My apologies Matt... to you and anyone bothered by this exchange.
Normally, now, these conversations are run on a smaller group from this list... but this issue popped up here and was responded to.

It would be awesome if both of you and anyone else thinking it is important to settle this to do it off-list.
Just a thought, but do what you think is best for you and for the rest of us watching!

Amazing how many times you can be wrong in a simple paragraph. Perhaps you should make a mental note to maintain that you actually know what others see or think. Just because you perceive things in a certain way does NOT mean others do in
kind.
I'm not on a side. I was being facetious. You clearly didn't see that. The only joke was about egos which, you have made clear, you also don't see. But I will make a mental note that we can only joke about Doctors and Dentists dieing in plane and car
crashes but then say that self-cleansing is neither judgmental nor a joke. (wink, wink)
War is not a joking matter, regardless of the side you are on.
Rick,
I was being facetious.
Then once again, you really are in the wrong place... and out of line.
If it's true (I have no reason to doubt it), six kills in one day is a monumental accomplishment. To my knowledge, it's only been done twice before by US pilots - Alex Vraciu, June 19, 1944. Alex was a US Navy pilot protecting the aircraft
carrier Lexington from the Japanese and David McCampbell, also Navy, scored 9 in one day at the Battle of Leyte Gulf.
There were 5 German Aces in WWII who had 15 or more in one day, Emil Lang shot down 18 Russians in one day in 1943 but like so many German aces he was lost a year later. During WWII the Luftwaffe pilots flew an agonizing number of missions,
few survived. For perspective, the highest scoring US pilot of WWII was Dick Bong with 40. His counterpart in the Luftwaffe was Erich Hartmann with 352. I have no love lost on the Nazis but I certainly have respect for the individual pilot's accomplishments
in the face of almost certain death and under a grueling pace.
My only comment on "The Ghost" is that I hope he goes on to live a long life... Sadly, very few top Aces do. Six kills in one day makes him a top Ace and worthy of any pilot's respect from any country in any time period. That he did it in
a Russian plane, with Russian training has got to sting a bit... in Russia. Honestly, I don't know who's side to take in this conflict. They both seem wrong... as is our diplomacy.
Before you go getting your "feelings" wound up... by kills, we use that to refer to the plane, not it's pilot.
I was waiting for comments about Ukrain and why the Ghost of Kyiv is not special.
This ‘List has been quiet lately, so what better way to wake it up than with non-Ferrari content...
If anyone remembers a month or so ago I had mentioned that of any car I would like to convert into electric power, it would be a Bentley. Well, looks like I’m not the only one who thought of that (and stepped up the game using a Rolls Phantom):
globalnews.ca
- richmond man converts rolls royce
Maybe too late considering Rolls is planning on “rolling” out it’s all electric New Dawn next year...
