I have to admit, I am one of those silly guys that like to grab some alt, hunt for the enemy, kill them, and then land my kills. My score is not my motivation, simply a bi-product of how I like to fly.
The purpose of this post is simply to get to know some fellow pilots who enjoy the same flying style as myself, ie. wingman tactics, true Boom and Zoom or E Fighting but most importantly, landing the kills.
I was once a member of a squad back in the AWDOS days which consisted of 30+ guys who all flew with the aforementioned stlye and purpose and I have to tell you, it was the best. We became so good on our squad nights that both Aland and Cland would truce jus to deal with us (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) It was great!
I'm hoping for those interested to reply so that I can make some new Pals and eventually start a squad of the same high level of committment that I was once a part of.
Having fun flying our sim is what it is all about, so I'm not knocking other flying styles or motives, jus living and landing after a sortie is much more fun for me than getting killed every sortie (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
Let me know if your interested and give me an e-mail so we can hook up and wing abit.
BTW....thx to Yeager and Terne who I had the pleasure of wingin with these past few months...both of you are competetent and fun to fly with (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

"Landing"? I'll have to get my hands on a dictionary.

These planes have landing gear?!?
On a serious note, if you want to fly with a squad, where we usually cover each other and live to talk about it, come join us at JG2, we fly for Knights. Give us a hollar when you're online, and you can join us.
Our squad night is Friday nights at 6:45pm PST (9:45pm PST)and we usually have something drawn up for that nights mission.

Yes they do. I once had my landing gear shot off in a fight. I didn't notice any difference in flight characteristics though, so I think they are only cosmetic.

Hiya Rude and thanks for the honorable mention (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
There is certainly a desire on my part to successfully complete missions. Yes, a one kill sortie that is landed has as much if not more value than a 5 kill sortie that winds up with the victor shot down in flames.
I definately have a desire to re-enact both the attitudes and performance of those fellas
from way back -but the truth is I frequently miss the ace bullseye and sometimes by a healthy margin (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) There are many fine folks
who can readily attest to this!
Right now the squad I belong to is a mix of flyers from the 900th and 901st squads from the heyday of Warbirds. All excellent flyers: Av8R, Udie, 6Gun, just to name a few.
Unfortunately I do not know the current status of members since the pay-to-play
was enacted.
Lets keep in touch!

If you guys fly for the bis, I'd REALLY like to be part of that...I ALWAYS try to land my planes. And I REALLY NEED some help from experienced people (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif))))
See ya in the arena. Please email me if you want me to be part of some squad with "landing wantings"
hehehe
