Could you perhaps expand on the details and why Skyrock is a great AH pilot?

So you are stating that all the "great" pilots of AH past & present are nothing more than "gamers of the game"?

As this game does not fully simulate real flight in all areas.....and we are not involved in combat with real aircraft, we are all gamers of the game......the best are just the best at it.....so yes...

An honest and thoughtful answer.

I agree with Canspec 100%.    But this wasn't as rampant back then, as it is now.

 that's pretty much it right there..... I fly to have fun and have fun with my friends I could care less about score, rank or perks... I understand there's a lot of competitive people who feel the need that they have to be number one.... reality check it's a cartoon game.

well, u are all wrong, a fighter guy can never be better than a bomber.

Since it hasn't exactly been said yet:

I think an important measure of "greatness" (in anything) is being equally respected/admired by those you compete AGAINST as you are by those who are on your side.

My two cents.

Scavenger (Terry Naughton) never flew Aces High (though I'm sure he woulda). I missed getting to know this guy (in more than epitath) by a couple of years. I think we woulda gotten along just fine:

Here's the true definition of a great pilot:

He's the guy who orders all the rounds at the table, all the while animatedly telling you of his last great run whilst simultaneously peeing on your shoe, winking at the waitress and feeling up your wife. When the Bar Tab comes he extends to reset.

LOL.

Great thread BTW!

I think the very best sticks in game are able to able move beyond the notions of how an aircraft should perform in various circumstances, to perfecting how an aircraft does perform and what it is really capable of doing as modeled in the game. They think out of the box and with much practice, are able to make the cartoon planes perform in unexpected ways. Also alot have a better ability to think in 3D when gaming in a 2D environment.
