I would have to say I feel like superman when I go up with Yukon, Gavin, KillnU, the 80th, 475th, and Not.
I also would like to add that wingzero seems like he would be a great wingy for me. Everytime I get into it with whoever is flying with him he always seem to save them :rolleyes: :mad: :lol
-
My lil' brother.....Jish, no doubt.
-
I can trust any of my squadies to steal my kills and clear my six.
-
Back in the AW days I had a guy named +Mako flying my wing to begin with. He got me out of trouble all the time.
But consistantly over the last 10 years, it's been Delirium who has cleared my tail through all kinds of scenarios and arena play both in AW and then in AH. There are individual flights over those years I can still remember like yesterday where we got out of jams we should not have with him clearing my tail. When you get to wing consistantly it can get to be second nature almost.
He's been not flying for a bit which means I die more often.
Soulyss has done a heckuva job flying wing lately when we get the chance.
Any number of guys in the 80th or 475th can fly a mean wing too.

Any one from the Damned or has been Damned. Specially Joker.
CorkyJR, Stiletto, Ack-Ack, Silat, NKL5, Arlo, Culero, MailMan ( -)MLM--), -SB-, -MZ-, and Kumori
If they came back ...
Moggy, Mage, Blesk, Dead Duck, Lemure, Boa, Dragon, Rapier, Claymore, Bass, Old 33rd and ACCS Members.

Batfink flying wing for shaphook , is a deadly combo .
SkatSr also very good .
-
My squaddies shoot me down more than help me:(

GRIM

leviathn is the worst wingman ever, i winged him once i got 2 kills he got 11. :mad:
-
Theres a lot of peopel who I know could get the job done but the person i trusted most was my wingman: MiamiAce

ya, del is a great wingman. aside from the fact that he flies well, he has great SA. when i think of great wingmen, i think lethal aim, and more importantly the communication aspect. when i fly with guys like del or yukon i'm always sure that if i don't see something, they will, and they will let me know. same is true for pawz and silat is always a good one as well. i think with the 80th, since it is my squad, and i'm sure others will say the same for their squad, that once you fly with a bunch of guys for awhile you kinda get a feel for what everyone is doing. i remember one fight yukon, then lazer, and i where otd fighting in FT in p40s. prolly one of the funnest fights i remember in a long time, just him and myself skimming the water, red everywhere....we got our fair share before dying in a blaze of glory:)
i know i'm squad biased, but the 80th has some really great wingies. i've flown most with the guys i've mentioned above, but i would trust my virtual cartoon life to any one of them:) a good wingman should be a good pilot in general, with lethal aim, cunning acm, good communication and unwavering SA:)

But, how many of those 11 were shot off of your six? ;)

My boy Kazaa!!!!
When us 2 get in the zone the 10 plus red dots better be carrying a change of underwear. Had so many great furballs with us dominating.
He isnt the best tactical wingman as he gets excited after drinking a can of coca cola but usually means he is in deep and we end up having to drag ourselves out of a big hole. ;)
Wouldnt have it any other way though some of the most exciting fights i've ever had bailing him out of the chit!

i think 13, if you count the two i stole as they were falling wingless.
-
Coors. We've winged since early AW days and do not have to speak in order to take care of each other. He's rarely if ever out of position.
Others that are terrific, Kappa, Gball(I loved wingin w/ Gball, almost as much as Coors. We'd always have great success) KillnU ! Frenchy, Tango, skatsr, Shawk(he is very vocal on vox as he watches for threats)
Leviathn is a blast to fly with but not just as a wingie. He usuallly is so damned funny(laughing at all the bad guys dropping like flies around him) on vox that I don't care if we live or not. His enjoyment and laughter are infectious.
-
If lately is any indication, Nomde and Platan0 are great wingmen. Been getting me home, all of us with kills quite a bit in the last few days.
Dan (CorkyJr/Guppy35) is a great wingman, Raptor is top notch, Del, Gavin, Fencer51, Boozer, all great guys to team up with.
I especially like it when you call "RTB, damage" or whatever and look over your shoulder- and theres your wing man on the high perch, covering your butt and getting you home. :aok
-
No one clears my 6, they tend to watch me die while laughing.
-
:rofl
its TRUE!!! just thinking about it makes me laugh!
:D

His account is still active, and he'll still fly from time to time. However, he's just turned 17 and gotten his driver license, so don't except to see much of him.:)
-
When i was in a sqaud lucky7s was the most fun to wing with. We could go into 6 vs two odds and come out banged up really good but alive most of the time.
Anyone know what happened to him?
-
id have to say without a doubt 3046277 :D

TAXI!

Any 80th, kappa, skatSR, Killnu
and I forgot who fester is...:D

Of course when you go into a brawl with Lazer, next thing you know, you are laughing, he's laughing, the 38s are smoking and the bad guys are falling.
I just don't get any kills when he's around, but I live much longer :)
He and Soulyss in particular, although any of the 80th will do it, follow me low into the crowd without a complaint:aok
-
well it is a she..thank gawd we cleared that up :P
-
i can honestly say that i use the WHOLE arena that i'm flyin in as wingmen....i cant count on alot but for the majority i can, i can go over, kick up a hornets nest and make a run for it draggin like 50 red guys behind me and yellin " HELP " the whole time and someone will swoop in and help me....a few ppl that can verify this is danodano, kermit, tecninex, hibbler, shaunbn, matter of fact, ALL my squadies have witnessed my " wingman " tactics..hehe
but if i were to choose anyone to wing up with, most deffinatly would b any of the 56th fighter group, and any of my squadies, any of the headhunters, any of the army of puppets. ok, too big of list but yall get the point :)
-
Anyone in JG44......except Doobs. He'll wait until the bad guy has used all his ammo on you, killed you and is RTB and then swoop in for the kill. He does try to make you feel good about though, telling you he "got" the guy that got you.
The red headed mullet is good for that. Must be a Jersey thing???:D
JK Doobs can be a good wingman when he has had the proper intake of Jack Daniels, he just sucks when he's sober.
-
Good thread..If i had to pick a tight situation wingman it would be Shift.
HAven't seen him in a few years..i guess all that RAF training has kept him busy.
BTW..Shift is Tilt's teenaged son.:t
-
Would be trikky for me, only person I've been seriously winging with as dantoo doesn't fly much fighters. (sorry straffo and fellow FR people)
-
If I was flying again online I choose Karaya, Shoulman and any of the CAF...
Falcon
-
I would say shawk, long time vet with really good acm skills. Always love to up with elevenk, and sometimes we can rake up the kills.
I have been flying by my self lately so i guess i need to start brushing up on my wing man tactics.
For anyone that hasn't winged with shawk you should. One of the more vocal players on range vox and you always get a laugh out of the flight. Man he can call out those cons...
-
any of my squadies , Midnight, skatsr(saved me sooo many times) Tango(saves me alot 2) kobru cardenas , and the list goes on and on, these guy are great with wingman tactics
-
There are many. Snaphook and MtnMan made a brutally effective team last night. Excellent communication and support. MtnMan even landed a 14 kill streak which is the highest I have personally seen to date (I think he did rearm so likely not one sortie). You also get a call as in "I'm critical on fuel and need to RTB, does anyone need any help?" which translates to "I'll stick around and run out of fuel if someone needs help."
Venom
-
Any regular 367th pilot
especially jimbeam, cooley or kev367th.
-
Outside of my own Squad...
Hands down, "Alpha81" of VF 15 Satan's Playmates....and...."Hooter" of course for clearing the six of my Panzer.

Muahahahah

I can honestly say that I'd wing with any of the Blue Knights. They all are excellent wingmen worthy of mention.
Except for Hub.

Even Grits?:huh

I'd have to say SHawk.
But he wouldnt be asking for me to thank him...he's thank me for being such AWESOME bait!
-
I have ALWAYS matched up good with OddCAF.
Others that come to mind are: cav58d, MI, UKnoMe, SkyRock (I'm usually the bait), KillnU (or that Balor guy), FTSeeker, Angry (he really IS Angry), xbrit, Boxboy28 and even Chi. Raptor because we both were in 38's and I lost an engine, still got 2 kills, and rtb'd. His was fine and he probably flew close to a sector to make sure I wouldn't get jumped. I never asked him to do that, but he put forth the trust. The entire 80th HH's are stand-up gents, as are Hell's Angels and the AK's.

Wilddog1- best 6 clearer there is.You drag'em he'll bag'em!
-
Chaingun :aok

karaya used me as bait once........
wait......
more than that : )
-
Aka, Deth7,LippyCH and Bronk...hell any damage or stomper. 68's are good at watching your back too.

Not me.
I well remember diving my Mossie after a Tiffie that was on a friendly P-38's tail. At about 400 yards I pull lead and open up with my batter of fou cannons and absolutely drill the P-38 at about 800 yards with one of the finest examples of long range shooting while pulling a lead I have ever done, blowing my Mossie apart via killshooter.
As I float down in the chute I watch the Tiffie demolish the P-38.

was that like the time us JG54 guys caught you guys forming over one of you fields and beat the winginess out you?
-
Lazerus. He doesn't miss, he'd always be in an A8 (4 cannons make bad guy go BOOM), and he wouldn't get ticked off when I could never seem to return the favor :(
(My aim sucks)
-
As many here have stated it can be along list. Certainly blukitty is probably about as good a gaurdian angle as you'll find. I've fought with or against just about everyone mentioned here. RedTop posted a thank you a few days ago to the 56th for letting a few of us tag along (TR, Bat, MntMan, myself and one or two other 71st). As someone mentioned above Red, MntMan,elad and I flew a few hops last night with reasonable effect....yet red and I were discussing just how impressive the 56th is...talk about a bunch who's got its $#!^ wired tight.
Truthfully I'm often the weight that drags the 71st down. I was flying of the big island early a few days ago. Red comes on squad vox asking if the DAR dot was me....yup.
How are you?
Good
What do you have...
I'm at 10 with a spitty and ki-84 on me....
10k...You have plenty of alt to work with....
no 10 feet....:)
I got em both but more often then not I'm the guy llistening for the cavalry.
that being said .... If your a squadie either "WE" return or we die (although we all call the others off if its gotten hopeless). You rarely see a guy from the 71st land alone (when we're flying squad ops). If your a "wingie" like MntMan same thing....If he's still flying I''m not leaving. If your a "standup" guy...Jolly is a good example (one of many) I'm not going if your not. If your "brothers in arms" 56th, 68th and other squads we rumble with then your just as important as a 71st member....
If your just a regular kniggit I check 6 clear 6 and mix it up....but once you get stupid on me I dont feel obligated to die just goes your determined to. If your a cherrypicking SOB then I root for the other guy:D
Most of the guys i'd list are already here. Bat RT Biggles Ted and the rest of the 71st. MntMan Creton Jolly sehob are just a few among many kniggits...and any of the 56th. Just like us they go as a team and land as a team....and every once in awhile die as one.

This kind of remark is exactly why I never bothered saving you, elfboi. :mad:
-
I would have to say anyone from the old squadron I was in when I first came to AH and that squadron was LJK; after that it would be anyone who spent lots of stick time in the beginning of VF-17 and that still includes anyone who flies in it now with lots of time.

plus you might risk a friendly fire incident with that big ol' great pumpkin of a head on the midget.
