How to do a flip

[bobbysocks]

oh hell yeah koz.....there is NO way a ww2 aircraft is going to get close to what the stuff now days can do. but, ya know that was a time that will never happen again! jet jocks are how old when they hit the seat?? in ww2....in the UK, US, USSR, and on the "otherside" ....these boys weren't old enough to VOTE or DRINK ( most states) in the US. automobiles had a hard time doing 80 miles per hour ( 140kph...quick calculation per rum induced whatever.. ) ....no these KIDS were strapping in the seats of cool as s#!t aircraft that was hitting unheard of speeds of over 450 mph.....going to 30k feet and doing actual dogfighting! no F'n respawn here....dead is dead. limited ammo...limited fuel...do what you go to do to win AND make it back to fight another day! there will never EVER be that opportunity....or God lets hope it never gets to THAT point.... for boys that young to do that. we read reports and view them....yeager, anderson, kit carson, galland, (HUGE apologizes dont know uk or russian aces names)....whatever nationality as MEN. and ya know, they were kids....boys. 18, 19, 20 something doing THAT for their country. and i am not trying to make heros out of winners. there were countless german, italian, japanese boys who strapped in their seats and headed into the skies in hopes of saving their nation and saving the world. my father, told me when i was older....reflecting on his war "victories" .... ya know...they were boys doing and giving everything for their country, patriotic, the same as i was...i got to go home to my mother and father...marry and have children and they didnt. yeah i am freaking ripped (not bad typing or grammer though you have to credit me there) and i will probably read this in the morning maybe be embarrassed .... but we play these games as games. they were based on a real life event that cost every nation heartache and suffering. maybe we ought to take a minute of our precious time and offer up a salute to those courageous boys...those with us...and those who never came home. then lets take to the air and do them proud. i put my axe to the soapbox...torched and solemnly swear i will never post after drinking again.
