You are right Steve I couldn't do it. But if by some miracle I did I wouldn't post it on BB, because I think its bad form.

I agree with you, actually. 100%.   I wouldn't have posted it on the main bbs either, for the reason you mentioned.

All your years and posts that's the best hook you can bait? Save the 200 style taunts for the newbies Steve.

an impressive streak would be one done entirely on your own without the support of squadies,which we all know 90% of top "sticks" cant pick their own noses without a gaggle of helpers.

Hmmm. I ran one off once without my squad even knowing. I told them when I was done.

 Then again, I'm really good at picking my own nose.    :D

Funny how at least 180 of the kills I did was while everyone from The Few squadron was a bed, I had to play during the morning just to find enough people to kill. Europe peak time pales in comparison to US peak time.

One thing's for sure. I sure wouldn't have been forced into a tree that morning, if I had single wingman who didn't take 3 attempts to shoot a perfectly still target.

I don't doubt they can fight on their own. Flying with a wingman is more difficult for me you have to have Patience and be able to coordinate not as easy as it seems.

Steve, didn't you post some sort of similar thread a while pack? I can't remember. The main reason why I posted up my score to begin with was not for boasting, but to have a good laugh that I was only 1 kill away from my goal before I died, I think TonyJoey was the only person who noticed it.

Steve, didn't you post some sort of similar thread a while pack? I'm sure it was something to do with a 100 kill streak you posted in general, picture included?

Kaz, I didn't mean to sound like I'm judging your choice, sorry. I know you so I didn't give a thought that you might be boasting. A stranger might, though.

Besides, who was it that said "It ain't bragging if you can back it up"?

I talked about a kill streak a while back, I think, but the thread turned to talk of fishing, which is much more interesting to me.  :aok

IMHO any streak I've personally been on can be attributed to a string of good luck for dodging the numerous pitfalls I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread, rather than any measure of skill.

I can'tfly with wingmen.  They "get in the way." lol  I've seen Kazaa fly, and I can almost guarantee he didnt need someone bailing him out

Yeah I wanna know if it might have been due to a few hits with a Navy fighter squadron member who might have been in the area last night. The suspense of that is killing me to know who got the kill.

Bonesaw got credit; However, a Spitfire Mk.XVI, P38-L and a tree shared the victory with him. :D

If I ever meet Bonesaw, I'll be buying him a beer for sure.

What's the point of flying by yourself if you have friends on?  That's not very fun.  That's like drinking in the corner of the bar when your buddies are picking up all the chicks.
