Where's All of the P47 Pilots hiding?
« on: August 31, 2008, 06:56:04 AM »
I feel like I'm the only one flying besides my squadron on rook nation. Any other P47 fans/pilots/squadrons on the dark side?  :O

Would see if we could put something together but i know J.U.G.S is supposed to be flying today i think. Any P47 pilots squadless atm? Just wondering....  :D

Also if there is a JUGS meeting today i have something special planned.  :rock

Only plane I've been flying for some 2 years....lol some camps better than others. There's a few others, but the 56th has sort of gone by the wayside, and many of their members have joined the evil K4-flying Muppets :furious

P47 are ruthlessly run down and ganged by waves of of enemy ....p51's and La7's run them down and make them go defensive...then the spit 16's finish the job ...then the enemy get on ch200 and crow about how cool they are ......booooooo

 ....The LW arenas are so lame these days  ....I for one am very tired of this ....I'm am forced to fly p51's so I can blend in and have any chance of survival ....I miss flying P47's  ....It is such a crushing bore to have to fight the same plane types every mission  P51/La7/Spits  ....yawn

I love the jug...in fact last night I got my first 262 in a razorback jug.  Had to go take a cold shower afterwards!

I'll admit, i was apart of that Evil-K4 flying club but I've found the light with the P47. It's sheer versatility has alot of advantages that the K4 doesn't and i have alot more options with the P-47 as in mission selection ( Ground attack, Close air Support, High Alt escorting, Jabo runs ). 


Here is a run me and my squadron wingman just did. it was a C.A.S and we've only been flying together for a week. Notice how my wingman knows his position and is always near me.

Hope this makes some jug pilot's inner fire spark again! If you like whatcha see and would like to be apart of the 368th, just drop me a pm   ;).

I routinely see my knight countrymen ignore higher P-51s and Spits in order to dive on and gang a low P-47; and that goes double if the P-47 is already engaged with a single bandit.

Well...that DOES give said jug pilot an initial advantage, as most folks who would ignore a higher con to get an 'easy' kill are likely not too versed in SA, and assuming any jug is an easy kill just makes it worse

Well i routinely fly with my wingman so I'm never alone in a P-47 ( majority if i'm alone i'm flying the D11 ). But i don't let it bother me if i fly solo, I always keep my SA and my speed above 300. And also i train my squadron in proper and effective wing tactics to make there survival in the P47 increase.

But yes when people see a low jug they automatically assume it's a novice stick behind it. The 368th FG plans on changing this view... It won't be easy but we are determined to restore the P47s reputation.
