Loss of perks due to B.A.C.. ?

[Wingnutt]

after seeing the flood of responses to my "Flying Drunk" thread.. I think it would be interesting to hear some stories about poor decisions in perk rides derived while under the influence...  

my best (worst)  experience was a couple of weeks ago..


I noticed that I could afford a 234  and promptly found myself on the runway, with 2 jet engines, 2 bombs, 2 rato packs, and some beer..

I fire her up and start rolling, this is a busy base so planes are upping and rolling through me and I through them..

3/4 of the way down the runway and at about 120kts I decide to fire the Ratos pods..

but instead I fire the rear cannons, and shoot the B25 behind me right in the face..  instant death   70 perks down the drain.

As to perk rides, I got nothing......

I don't make it into the MA as often as I'd like, spending most of my time in the special events arena.

Needless to say, I don't gain perks very quickly.

So, the squad night when we all chose to grab AR234s and have fun found me forgetting to uncheck the formation button.  I launch 3.  Don't realize they are back there, lose them.  I'm also at the wrong base, and in a hurry to get with the squad I pooch my landing.  

3 perk rides down in under 2 minutes.

Quickly, to get with the squad, I rinse and repeat.  Of course, I still forgot to uncheck the formations, and didn't quite change bases.

Ticked off, I auger the buggers, only to find I don't have enough to get a single plane up after that point.

Which is when I opted to Start drinking when I fly as I was stone cold sober for that one.

Puhleeze.

I got that so beat.

Two weeks ago, I was drinking Capt. Morgan.  I KNEW I was loaded.

Anyway, ROCKDOG came up with the brilliant idea to take up 262's.  They were like 174 perks.  It went something like this:

"Hey man, let's take up some 262's."

"No way, dude, I'm way to drunk to fly a 262, and besides, they're 174 perks!"

"C'mon man..."

"Let's just take up zeros or something..."

"C'mon man...you'll be fine.  Just stay fast."

5 minutes later....Flying towards a whole wad of red dots on the deck...

"Alright, I'm in."

"Just stay fast dude, you'll be fine."

..."I'm down."

"You're what?"

"AFK for a few."

Basically I rolled in on a Typhoon at 450 or so, not realizing he was facing me, not going away from me.  Got shot in the face point blank and sent right to the tower, do not pass go, do not collect $200.  

I'm not taking up another 262 till I make up the 174 perks, which will be in a few months I guess.

Well at least you were trying to fly with the joystick instead of the beer bottle...

  This is WHY we no longer allow wingnutt into bombers and attempt to limit his intake of...ummm...JUICE...it is for his own protection ..

I take up a 262 to go kill AKAK. I find him and die. Killshooters a *****!

Have you beat.

Went to up an Ar-234. Forgot to un-check formations so there I am sitting on the runway with 3 planes at almost 90 perks apiece. No biggie have plenty of bomber perks. Take off and about that time my daughter walks in to ask me something. Set auto climb, turn around to speak to my little girl, turn back just in time to watch my entire formation auger into the ground.

OK get up and get anouther beer.

Sit back down and decide to up a 262 at around 190 perks. Take off, fly to the furball and start making high speed passes through the middle of it. From 10K or so look down and see an La-7 chasing a squadie so.......I MUST race in to defend my squadie right??? Full power, push the nose over at 10K and head for the deck. At around 3K I realize the controls are no longer accepting pilot input. Smack into the water at around 600MPH indicated.

All in all I lost between 450-500 perks in about a ten minute time frame with nothing to show for it but a broken headset when I threw it into the wall over the computer.

I logged and went to watch TV after that.
