Was she...?
 

As I take off, retracts my gears, and turn my head to see where my wingie is going I notice a girl on a bicycle with flowing blond hair and billowing skirt waving to me as she pedals along the country road.
Going out of sight under my wing, and never, never to be seen again.

And the next thing you see, after staring at the girl, is hangar H. Then, nothing... :-P

Then nothing?

Then a shinning light at the end of a dark tunnel!. Or maybe some guys with red skin, goat legs, little horns in the head, and a trident on their hand.

Or maybe just the Station doc and a hot nurse :mrgreen:

That's way better than the shinning light! :D

Surprise!
 

The fun things would be the happenings that are trigged to happen just once in ten thousand.
Like you have a “Hun” on your six blowing holes in your kite and you decide it’s time to leave the “office” but as you press Ctrl+E: instead of the regular dangling in the Shute scene there is a: “YOUR FOOT IS STUCK!” and then in; one-two-three-four seconds your whole life passes in front of you. Youarebornyoucanwalkyoucanbicycleooopsyoustartscho olyuograduateyourfirstgirlyoujoinRAFyourfirstsolof light and the POFF! You are floating underneath the canopy of your Shute as you see your Spit spiraling downwards to the ground.
Scary stuff!

You mean the RoF dev's ?

:grin:

Life is too short to read through all 14 pages to make sure it has not already been suggested. Here goes:

1. Friendly fire (bomber gunners being jumpy, being bounced by friendly hurricanes/109/110's and more).
2. Undisciplined wingmen go off chasing enemy.
3. Pilots trying to show off, doing stunts, flying too close perhaps etc. Consequence ranging from commander (angry) interruption, nothing at all, or actually crashing. Happened in the real war (109's stunting over POW camps holding airmen - British doing victory rolls over their airfield when coming back from sortie but having damaged airframes they did not know about).
4. Pilot or crew unable to get themselves extracted from their plane when trying to bail (heart breaking panicking heard over radio). Can include those stuck in burning cockpits.
5. Accidents pertaining to ground crew & vehicles & aircraft. Including fuel ignited by someone smoking, severely fatigued pilots veering off left on take off (109's especially) heading straight into the crew barracks (happened).
6. Landing gear not coming down on some aircraft when about to land. Sometimes pilots unaware. Sometimes someone telling the pilot (also if player) that their gear isn't fully down.
7. Blacked out pilots (can be due to injury, G-loc or altitude poisoning) causing the plane to do erratic flight behaviour (including loops, or leveling out from dives into crazy zooms) - and the other pilots who see it voice their reactions on radio "wake up!" "pull up!" "jump!" etc.
8. Pilots & Crew voicing brief shocked reactions to seeing own side bomber/plane get shot down in brutal ways (explode, crash into ground, split in half etc).
9. Unintentional crew-strikes (replace bird with air crew). Not very likely but still :p
10. Pieces of aircraft striking own aircraft (oil/coolant over the hood, aircraft parts causing damage, even severe damage to own plane). Falling debris is dangerous.
11. Smoke in cockpit.
12. Own canopy will not jettison or open - stuck! Better find some way of ditching it somehow.. And if on fire, well...
13. Knocked unconcious temporarily on bail out.
14. British airbase crew running/scattering like crazy when they see bombs falling towards them (I have seen similar in a mod showing AA crew abandoning their gun when scared, and soldiers jumping off and running from their transport trucks - amazing stuff)
15. Civilian motor vehicles doing funny things if scared (fly towards them low level from the front and they drive into the ditch)
16. People on the ground being seen ducking down when aircraft flies low over them.
17. Pilots trying to join enemy formation - thinking they are friendly (but realizing at some point that they are enemy - when alongside or when still trying to approach).
18. People on ground running towards any crashed/ditched aircraft, including failed landings.
19. Armed civilians (hunters with shotguns or rifles) as well as soldiers shooting at any 'target of opportunity' passing by. Not a big risk, but they could get real lucky (bye bye coolant/glass cockpit window etc).

"Good... afternoon."

"Good afternoon my arse, you bosche bastard!"

:mrgreen:

I would be interesting to hear at least once Polish guys saying "Repeat Please!" over the radio :-P

Moments like this, but obviously with german or british aircrafts! :)
