A couple of months after i started up i was in a p38 on the uterus map, one of our island bases had an noe raid and busted it, town was still down and the enemy upped a mass goon rush. Was originally looking for a CV reported in the area, when i saw 20 - 25 dots down on the deck, i swooped in for a look and started screaming on country. There was about 20 goons and 2 fighters,  I pulled up behind one of the escorts and shot him down, the 2nd augured as i made a pass at him. With the escorts out of the way i had lots of goons in front me ready for killing , shot until i ran out of ammo(at the time i was not very good with ammo conservation) , got one with rockets then landed my 11 kills.

The 9/11 flight is memorable..  

As well as all the additional AH memories flying with some of the coolest cats around, and all the trash talk we did back in the day...  Good times, definitely not forgettable..

Deathstarring and easily killing 8-9 guys. Bomb vulching a ft base in a b17 and have 1 of my 100lbders hit 3 262s that had just spawned.  watching Ltar spam, watching a squad all in goons kill the server.... that was just hilarious, oh and most recently stang and hub gunning for my deathstar in tt.

I think my most memorable flight was during december. I was all pissed because i was having 1 of those lucky days where it seems like the #1 turnfight ace was always on my tail. So i upped a n1k and went to knit land. I was about 7k and i saw 3 spitfires my level and went to engage. On my first pass, I picked one (easy oppurtunity). now i dont know what they were doing in formation but i blew the lead guy out of the sky. The next two turn opposite directions so they could see which one they could get on. 1 ended up getting on my tail so i banked my aileron and my rudder to the right causing an overshoot and shot him out of the sky. The next one still turning ended up right in front of me and was an easy kill. Okay i have 3 kills right?? well i just want to go land them. Well a tempest ends up coming up on me, and he kept trying to pick me. Well, if they pick, i ho, on his last pass, i had built up my E and pulled up hard to get him in the ho, I shot first and ended up takin his wing off. As i recall, it was Bruv119, so I dont think he was very mad since he could probably up like 1000 more...

Well, i got 4 kills, i just wanted to go land them. So i hit the deck and ran going about 400mph when my squadie DCCBOSS's icon showed up and he had a spit 16 on him. Well he was losing so i went in and snuck behind the spit and killed him. 5 kills, alright time to go home, so im going home still, then there was 5 planes vs. Joker2 and 5pointoh, well i joined the fight getting a n1k, then my hardest fight was me vs. a Hurri2c. Well, i wasnt aware that it was the most maneuverable plane with cannons at the time so i turned with it. He did all of this wierd stuff and got on my tail. He started shooting but seemed like he only had about 50 rounds left in each gun. Well i decided that i was going to be a hard target, so i cut my engine, banked to the right, then left, then brought my plane to the right, and pushed my rudders to the right. The hurri couldnt keep up with the aileron movements and ended up in front of me. I shot him out of the sky. 7 kills and it was time to go home, i still had 400 rounds left and I was pretty happy. Well when i got to base, there was a 110 deacking the field and i killed him. After that, i went and landed that. Got 15 perkies. I was in such a good mood, i upped a spit 8, landed 4 more kills next sortie.

Don't have a particular one moment, one memory that stands out is back in AH1 days being in H2H. A bunch of players from MA came to H2H and TW9 hosted a Team KOTH type event using the rumble terrain. Was a lot of fun doing 4 vs 4 fights in the same planes.

Last night I had fun in TT. Upped an M8 and went around jumping Shermans and Panzers. Disabled them with two shots and eventually got the kill. At one point I followed a Panzer over a hill and there ended up being 2 Panzers in that one spot. Disabled them both just before they got their turrets turned my direction. Ended up landing 5 kills. Was like using ACM on the ground.

I have a couple;

My first FSO as a noob of 3 weeks I had 6 assists.

In the MA, I once attacked a GV base in a M4, killed 22 GVs coming out to get me, shot down a B25 with my main gun, got the 3 hangers, the ack, augered back in an M3 and took the base.  It was one man against about 8 so I was pretty proud of myself.

Oh here's another.  I had been playing for about a month and I saw a friendly on my mission channel getting shot up about 3k below me so I dove to clear him.  I killed the E/A in a single BnZ strike and then I start getting psychotic PMs from the guy I shot down telling me how I am responsible for destroying the fun of the game because I'm supposed to let him kill my teamates.  He continues for like 20 minutes saying I'll never amount to anything in this game (because he's apparently a bigshot top 20 fighter pilot) and I should quit.  I won't say who it was but I'll let you fill in the blanks: B_ P_ _ _ _.  The whole episode just made me laugh.  I'm trying to learn how to fly and this knucklehead is telling me I can't shoot him until he's ready for me to shoot him.

Shooting down Kermit's 262 in a Yak 9T by climbing vertically toward his 12oc to line the shot up and using just 5 37mm rounds to do it and unable to see the 262 while firing. Total guesswork.

Never again have I matched that feat. I fear I have wasted my entire life's supply of Lottery mojo on that shot though.

It was AH1, Mindanao map, near A44.

The first time I saw a C-47 dropping troops.  Not having any real flight sim experience I was just shocked the game had that kind of thing.  I had been flying for about a day or two and didn't really get the whole base capture concept so I went straight for the C-47 and let the troops take the base.  Man those guys must have been laughing their arses off watching the noob screw up an easy defense  They got the base of course.

After my two week trial I decided to join a squad.  I didn't know how to use the radio so I was late joining up with the squad in mid-flight.  I saw a bunch of orange dots in the sky and, never having encountered that before, assumed they must be enemy.  I swept in and shot up my new squad!  Too funny.

[Strip]

1. Landing 10 kills in a Hurri MK1 with NO rearms.

2. Landing 20 kills in a Tempest with 2 rearms.

3. Landing 4 kills in a D3A with out a reararm.

These are the 3 most prized moments in my AH days.

[uptown]

1. the first time I heard someone from another country speak on range channel.

2.killed Shawk......twice in 4 years not good but I'll take it.


3. shot down 2 262s in one P38J sortie


4.landed 3 kills in a C47.....noob augered B17s trying to shoot me down

[Bruv119]

Probably when I single handedly captured an enemy field bombed, 110ed and gooned (done that a fair few times now)  

But this one time Grillman was attempting to launch a raid on the field I was using from the one I was attacking.   I flew my goon past 3 escorts, grills lancs and their c47.

A p51 and the goon turned back to sort me out   I landed and let troops run.  The pony pinged me up but i taxied around a building.  He came around for a second pass and auguered into a building.  The enemy c47 dumped his troops over his own town.  mine ran in took it and the ack blew his c47 up.   Took off and landed the 2 kills.

Re-upped from the field they were headed in a typhoon and killed them all

[badhorse]

My favorite was a kill that was only a proxy!

I was in a Niki supporting an attack on a Vehicle Base. I had used up my ammo de-acking and on GV's and such so I turned off to return to base. As I was leaving the area I passed a friendly C-47 heading in with troops. A couple of minutes later I hear the goonie pilot. "Badhorse I need help. There's a 190 here!" I turned around and told the goonie driver I was out of ammo but the 190 guy doesn't know that so I would see what I could do.

As I got closer I saw the F190 starting his run on the C-47. I dove in on his tail and he broke off the goonie. I stayed on this guys six for awhile while we twisted and turned. Well this guy twisted once when he should have turned cause he hit the ground with a very nice explosion. Mission accomplished. lol One dead 190 and I never fired a shot.

I will be the first to admit it was plain dumb luck. But the atta boy from the goonie driver made me feel pretty good.

my favorite

  hurri 2c  about 12k, i spot 5 dots slightly above me
wep up climb to there level
   two 51s three 38s
i dive for speed,
  these guys musta been noobs (but so was i, four months in)
i cant begine to describe the fight, been a few years but the outcome, i will never forget
  i killed all 5, one of those rare nights my targeting was dead on, allthough they tried to turn with me which allowed me to kill them.
 i remember it lasted a few minutes and i was shaking so bad when it was over. i really think this is the day that i became addicted to AH.
