"What do mean theres not enough ponys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...............blah blah blah blah.............the 51 is uber.........blah blah blah blah................it turns to well at low speeds.......blah blah...........all pony drivers wear pink womans thongs.......blah blah........YT is bald.........blah blah" you get the idea;)

Unfortunatly it's not. All it does is read the data off of the HTC stats pages, and then figure out the kill%'s itself.

Pony drivers extraordinaire can be found here (http://www.brauncomustangs.org). :)
Nice to see some more dedicated pony drivers.
Oh and to quote Vulcan "You pony drivers are too busy looking at your own reflection in the wings to learn how to fight..."

Hi there.. couldn't help but to comment on this.
I see (hear) the name "dweeb" bantered about, usually used moments after a pilot is shot down, BY the shot-down pilot (the shootee) at the Shooter. IE: "You vulched me you DWEEB!",,or,, "You're lucky your pals got here you DWEEB!",, or ,, my alltime favorite: "You're using that Dweebs plane,, a ????" (put any name in; Zeke? La7? N1K? P51?,,, WHATEVER~)
The shootee (enroute to terra-firma in a parachute) seems to forget that this is the Main Arena~ IE: No holds barred. If he finds himself in a "Fair Fight",, then he set it up wrong! If he/she ends up tangling in a 3 v 1 and/or rundown in his zeke by a P51 while trying to escape w/o ammo,, then who is the DWEEB? Take your lumps, re-spawn and do it again with a tad more SA (situational awareness) under your belt,, or go back to the Training Arena and request "Check-6" combat by appointment engagements!!
Now (that I'm on a roll, ha!) Lets talk about the DWEEB Plane(s).. Starting w/ the P51. In my book all planes are like tools. The right tool for the right job. Some tools are more universal than others. IE: For a low, twisting furball over your airbase, take a Zeke or Hurricane up. For a long-range incursion into Injun Territory, when you're outnumbered 20 v 1 ,, take a P51 or La7. Stay high, and hen-peck the highest fighters, and/or scream down past helpless escorts to blast bombers.. Watch the PO'd Spits trying to catch you in the rear-view as their buff rains down in splinters! HA!
Who's the DWEEB? Perhaps the shootee is inferring that it's a little more manly (or STUPID!) to lower your airspeed in the 51, and turnfite him/her down on the deck, directly over their airbase? Then the 51 driver can remove the dreaded Dweeb monicker? MOOOahahahahahaa.. (some of you get the point, I'm sure).
In closing (finally).. I personally do not like flying P51's. However, when I look up and see an nme Mustang high over-head. It ruins my fun instantly. You've gotta' watch that SOB every second, because he/she can zoom-bang ya' in a heart-beat. They can dictate the terms of engagement, and disengage whenever they damn well please, scott-free! The only thing that bothers me worse than an nme P51 overhead is TWO P51's OVERHEAD! Then, the chances of a single lower craft making it, is slim to none.

Dweebs rule ~:o

Hehe... nicely put RV6 :)

I'm surprised the Spitfire V has more kills than any model of F4U Corsair, not to mention more kills than any of the German fighters.
-
A famous WW2 pilot when speaking of the P51 once said "When you have a faster, superior aircraft, you control the fight. You've already won 50% of the fight before you ever engage"

"Where are the pony dweebs??"
Look up.

Went to an airshow this past weekend in Omaha. All kinds of warbirds there. Example:
3xP51D
1xP51C
1xP47D-30
1xB17
1xB25
1xC47
1xA6M
I actually got to climb aboard one of the P51Ds and sit in the cockpit. That was one of the best moments in my life. I have pictures....3 rolls worth of the birds.
Oh, by the way, I know of 2 dedicated pony squads: the 412th (who I fly with) in rooks...and the 13th TAS (usually flying for Bish).
Any others?

Time for a remodel.

Going to that 412th site makes me crave steak.
-
Ponies are nice in my gunsight.

Yes, the 13th is primarily a P-51 squad; we do fly other aircraft at some times. Squad night is always P-51 however.
We've always been Bishop since beta and that's unlikely to change.
Squad Charter is HERE (http://www.13thtas.com/pages/13thTASchrt.htm)

I've been flying the F4U-1 a lot the past couple months and just the other day decided to start putting in time on my favorite from the Euro theater, the P51B. I got into a fight with a P38, AKRoper I think, and I couldn't believe the 51B kept snap rolling on me when I'd try to make a turn. I thought the F4U was supposed to have a problem, but I couldn't control this 51! What is up with that? Is that a historical characteristic of the Pony? And, I can see this thing being a bit of an advantage once you know how to control it.
BTW, the 51D is in serious need of a facelift. I'd like to see a checkernose or a blue-nose something along the lines of Bizkit's image.

mheeeeeeeee come to the flock

When I used to fly the La7 I'd target 51's, Tiffs and 190's as well as other La7's. When I switched to the F6F I tried to do the same. I'm surprised that my K/D against the 51's actualy went up as well as my K/D against the K1K2's and La7's. 190's are now my biggest problem in the MA, they just won't commit to a 1v1 as often as Pony drivers will :D
-
I'd like to add one more to my list...the 357th Pony Express...sorry I forgot!
-
Well 1 other one i believe...The Blue Nosed Bastards.
357th has closed its doors as i read on a different forum.
And yes i am part of the 13th TAS, which means i am a 51 dweeb which means i will kill all who aint scared of the 51 :p :) :)

hey biz, does JoAnna know that you posted your Pony with the picture of her for nose art on a BBS with all these crazy's??? me thinks you better run & hide :D
and what's wrong with being bald!
:D
ytee!
-
There are a few planes I like to fly the P-38 is second on my list. But my favorite ride is the P-51B. It's a much better ride then the P-51D in my opinion.
412th Braunco Mustangs
P-51B, never leave home without it.
