Sharpen those No 2 pencils, it's quiz time

You don't have to fill up those wittle boxes so it can be read by the machine thing. It's an essay test of fifty words or less.

1. Would a flight sortie regardless of length, that you landed be considered a waste of time in your opinion if you didn't have a fight ??

Depends on individual definitions of 'fight'.  If I grab a fighter and look for a fight, and dont find that fight, then yes, disappointment may ensue.  Nothing to cry about.  I'll look again.  If I take some eggs, I intend to drop them.  The ground target or vulch target is my fight.  If I find that, then mission accomplished.

Wouldn't that be considered a ferry flight? Doesn't sound like much fun in a simulator/game. It can actually get a bit boring in real life. The only exception I would make is a high altitude bombing run of a strategic target.
It isn't fun unless I get shot down real fast. :) Great at takeoffs, not sure about landings.

The answer to that really depends on what my goal was for a particular sortie, but in most cases, yes, it would have been a waste of time.

You mean like a sortie to resupply HQ and get dar back on for yourself and a couple of hundred team mates?

Or a scout flight in a scenario frame during which you discovered an enema fleet and directed a strike force to it?

Circumstances make a difference.

Your goal for every sortie includes killshootering your pony on octavius and/or a fantastic auger :cool:

Landing is good but landing kills is better.  If you have managed to recon valuable info thats good to.

No and yes. Yes because any time spent playing computergames wastes time that could be used for something usefull.
