You ever see the Looney Tunes cartoon where the little dog is trying to get the big dog to let him join in all the fun?  Keeps jumping around and yapping so that the big dog will notice him.  Kinda reminds me of someone...  :p

Hehe ... I love that cartoon too. Makes me laugh. So, what's your point and how does it relate to the thread again?   :rolleyes:

The following comes from a previously recorded mission film:


:Skip To Break:

EA pulls up, and fires.  Down goes JCN, burning in flames, when only moments before it had been riding high and mighty.  

Host:

JCN shot down.
A kill has been recorded.

EA (macro)  BUNNY LUV WINS AGAIN!!  ALL HAIL EA!!

JCN:  WTF??  We are on the same team!

EA:  Sorry, crap happens, I shouldn't happen again.

JCN:  FYYFF, I'm switching countries.

EA begins climbing back to altitude, searching for more victims.  A little outburst like that doesn't faze EA--in fact, EA didn't even notice.

:Skip To Break:

EA spots AW, low, slow, already smoking, trying to make it home.

Over the radio:

EA:  Don't worry about me, I'll not shoot down a low smoking helpless target.  I'll even help you and ward off other attackers.

AW:  Thanks--I was really worried, I couldn't last another fight like this.

At this point, EA falls in behind the unsuspecting AW and opens fire with all guns.  AW falls to the ground and crashes in disbelief.

Host:

AW shot down
A Kill Has Been Recorded

EA (macro)  BUNNY LUV WINS AGAIN!  ALL HAIL EA!!

AW:  You said you were going to help me!

EA:  I lied. Unsuspecting targets are easier to kill.

AW:  Dweeb.

:End Of Film:

Now the question is, did EA manage to land those kills, or did it end up flaming into the ground as well?  Did it sacrifice all its advantages and ailenate its friends just to dishonorably pick off a few non-threatening targets?  Or is it going to get away to vulch another day?

Time will tell.

Damn.

Haven't flown AW in about six years (since giving up on trying to get anybody to fly full realism on Compuserve) but it's still sad to see the old girl go.  Closest thing I could compare it to would be seeing a warbird go under the guillotine at Davis-Monthan.  :(

<Salute>

AW was fun while it lasted and
spawned a cool variety of communities
and on-line personalities....
