Title: I was wrong about the Spit 16
Post by: caldera on August 24, 2009, 04:05:51 PM
It's true.  :o




     While on a break from AH2, I was thinking about my disdain for Spitfires and why I never fly them. I

have been a Spit basher (especially the 16) on the forums and in general never really liked them.

In retrospect, it seems irrational given my fascination with all the WWII hardware. Maybe I should give the

Spitfires a second look.



     I took the liberty of reviewing some of my AH films from a new perspective - one without prejudice. In so

doing, I have actually (and a little reluctantly) developed a respect for this fine cartoon war bird. In order to

kind of smooth things over with the Spitfire fan base, I have created a short pictorial tribute to showcase the

Spit 16 in all of its splendour.






Handsome Design

A look that means business and strikes fear into the hearts of lesser opponents.




Amazing Performance

(http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o460/caldera_08/spit16/2.jpg)

The Spit XVI can hang on the prop like nothing else.




Great Visibility

A bubble canopy promotes heightened SA and allows for truly majestic views.




Legendary Maneuverability

(http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o460/caldera_08/spit16/4.jpg)

Taking negative G stick stirring to the next level.




Superb Energy Retention

(http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o460/caldera_08/spit16/5.jpg)

The Spit 16 can go on seemingly forever.




Awesome Firepower

(http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o460/caldera_08/spit16/6.jpg)

Her fearsome guns can unleash torrents of hot lead, with devastating results.




The Total Package

(http://i343.photobucket.com/albums/o460/caldera_08/spit16/7.jpg)

Despite its many qualities, The Spit XVI demands a skilled and fearless pilot for it to really shine. Particularly when attempting the highly technical "Luftberry" maneuver.






As to the allegations that the Spixteen is a UFO, that may or may not be true. However, I have uncovered photographic proof that the Seafire is indeed enhanced with alien technology.

Behold the Seafire Mk. MCMLXXVIII:

Ooops, I accidently bumped into this thread again. 


Aren't there any Spit 16 drivers hopping mad about this?  I thought it was pretty good bait.

I was hoping to at least get a bounty put on my P-40.    :P





P.S.  I'm glad the posters in this thread got a good laugh. When I first hit the "post" button, I was laughing out loud like that Def Leppard dude at the end of "Rock of Ages".    :devil

Ok, just how exactly did you manage to get every one of my untimely deaths on your film? With thousands of sorties in my 16 you got all 8 of my deaths in photo for all to see :aok

Great job! Funny, I thought I had a different skin in that second photo, will have to check my logs :devil
