I've flown the mosquito almost exclusively for six months, but when a spitfire shoots me down i try to congratulate the pilot not the plane. But it still bugs me, to have a respected vet say something like shuffler did is just destructive, nothing else. Everyone knows that the best ethos is 'fly what you like, how you like, have fun'. Yes i'm a brit and yes that makes me fight this corner more often than if i wasnt. The spitfire is a fantastic aircraft, and to truly fly one takes just as much skill as any p38.
When i get a computer that runs ah i will happily go to the DA with you shuffler, or anyone else that thinks flying a p38 elevates you above those who fly spitfires, and i will not only obliterate you in p38 vs p38/spit vs spit but i will also beat you p38(me) vs spit(you). This isnt because i am the best, or even because you suck. It is simply because you are still plane dependant and not concentrating on out flying the other pilot.
most of the people in this thread would benifit from a few sessions with someone like 1wingovr....but you'd actualy have to go the DA first.
