<S> LuckyI3
« on: September 08, 2007, 04:32:49 AM »
I was trying to discover the handle of the poor spitty that I picked out of that horde at A8 at the frame finish.  I didn't risk film and the stats haven't awarded me a kill (I died first rule applied I think).  I set fire to a spit on the way through and I think from my own primitive stats parsing it may have been (un) LuckyI3.

There was a bunch of people in tower watching and laughing and yelling through my rather cheeky escapade and a question has arisen that needs an answer:


Did that red cloud parked behind me shooting each other give you a check 6?:rofl

Inquiring minds want to know :D  :aok

I gave a few a check 6's.
I wasn't going to let you go...

That was the first frame his name "did not" fit. He has had some amazingly lucky experiences.  He is relatively new to our squad, but active and a lot of fun. He and dogma were winging all night. I had just given the RTB order when you dove and nailed him. Had they landed it we have awards for wingmen who land 3 or more kills in FSO.  I think they had 2 or 3. :) I was a ways from the base and remember looking back and seeing him aflame. :eek:

For those who weren't there (and I think this is sufficient evidence most of you were):





LuckyI3 is the spit just in front of me at that point I think.

Heh I think it's fine counterpoint to those who reckon they aren't seeing enough action.

I think allied traffic everywhere was "Mine, Mine, Mine"....

I know we (71st/USMC) got hammered pretty hard both on inbound setup leg and on the bomb run to A4 itself. I managed to stay with the buffs (kind of:))...literally couldnt make up the few thousand feet in alt I had to give up evading a couple of 38's and Jugs. Once the buffs that were left dropped we were so split up I dont think we ever regrouped. I was chasing a shot up 38 and saw 3-4 other squaddies locked in low. Rolled into try and clear Tracer and the others and got hammered by spitties.

I dont ever fly the nikki and have to admit how suprised I was by the poor performance at alt. Plane just crawls along at 20k...

great job by whoever hit us...got in on top of us with no escort interception (we were screening/inderticting at target so not a goof from them). I know we got some eggs on target...great job by SLED getting the buffs regrouped and dialed back in...

Oh man! Dantoo that was funny watchin' you dance with all those red guys last night. I'm a little miffed that I bet SLED a dollar that you would win. I really had faith in you!

:D
