Once upon a time, when I saw a P38; I would smile, knowing that very soon there would be one less P38 in the area.
Then I ran into a p38 that had a very hot stick flying it, and I was wrestled to a draw. Soon after, I was getting hammered by the damn things. Nowadays I see one, then I'm seeing a problem... I see two; I see a nylon letdown in the making. Three, and it's time to get outta Dodge.
I dunno if the flight models been 'fixed', or there are more dedicated pilots that enjoy obstructed views and fragile tails... in either case, the population density of the Forked Tailed Devils would seem to be on the increase.
<S!> Lightnings! Now, please; go kill an FW and leave me the hell alone.
