Skyrr, I told you I'll let you argue about how you're never wrong til you croak.

Take it up with Shaw. Here's the preface of his book (you claim to have read):

(Ctrl + to zoom text if need be.)

(Image removed from quote.)

or .... just go here: http://books.google.com/books?id=hBxBdKr0beYC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false

Posting a photo of a book page does not negate the three false statements in your previous post.
Skyyr

Tours:
166 - 190
198 - 204
218 - 220
286 - 287
290 - 296

nrshida: "I almost beat Skyyr after he took a 6 year break!"
A few moments later...

vs Shane: 30-11

KOTH Wins: 6, Egos Broken: 1000+

Mmmmm... tears.

I am really tempted to give bob a call to give him a huge laugh.



Who do you think took this picture of me flying a P51 in a formation loop?

Or who do you think bent my RV8 with an excursion threw the weeds?

Or  who do you think taught me to fly formation?

And who taught me the basics of aerodynamics when I first started writing flight models?

He was not the first to analyze tactics (as you falsely claim); he was the first to develop a list of fundamentals that others could utilize.

How can one develop a fundamental list of tactics without analyzing?

Jesus skyyr.. I can't believe you're still arguing this.. You were wrong 6-8pages ago and still wrong.. Let it go man..

Oil Can Skyyr...can't stop throwing hammers and walking the lineup.

Edit:  HiTechs strategy was to expose Skyyr for being a pompous stiffy.  His tactic was to wait until Skyyr made himself look like a pompous stiffy and then make a post on the BBS pointing out HOW he he made himself look like a pompous stiffy.

BOOM! 

I've been staring at my copy of Shaw, which sits on the shelf here next to my computer, and was really close to pointing out all Skyyr's misquotes and misinterpretations of the book in this thread and others, but this would have broken my rule of ignoring the troll.

Then HiTech handles it so perfectly.  Fantastic!

He did, don't think he's flown AH in quite awhile.  He also used to play Warbirds and Air Warrior, his call sign was "mouse" if I recall correctly.

His callsign in AW was 'Mouse', I believe. Others can better verify (or deny to help protect the guilty).

Doh, Ack-Ack beat me to it.
