We have had to turn Midway away several times for wanting in Top Gun such a shame the lemming has much to learn. :old:

I have never wanted or asked to join Top Gun. If I were to join a squad, there is only one obvious choice, "The Few", but I am not good enough for them yet, as they have high standards.
Again, sorry to decline your numerous invites but thanks anyways. Hopefully you now realize I won't accept your multiple invites, so please keep my screen clear of your unwanted squad invites as they make seeing my target aeroplane difficult...or was that a Top Gun member in my sights and this is the only way you can keep me from pwning? :huh
Thank you. ;)

I forgot to add that he also sends me private love messages from time to time.
I keep telling him he must consider his bad ways. :salute

seeing 8 or 9 vtard goons drop troops over a town that is fully up.
-a drunken guy telling us that he's bringing troops. we tell him the town is ready and no one is up. he says he's close to the maproom. we tell him we cant see him. then the sorry I am at the wrong spawn message.
-best funniest recollection is skyrock pm's for being a hotard. I was in b26's and he attacked me head on.

We prep a port for capture and our goon shows up right on time to drop. Over squad vox: Oops, I brought feild supplies. Hang in there I'll auger and get troops."
5 minutes later goon is back and we have held CAP for him the whole time. Goon lands this time and drives up to the map room. Over squad vox:"You guys don't want to here this....@*^%$#&(...I brought G*&^D***nd feild supplies again."

Awesome. Hope you guys weren't too pissed at him, I've pulled some pretty sweet shenanigans myself.
Ripped the wings off a B-29 once... was yapping away in a shallow dive, accidentally hit a gun position snaps to autopilot, snaps wings! Hey guys... uh...
-
Flying a storch, barley 90mph, 262 comes screaming in at over 600mph obviously desperate for a kill, he ends up colliding with me, I get the kill message on him before I die.
-
It was 1 of those rare FSO's with a second life in GVs. I notice an enemy GV flanking a squaddie so I tell him whats happening but I can see that the enemy will kill him before he can rotate his turret for a shot so I go ahead and fire and kill the enemy.Now just as I'm on vox to tell the squaddie he's safe for now,BANG I'm in the tower.
My squaddie had got off a shot but he was aimed at me! All I could do was laugh. :D
:salute
-
Squaddies and I running around in 262s on a lark. Lo, a formation of buffs appears. I am diving in from the side, doing ludicrous speed... Just as I pull the trigger, I watch a 262 slowly come up from below my nose into my line of sight... *BOOM* into the tower I go.
One FSO, my squad is assigned 109K4's. None of us have a lot of experience in this plane, at the time I needed to fly it 'execution style' to get any kills, put the barrel to the back of his head and pull the trigger. We happen upon some Spitfires, I saddle up on one, he's not maneuvering hard, I get in close and am just getting ready to pull the trigger when BOOM into the tower I go. Saved the film and grumpily logged off. Next morning, I am reading the FSO log and see that my wingman killed me. I pull up the film in film viewer and go to the end... It shows him opening up on the spitfire from 600 yards out, with a great lead if he was using .50s at 400 yards. Instead, he tatered me in the cockpit.
First FSO I ever flew, we were escorting bombers to an enemy airfield. During the engagement I wound up getting pilot wounded. I limped the aircraft back to home base, passing out more and more frequently as I went. I wound up blacking out just as I bounced the wheels off the tarmac the first time, then the second time I hit while I was blacked out, landing gear broke. The plane rolled over and over as I came out of blackout, wound up skidding to a stop upside down, everything having fallen off the plane except the cockpit sitting in the middle of the runway laughing like a hyena. I sat back in my chair and sighed at having made it home in one piece. As I was reaching to type .ef, the screen went red and I died of the pilot wound.

And then you, as a man, admitted your mistake, offered no excuses and apologized. It therefore does not count because you were not stupid enough. <S>
I'm pretty sure I was the "wingman" Wiley referred to which he describes above ^^^^^. I get him killed more than the enemies. I'm still thinking about what I am going to post because I have done so many stupid things. I'm trying to think of one that I only did once, but I seem to repeat my stupidity. I guess it was the first week I played, landing a couple kills I see a friendly bomber landing too but there is another bomber, right there with him. I call out "watch it, you got another bomber trying to vulch you"..no answer..........."I'll get him..". Then I shot his AI and was dead.

In an intense turn fight and join plane window pops up....can't click on it unless you bring the clipboard up to bring up the mouse arrow to click the "do not join" and still have to undo clipboard. All this while still turn fighting, needless to say the ground won lol
-
Open doors, line up on VH and calibrate. Cons near, no real danger but keep my attention JUST enough. Drop! :O Salvo set for hitting a CV... :bhead
Another one... When I had JUST started playing AH. Someone called out for troops, so I upped an M3 and started on my way....for a 4 1/2 sector drive. :o
-
I was on a nice kill streak in a Tempest and then surfinn started PMing me, raging about someone in my squad killing him on the other side of the map
we had a nice chat and I got so caught up with talking to him I ran out of fuel and ended up ditching :lol :furious
-
Up a 262 to chase some arrogant Arado prettythang who has been gallivanting all over our territory. Fly a 3 sector intercept vector to make sure I have enough alt at the merge. Finally get eyeballs on him. He's at my 10 o'clock, about 5000 feet below and 2 miles out. Point the nose down on a decent intercept, move the stick a bit to correct, and the buffeting starts. Crap! Go screaming past the Arado within 500 yards and spend the remaining 10000 feet of my altitude fruitlessly trying not lawn dart.
Hope he got a nice laugh out of that.
-
Got sauced up 1 night and took 262 after 262 up and killshot myself on AKAK. When I logged on the next day I had no perks left.
Why the 262 you ask? Because it takes to long in anything else to fly to 40k :P
-
A spur of the moment Val fighter sweep. We ended up finding a batch of Lancasters and managed, with much silliness, to shoot them all down :aok
-
Bunch of squaddies and I took down the VH and de acked a feild only so we can fly through the hangars. One wirble was up smoking just watching us the whole time
-
I had a nice killstreak going in a P47M , was heading home to land 6 kills and set myself on auto pilot so I could see if a buddy was online and brag to him. Right as I typed "Guess what!" To him, I crashed into the side of a mountain... :cry

Got the Top Fighter Score one week in FSO with 9 kills.
Unfortunatley 8 of them were squadies that died when i accidently dumped my ord on the runway just when the fields opened :D
Another FSO story....after a long and hard fought B26 sortie with the squadies, were sitting on the rearm pad for another run..All of a sudden someone screams 262!!!! TOWER OUT!!!!...here we are, deer in the headlights looking around saying "Wheres the 262?"..a second later FILTH comes screaming in in his 262 and vultches the rearm............. BLAM !!......oh the horror!! As i sat in stunned silence in the tower with my squad, off in the distance, we swore we heard the faint giggling of a man over the sound of a hairdryer.

^^^^^^^both are very true,so take it from someone who knows.....beware of bailey in fso...if your his squaddie. :lol

Aaah the first time I took up a 262... was literally every single perk I had, which at the time seemed like it took an eternity to build up. Climbed with a squaddie to probably 30K or so, maybe higher chasing 4 sets of B17's in a tight formation, watched my squaddie make a pass, lose a stab and get smoked, so after climbing to these buffs for 20 minutes I didn't even make a pass, so we both decided lets just go home, and try again some other time.... So...about 5 minutes later, cruising at 500 mph, 20-25K all of the sudden I hear BOOOM... CV puffy ack going off everywhere, me and my squaddie try to dive, get down to about 10-15K, 500-600mph when we enter a massive furball, he went in for a kill, but before I could make a choice poof, first puffy ack ping flames me, Im out... So as I sit and pout about my 200+ perk loss.. I suddenly hear a loud screaming over vox "IM IN A !@#$%^ FLAT SPIN HOW DO I GET OUT HOW DO I GET OUT!!!!@#$%^&" "YOUVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME 10 !@#$%^ING GUYS CAME IN AND RAPED MY 262 IN A FLAT SPIN!!! WHY!!!" ... did I mention my squaddie didnt take death very well? Especially not in a jet.... then he went off on a rage for about 10 minutes, while I turned down my volume and tabbed in and out of game waiting for him to finish... :noid
-
^^^^^^^both are very true,so take it from someone who knows.....beware of bailey in fso...if your his squaddie. :lol
Did i mention im looking for a squad to fly FSO with?
Wait.....Note to self.......tell that story after ur in the new squad stupid.
-
Flying with Squaddies, we come upon a pair of 109's.... apparently AFK..... they haven't moved an inch in the last minute since we've ID'd them.
I'm talking over Team Speak, with my wingman, who is relatively new to the game about what I want him to do, set him up for an easy kill on one of the 109's....He's doing well at this point, keeping the closure rate quick, just like me..... and he's starting to fall back behind me,...... probably 'cause I have WEP on & he doesn't....
I ask "where are you"..... he see's the 109, ready for the kill.... but I'm not ready for gun solutions yet... so I ask him.... "How can U be ready, If I'm not close enough yet.."
At this point, I'm looking over my Shoulders, trying to figure out where he is... NO vis.... so I pull my throttle back (just a bit) & keep looking... Still no vis.......
I'm now at the 109's SIX and gonna miss the Kill, if I don't FIRE very soon..... So I told my wingman... "Fire if you have the shot"......
As I turn back from looking at my SIX, (**I figure he's quite a bit behind me and must be below me by now...) I KNOW the guns solution I have on this 109 is Perfect, so I open up.... ALL guns just a blazing away...
I no sooner have my guns firing and I see my wingman's tracers ripping into the 109..... and SO are mine...., But my wingman is now 15' off my nose..... and INSIDE my tracers......
PLINK.... PLINK... I'm dead.......
Kill shooter wins again. :bhead

some years ago, I was climbing, above 10k with a squadmate. A numbers' guy sent me a request to join in my plane and I let him in saying <<welcome aboard sir>>.
After 5 seconds on radio I sorta screamed <<Have a nice ride down, beach!!>> and bailed out.
That was good 5 minutes laugh on Teamspeak. :rofl

Okay this made me RAFF OUT ROUD.

droping my external fuel tank, dive on a bad guy putting a steady stream of bullets in him, and watch him fly away because I didn't have my secondary guns selected.
-
Just last night, surrounded and alone with 5 different planes attacking me, decide to have a little fun and pull an extreme maneuver, watch as 3 of the enemy planes auger into the ground trying to get a shot in. A 4th guy got me though, but it was a lot of fun :D
-
dropping 14 x 1000 pound bombs on a single ack in town because I killed HQ on the previous sortie.
-
dropping all 6,000lbs of my ord on one flak gun because I forgot to reset my salvo to 1.
I upped a formation of betties with the four bomb loadout, I have only been in the air for 15 minutes circling the field to gain some alt, as my wife walks by she decides she wants to mess with me by pressing buttons on the joystick. so which one does she press a bunch of times you ask? why none other than the bright red, illuminated one that is my secondary weapon fire button. I just sigh loudly as I shake my head and change my formation's attitude from gaining alt to losing alt and prep for a landing. She thought it was just harmless fun until she asked why I was trying to land all of a sudden and I had to explain to her that the betties don't have bay doors and that she just blasted some poor farmers field in friendly territory using all my ord.
flying the #2 spot in a fighter sweep with the squad, in a c-hog. I step away while on auto climb to use the head. A few minutes later I'm done and walking back to the computer. I pass my 6 year old son on the way and he stops me to tell me "don't worry dad, I got that badguy in front of your plane for you; but you died too". My squadies are discussing why I would teamshoot myself in a perked ride as I sit back down at a computer screen with a lovely view of the tower.

Years ago... I'm in a shore battery waiting for an enemy CV to sweep into my field of fire. I see a low formation of B-17s headed almost directly at me. I elevate the gun, take a guess at lead and elevation and fire.
The 8" round arcs across the sky and hits the lead B-17 in the cockpit... All three go poof.
999000 sends me a salute...
-
She thought it was just harmless fun
Here's how that action would have gone down at my house:

That's not a funny story, that is an EPIC story of AWESOME and SPARKLY FALLING STARS.
-
Flying a goon along a hillside with the intent of taking the enemy field just across the way as my old squad was working it over. Low flight of B17's fly across and above my path from my 3:00 to my 9:00. His guns are just spraying away frantically at me as I pass under him. "Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"thndrEGG landed 3 victories in a C47 of Birds of Prey"
B17's don't hold up to a head-on collision with a hill.

Seems like whenever Im at 15k looking down on a victim at 8k, there is someone at 25k looking down on me.

I got into a fight with a Spit and I took off his entire left wing. Spit kept fighting for two more minutes as if nothing were wrong. It was too funny to shoot him and finally he elevated vertically and disappeared into the stratosphere. I guess he went back to the mothership.

Seen one of the bomber missions being posted on 200 - I decided to up a FW-190d9 and climbed to 25k, after shooting down some of the escorts, one of the B-17s took my wing off which I landed, I had exactly 250 perks and that was the cost of the 262, so I take off from the same runway I landed on - as I am rolling down the runway I hear bombs dropping and the hangers are all going down - right before I started nosing up off the runway I hear the wistling of the bomb then "BAM!" back to tower.
I thought I was vulched on the runway, turns out one of the buffs salvo'ed off a pair of 500lbs for the ammo bunker while I was next to it, it was just the right time and right place for his bombs.
/I raged logged
-
Leading a mission to strats. Just as we were about line up, a base gets taken and the strats warps away to happy fun land. :joystick:
We got raped by fighters shortly after. All 15 or so of us B17s. Only myself and two others managed to land. :lol
