Zippatuh, talk about a dufus!
« on: July 10, 2003, 11:37:07 AM »
The other night, I engage a P38. Starts out as a good fight. I just start to get angles on him when I do a quick 6 check. Dayum! A P51 diving on me. I don't get outta the way quick enough and he takes my left aileron. I evade the next couple of passes of the 51 and his wing, another 51. (I'm thinking, hmmm, these 51's tactics sure look familiar).

I'm about to get away when the P38 I was first engaged with is 500 yards and closing...fast. Try to do a barrel roll. Oops. Forgot about the missing parts. (Barrel rolls are hard without all your parts). Wham! P38 runs smack into me.

As is most apparent. The dufus? That'd be me.

Zipp. I'll get ya for that. You know I can't fly without my parts.

So the point of the story was the 38 driver was a stud, just because he was in a 38? :D  Good story.

I shot down Rude the other night.  Thank goodness for nicotine cravings, because otherwise he might have actually been sitting at his computer.:D

Man!  I bring up the index and see my name in lights, followed by “dufus” and then see it started by Apache.  What a quick range of emotion I tell ya.  Starting off with “Damn, what’d I do to Apache" :).

Hell I have to have some advantage Apache...  Being 20K+ in a shinny new mustang isn’t enough ;).  Looking forward to the rematch sir .

Oh and by the way, those really aren’t wing tactics, we’re just all trying to take each others kills and it happens to work out well :D.

Slap, I think I still owe you one    Yup, I was right, I still do!

You deserved it Slap:)

And you Mr. Curval....that was most inconsiderate of you....I just don't understand what I've ever done to you to deserve such brutal treatment.
