I'd like to say that it's reserved for those afraid to step away from the training wheels of the Spit16, but that is not accurate.

I've been called an alt-monkey more times than I can count.

yea,....kind of gets old after a bit, eh?

especially when ya tend to be at somewhere in the ballpark of 5 to 10k.....10k being when i'm buff hunting...or trying to match someone elses altitude.........

but for the spit thing..........don't swet what anyone else thinks. it's not their busines what you fly.

despite tha claims that spitfires take no skill, they DO. they simply require a DIFFERENT skillset than a 109, or a p51.
 fly whatch want, and have fun.
and if ya get your very own ankle humper......pity him, as it simply means he;s got nothing better in his life.  :aok

Spitfires require skill just like anything does.


The main difference is the stability of the airframe.


I suppose it gives the feel of ease as it is 'easier to fly'.

Ultimately the winner will be the smarter, more knowledgeable driver.


I fly 109s.

But what is a Spitdweeb?
The literal truth behind "dweeb" sometimes begins to get muddled by those new to the flight sim community. The fact is, we who play these flight sims are all dweebs. So sayeth the much venerated and wise Book of Dweeb. Let not the young of our world stray from the wisdom of the Book of Dweeb.

I was simply going to quote from the Book of Dweeb till I saw your post, then I thought what the hell  :D

"For all who play at Warbirds shalt always be Dweebish. Dweebs wert thou born. Dweebs thou art. Dweebs shalt thou be." And it was good.

Jingo nailed it.

If your here, if you fly the unfriendly skys of AH, your a dweeb, period. Accept it.


Putting any kind of a label in front of that dweeb is mostly people trying to deal with the fact that you just shot them down.

Everyone flys, everyone dies, get over it, get a new plane, and try again.

Never listen to anyone trying to tell you what to fly, or HOW to fly.
Its your dime, do it your way. (Although you will catch a lot of static if all you do is HO)

Its a fun little plane, and IMO under estimated by many,  but it also seems to draw the LA7s and Spit16s.  But when you kill one in it...mucho perkies! hehe

If you love the Spitfire, not because it can turn great, or climb well, but because of it's beauty and history, you are a SPITTYDWEEB!!  :D
