Title: Cartoon #28
Post by: The Fugitive on March 06, 2011, 10:06:53 AM: I got this idea from JB11 when he had a certain fight against lothmog.

It's one of the 396 excuses for being killed in a cartoon plane :devil

During the S3 in Warbirds (kind of like the FSO here) a few years back a buff pilot lost his monitor, just went black but everything else was working. The were on the return leg of the mission and a squadmate of his winged up tight and talked him to the base and got him landed on the runway, completely blind. I saw a film from the guy that got him home, was truly awesome.

I swear it's true!!! :rofl

I was just loitering around a "contested" area in a P51 where I had stumbled across a few other enemy fighters when a 262 shows up, we fought it out for a little bit, I tried to pull for a lead shot on one of our close merges and all of a sudden the keyboard drawer for my desk jumps the rails (I rest my joystick on the desk drawer while flying) and falls to the floor. Here I am holding my joystick in mid-air trying to fight against JB-11 in a 262... didn't work out so well for me in the end :grin: (I'm quite certain JB-11 could have pulled off the win even without my desk plotting against me ;))

This also happened to me, was flying a B-26 during an FSO event and the power chord was evidently loose on the back of the monitor. 5 seconds before dropping bombs my monitor shut off, ended up missing my drop, and got separated from the rest of the group during egress before I figured out what the heck was up.

Glad you liked it Lothmog! JB11 sent me a screen shot of the text after that fight. He thought it would make a great cartoon! <S>
