For contrast, here is this true story:

Two weeks or so ago, I took my 91-year-old mother to get her first Covid shot.  After half an hour waiting in line, we finally got to the little desk with all the syringes in the box and a pleasant woman waiting to stick people with them.  My mother sat down for her shot.  I remained standing.  The woman looked at me, then at my mother.  Back at me, back at my mother.

"Is this your husband?" she asked.

Good news for my mother.  An unpleasant moment for yours truly.

Maybe she thought your Mom was a cougar.  :aok

OK, got it.

12,220 sorties as a "fighter"
5110 sorties as "Attack" (this is all planes for both)

22,196 kills out of 28,440 are P38 victories
7,725 out of 11,161 deaths in a P38
2.34 K/D out of 2.55 K/D in P38

This got me thinking........that can be dangerous.

I sat down last night and did total kills to deaths from Tour 16 when I first upped a Jug to late war tour 121, Feb 2010.  Did all models of Jugs and all deaths including attack and fighter sorties.

I quit at that point.  Looks like I have another ten years at least of stats to look at.  I'm not doing it.  To time consuming.

Anyway 13,058 Kills in all models of Jugs and 3,785 deaths in all models with a k/d ratio of 3.445 for the first ten years.  I don't need to do anymore.  I'm asking wtf happened to to me in the last ten years.  :rofl
