I started flying sims with my Pop back in the late 80's and early 90's starting with Falcon and after I retired from the Navy Pop asked me to try AW. Pop flew Pac 1 with cpid of Gabon and I flew Euro as Tipan. I had to fly against the likes of Rumel in euro and my dad in Pac1 who would make short work of my D9. You remember your great fights and the maneuvers you performed to win those fights but the fight I remember the most wasn't even flown by me. I had gone into big PAC just to see what it was like in there and I was flying at around 10K and saw a team member above me at about 15 to 17K and above him I saw 5 dots and knew he was about to be bounced. I typed F6 at 17K in so and so sector your about to be bounced bring them down and I can help. He answered me saying I have these guys right where I want them. I watched them dive and saw they were all flying Spits and all from the 555 squad. The f6 rolled inverted into a dive then pulled hard back on stick and came up at the spits at a 45 degree angle and rolled inverted as first spit passed. Then I was caught off guard to what this guy did next, he pulled hard back on stick and rolled again right on to the tail of the last spit fired and downed spit. Three spits broke right 1 went left the f6 pulled hard left inside spit 2 and fired spit 2 gone. the other 3 spits pulled hard left as the f6 rolled inverted again into a dive with spits in tow at 5K out and above. The f6 pulled hard back again and put nose on to spits at 45 degree up angle and as first spit blew past he rolled inverted again and pulled hard back onto the last spit and fired inverted killing spit 3 rolled and pulled right inside spit 4 and fired killing spit 4 now spit 5 is on his 6 so he rolls inverted againand so does the spit the f6 pulls hard back the snap rolls pulls hard back again to nose vertical rolls again and pulls back and into the spit who over shoots the f6 which has now rolled again and nose up and flames spit 5. I was laughing when I saw this guys macro flash in the chat bar it was so funny and so fitting for this guy. I had so much fun watching this F6 dispatch 5 spits all by his lonesome. When he said he has these guys right where he wants them I thought of that ol saying I have these guys surrounded and you realize hes alone. From that day forward I checked the stats on who was the top dog in each arena and for 6 months this F6 flier ruled Big PAC then AW was no more. I miss those days of NKL, Hoagi, VCAT, Gabon ,Rauml and many others but out of all of them that 1 F6 flier stood out among the rest at least for me it did. I never could beat the guy and he always flew an F6 and he always flew with with the A's and he always flew alone. He was a stone cold flier but then again compared to me everyone was. There are guys of that caliber in AH but again AH is light years ahead of AW but back in those days its all we had. So don't complain about not having fights or the fun fight you have to make it what you want to. Fight your fight or look elsewhere is what I always said <S>.

Omg, anothere wall of text.
-
I found this to be a very interesting story.
-
Good story? Interesting? I couldn't get past the first couple of sentences. The lack of paragraphs turned me off quickly. I can't bring myself to stare at a large wall of text like that and try to read it...
-
macros......i forgot about them.
oh my god they killed kenny!! was one of my favorites.
-
Was it XooX?

Was it XooX?
i don't remember whos it was.....they flew rr euro a lot though.......
-
I think that macro went something like this " Slap leather guns roar ya got no skill ya fly no more". I flew Euro all the time and I only saw that guy maybe 3 times his cpid was either sixgun or 6guns but I do remember his squadrons name "Gunslingers".
-

-
Oh nm XooX flew FR BigPac

I flew with "Gunslingers" for a short while, I think "hoot" was with them as well he plays AH as "Hooter".

Then why bother posting a reply except to show your intolerence & lack of acceptance that not all are perfect in this world?

very interresting story, that guy just knowing he was going to kill 5 spits is pretty sweet sounds like he knew his stuff. I once dispatched 4 zekes with a brewster but I definently at the beginning didn't say I had those guys (same situation I was beneath them). Thanks for sharing the story :salute

intolerance? :headscratch: I think dots just making the point that if someone spends the time to write a post, there more chance of people reading it if they hit the return key every couple of sentences. paragraphs are your friend.

Nice post Gaboon. Those were good times at the dawn of internet gaming.

Maybe your friend the paragraph could introduce you to his buddy the apostrophe. :old:
ImADot I feel your pain. Thanks for sharing. :D

don't think anyone is majoring in English in this forum. If you can understand what there trying to say that's all that matters.

Gaboon was just harkening back to the earlier days of writing. At least he was using spaces between words and some punctuation. Earlier writing with the Latin alphabet didn't even have that. :)

Heh! That's awesome! Really, I could indeed read it without much trouble at all. Language has some pretty good error correction built into it, eh?

no problems here TN however when someone repeatedly spells simple words wrong I tend to categorize them as much much younger people. Not that I discount them completely unless they prove themselves to be tards. Thank goodness for spell check in firefox.

Amen.....
I do know what you mean, but when one person comments on someone's spelling I just look at it as being trivial. It actually makes the person making the comment look immature in my book especially if you can actually read the context. I'm all for bringing up intelligant young folks, that's how we move along as a species and improve our technology. Lets face it our earth and milky way galaxy is 1.5 billion years old with the earth cooling and the demise or immanent future of our planet is one like Mars, each generation of our species must remain on a steady climb to supreme knowledge and in doing so will ensure our survival as a race - something as simple as spelling could be leading us in the wrong direction.

Quality communication requires effort. If people don't want to communicate effectively then I'm not that keen about making a reciprocal effort.

Ahh....I have many fond memories of BIGPAC with FANG3, Elf, NKL, LPN, VMPR...and others :old: :lol
