I have read the posts. I have watched the films. MY gut instinct is SkyTiger isn't a shade. Granted he did pop off on 200 when he should have kept quiet or at least muted his response. Karaya's radio messages indicate in the first film he didn't believe that SkyTiger was wounded when he broke off the fight. The blood on the canopy proves he was. Hurricane MKI is good at that. As far as calling off his countrymen, I wouldn't have either. It wouldn't enter my mind unless they asked. My mind would be fully involved with the kill or not getting killed. He did post the films.
Picking up the terminology doesn't take long. Most of it was being used back in the AW days. Just updated for new plane types. If one has an interest in fighter planes one probably has some knowledge of ACM just from reading.
AAR's have been posted since AW days. Those that remember Scavenger remember he posted them when he was new. They are a hoot to read to this day.
I think you guys need to cut him some slack. Of course I may be missing some information and will end up wishing I kept my mouth shut.
SkyTiger, I think at this point, you may want to keep a lower profile......and don't tune to 200. I don't most of the time.
