Looking for a dogfight

Vrrooooom! Pow! Ratatatatatatat, etc!

Well, I'm not a violent person. Really. But I've discovered that I truly like flopping about in virtual aircraft and sending Yellow Particle Effects of Doom in the direction of friends I am otherwise quite fond of. I've decided to think of this as more "aerial pillowfighting" than anything else, lest I feel too guilt-ridden about it.

Apologies aside, there are only so many times I can impose upon said friends. I was hoping there might be sims out there where this sort of nonsense goes on on a regular basis. I don't really care to join a paramilitary RP group or anything like that; I was looking for something more informal.

My chief aerial loves are WWI and earlier aircraft, but WWII might be amusing, too. I dislike modern combat aircraft, preferring things that goes mrrrrrrwwwww-pop-pop-pop up front. Whilst fond of zeppelins, I mostly was looking for fixed wing fun.

So, any ideas?

I think I'm in love.

How do you feel about biplanes? If there is such a sim, I am SO there!!

Peacetime is so hard on our pilots... we really ought to establish a VFW* fund.

*That's Veterans of Foreign Wars, not Virrginia For the Win!

Look for dogfight atoll on your map.

Sorry, I'm a Rotary Wing Girl

*swoons*

A top notch place to get in a fight.

Join the group "CCC Air Combat and Dogfighting", which exists for the sole purpose of looking for someone to scrap with.

I'm there!

Watchout Trout, I'm gunning for you!

Oh Dogfight Atoll looks fun! No one there when I went, but it seems as if it has regular air races and dogfight competitions. Spent a good half hour there flying my Nieuport through the sky rings (and into them....)

I apologize in advance for this one.


If your looking for a good dogfight ask Michael Vick.


again, my apologizes but it was a joke that had to be said, the title was just asking for it.

DAMN! You beat me to it!!!

I'm so reporting you to Animal Cops show.

Who's Michael Vick?

Googling him may have been quicker, but I think that if you make an obscure reference you have the responsibility to explain it

He is the Quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons and he is neck deep in a Dgg Fighting scandal. With real dogs. Not airplanes. Rumor is he will blame it on too much sugar. Or the Lindex.

If I manage to get past lag (and, um, my lack of coordination), I'd love to try something dog fight-ish....

I bought an Abranimations wing walker plane (it's pretty funny). What if I were flying with someone wing-walking and people were trying to knock the wing-walker off the plane?

Now THAT I would think was hilarious (but then, given some things that come to mind, I think some pretty ridiculous nights were the funniest I've ever had online...)

That reference is only obscure if you live in a cave.

On Mars.

In the 19th Century.

Sounds like Conan to me

Oh, wow, that idea just conjured up an image in my head...

Two Samurai warriors, each strapped to the top wing of their Stearman biplane, eye each other across the blue gulf as their pilots jockey for position. Suddenly, one warrior's plane rolls inverted, and the combatants rush at each other! Swords flash in the sunlight in an Aerial Death Duel...

Oh, somebody do this, please...and send me the machinima!

According to Wikipedia, he's some guy who was tried for tax evasion. I call that fairly obscure.

I think he played some kind of sport.....something a bit like a girl's version of rugby.

Still, I call that obscure.

Any sport you can survive without wearing pads is suspect, but I'll let you slip on that one, since I've seen rugby players tape their ears down to keep them from getting ripped off.

You get a pass on Michael Vick. He and his dog torture/fighting scandal are off the radar outside of the US. Basically, he's one of those pampered millionaire athletes who nobody has ever said no to. He bought a farm and used it to raise pit bulls for fighting. If the pit bulls didn't do well, he or his accomplices killed them - sometimes brutally. For example, they beat the dogs to death or electrocuted them. It's an awful story.

Ugh, how awful Makes me glad I usually live in the 19th century where animal cruelty is....oh, never mind.

/glances at copy of "Black Beauty" on shelf.

Well, on the road on a lappie right now, so no dogfighting of the fun kind. But soon enough, I will be back home with my desktop, ready to fire up my Nieuport. Hope to see some of you around Dogfight Atoll!

I have a small chunk missing from the top of my left ear for exactly this reason. It looks a bit like a bite.

You were in a dogfight?

No. The rugby thing.

I did get bit on the ear by a dog once though.

I know. It was a pathetic attempt at a joke.
