So close!
Congrats to CW3SF again and thank you Rick for organizing the challenge. Good idea to reboot older challenges. Count me in!

My thanks also Rick, count me in as well.
Hopefully I can last a little longer.

But gee 70+ victories in 30 sorties... better than 2 victories per sortie.
That's some darn good flying.
I have a lot of practicing to do.
Lot of times I fly the mission and do not see a soul.

Congrats to all survivors, to CW3SF and Fullofit for beeing the hotshots here. Hope all the others enjoyed their time, too.
And thank you Rick for setting up this challenge.
Was great fun, as always, although not for long. Young Lou Reed, from eastcoast, a wannabe Indie Rockstar ahead of his time, volunteered to serve in the Great War on the other side of the big ocean... he enjoyed his nimble Nieuport, he had some challenging missions, some uneventful flights aswell, had the honour to led his fellow pilots twice; had one large scale furball with Albs (A wing supported and in fact joined the battle), resulting in a confirmed kill,
another fight at his disadvantage saw him fleeding injured, forced to do a quick and uncomfortable emergency landing.
His sixth mission was desasterous, while trying to avoid being shot upon he forced his Nupe beyond her limits, resulting in a collapse of her left lower wing... Crashed in NML...

Was great fun anyhow and would love to join another challenge...

A round of applause for everyone involved and Rick for organizing it all smile

It's been a great challenge and some great stories have come out of it, even if most of our pilots didn't come out of it. I think CW3SF and Fullofit have more kills than I have in all my WOFF careers combined biggrin


If you're having trim problems, I feel bad for you son
I got ninety-nine problems, but my pitch ain't one...

Well, James Franco's secret is lots pf practice.



Make sure he is relaxed before every mission.



And if all else fails, pretend to be dead, let the enemy pull alongside you to naively check if you're really, really dead and not pretending and then:



Good luck to everyone in the next challenge. Can't wait!

Reboot the challenges ? , An interesting Idea. I have been in 3 I think ? and have bit the apple in un expected and nefarious ways at the hands of Mr Rawlings ingenious Challenges. Re doing all the Challenges would be pro-longed suffering and agony caused by not knowing what new method my pilot will die from. So I say to u E'LL Yes Count me in ! thumbsup
