Not a Ho...the Japanese pilot clearly spilt his saki on the manifold thus creating the fire.

Not to worry. HO'ing a Hayabusa with a P-40 is like HO'ing a beer can with a Sherman. :D

Stopped in the DA today to try and make a training vid hoping I could find a decent stick.

He called me a HO and a Cheat.  Which of the two 1 min films would be considered a HO

1st film thats not included was of him in a YAK 7-10 above me asking if i wanted to fight, i said sure.
After bleeding his E, I finally got behind him and followed him to the deck only to find he was actually well behind me. He blamed it on losing UDP....OK...No matter, i killed him 1 minute later.

Second flight was spit 16 (him)vs me still in my spit 8. After he was dead he complained alot.

Third was 38 vs spit 8  and fourth was Temptest Vs Spit8. He dragged me all over the arena saying it was fun. Then when i killed him he said i HO'ed him. You be Judge who ho'ed who.

Two 1 minute films

You could've just said the guy was Bigamer.. yea well he changed it to Biggamer now I think but it used to be Bigamer.. until he realized what it looked like. The guys a dweeb, no point getting worked up over people who blatantly suck yet don't realize it. No interesting dialog is gonna come out of it  :uhoh

I thought that the HO was a standard and relied upon tactic versus the Japanese. The heavy American steel couldn't turn with the light Jap machines but it could take the punishment....

Is a painting, I have a few WW2 prints in my office (christmas over rangoon/Danger, Lightning near by) and was just checking to see if value changed (updating homeowners insurance list) and happened across it. It's a signed print and the pilots comments echoed my thoughts. He's just finished a pass on a set of bombers and as he reversed the oscar pointed right at him. He knew if he broke off the oscar would climb right up his 6 so he went nose to nose with him. As soon as they crossed and he cleared the propwash he pulled as tight a reverse as he could expecting the oscar to be right on him....but the guy took a facefull and went down like a "roman candle". I'm one of those people who believes you cant "force" a HO vs the other guy. Anytime I end up in one its because at that moment I felt it was the best of a bad set of options. If the other guy is in a superior position and all of a sudden gives me a "50/50" chance I may just take it :D
