Country:  | Nah...just a realist.
I would go fight but would be nervous about it.
I wrestled in college and at least found the more afraid I was of losing the better I did. It was only when fear went away and I got confident that I lost.
When I realised this fact that I would make up things in my head to create fear.
No I don't play video games.
Actually a little bit of nerves can be healthy.
10 years ago I was involved in a shooting and did win and it was the scariest thing that ever happened to me. After that alot of the false bravado was drained from me.
While that was only one incedent I do appreciate the saying from many veterans that soldiers pray for peace and are prepared for war. I do know all do not feel that way.
Nope, I am not a fighter pilot. I do find reading the history of them interesting however.
Are you a fighter pilot?
Cheat...perhaps a poor choice of words but I have read in many stories that many successful figher pilots did not like to get caught up in fur balls and looked for targets of opportunity. In fact I think many kills were just that. |

| Duh, do u think??? Are u aware that in over 80% of all victories recorded in World War II, the pilot shot down was unaware of his impending doom???
As my Grandfather was a member of the Black Sheep, I can tell u with much certainty that if u hesitated in combat, u died....
Im not even quite sure why u made that original moronic post in the first place, as it made no sense to the converstaion... This conversation and discussion concern 2 compatible aircraft in ideal circumstances, not who was flying, and in what capacity YOU would make the rules???
Oh and another thing: Quote: |
10 years ago I was involved in a shooting and did win
| Wow.... U won huh??? Was it a fast draw competition??? A spot on the Olympic Team??? Gimmie a break with the false bravado bullsh!t pal... I can smell it 3 miles away...

Country: | Hancock County Indiana. Circle K convience store. Detective Munden Investigating officer. Ask if it happend. 4 went to prison...not me. You will be able to recognize my name and elements from my handle match.
No false bravado. I would never want to do it again.
It is not much fun to tell the truth and no one believe it.
I thought this would be an interesting place but I find it actually a very rude place.
Please close my account.
This is no place for me. | |

Country:  | Maybe wrong on this but wasn't the Sea Fury the only one to down a Mig?
Plus it was the only Anglo-German aircraft design collaboration of WW2  | |

Country: | Yeah but in the Korean War? - ie a proper Mig, rather than ME262?
According to wiki the Sea Fury could take on the Mig 15 with some confidence - surely that's a measure of greatness?
I'm genuinely asking, not challenging what you say. | |

Country: | And Wikipedia is also one of the worst sources to use because anyone can edit and post what is said in it.
Dont take me wrong, I use it as well for quick searches of things but you have to take some of it as a grain of salt and be absolute sure of the truth if you are going to use it as a source.
