The fights I remember, the ones that really stand out over 10 years, tend to have one thing in common.
Either I was outnumbered, or they had a major advantage.
What makes them stand out is giving it all you've got and turning the situation around. Using tactics, ACM, and skill to turn the tables.
Now timid would have been there in the first place.
And most likely wouldn't have stayed around to fight in the second.
Thats ok, we each pay our 15$ a month and we fly it our way. That is as it should be.
And some days the "force"is with us, and we pull off things we really didn't expect to survive.
Other days we go down in flames, but we go down swinging.
I tangled with 4 ponys once, might have shot one down, I know they were all over me.
I pulled every trick out of the hat and invented a couple of new ones.
In the end I pulled off a ditch once I was shot to pieces. Exited out laughing and happy as could be.
Some times you just have to buck the odds, to truly measure yourself.
I think all to often to many of us fall into the trap of thinking that winning is everything.
Sometimes losing with style can be more rewarding, and more entertaining, certainly creates more memory's that last.
Take a chance, get out of the herd and stand on your own. Give it your best, win, lose or draw.
The planes are for the most part free, its only our ego's that get damaged.
