Spit 16 observations (much ado about nothing)

lol yarb's post made me check my k/d. It is 3.7 (most all in the 38)

Comparing k/d to your previous months may be ok, but don't try comparing to others as it is a poor way to compare unless you know if they fly like you do or in the same aircraft.

Doesnt k/d give and indication of their style of flying as in gung ho or like to land kills.

Not necessarily. One can fly "timid" and in a pure picking mode and get a K/D of only 1.5 because he sucks, while someone else can fly gung-ho all the time and still get 5.0
To get a indication about there flying style from stats alone you have to look at the whole picture, particularly k/s and k/h. And even that can sometimes be misleading. For example if you fly at non-peak times, it's more difficult to get a very high k/s and k/h.

Yes agreed the data needs carefull interpretation and one flyer may like to fly a p40 another a tempest but all this is buried among the stats.

Whole bunch of stuff

Your 95% figure was understating the case. No offense, I just like for the actual numbers to be out there.

I was wrong, it was IX I saw. Apparently it had pwned the XVI somewhere over the Cook Strait and pile-it had a recording of Ann Coulter chanting, "It's not the plane it's the pilot" swamping all available radio frequencies.
