Mtnman and skyrock are both great hog pilots and also fun to wing with. AKdogg is darned good too.

I haven't seen greebo's hog but his hellcat was a blast to fight.

My last duty station was NAS Key West controlling the restricted air space down there and controlling for all the Readiness Air Group or RAG squadrons. Had about 6000 intercepts when I retired.

TC
AKDogg
BluKitty

(in no particular order)

would be the three I fear the most in an f4u.

too many others to mention are "great" f4u pilots.

you reach a point where any of the the "top" f4u pilots can kill the others on "any given sunday". There isn't really a "best'.

Yep, there are many very good F4U sticks, and as Lute says, on any given day any one of them can beat the others. Just depends if you're at your best that particular day.

My advice to Twolf2 is to come to the training arena one evening and get some practice in with either me or Murdr before going into the lion's den with Dedalos, TC or you (Skyrock). I've dueled all of these gents in F4Us and can give him some insight into his future ordeal.

My regards,

TC
AKDogg
Widewing
MtnMan
BluKitty

Also, some sticks are better at different aspects than others (like, as mentioned, Blu's ability to force overshoots) so it can be kinda complicated.
