Seems a bit easy to do that if you ask me...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

in no way was it easy...............

 

[lesofprimus]

Actually it was probably easy if luck was with you through your first 20 combat missions or so.... Many Americans did not make Ace status because their time in combat was very limited, and targets were rare....

Nowadays, its almost impossible to make ace...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

i believe the highest scoring modern jet pilot has 2 kills under his belt??

 

[lesofprimus]

Modern???? Are Phantoms over Vietnam modern???

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

[lesofprimus]

I would consider any combat past 1985 or so to be modern....

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

well i tend to define british war effoerts, particularily into 3 groups, the Hunter era 1950-1960, any thing that happened when the hunter was our primary jet, the Lightening era1960-1980, anything that happened when the EE lightening was our frontline jet, and, suprisingly enough, the tornado era 1980-today, stuff that's happened with the tornado as out primary jet............

 

[lesofprimus]

Surprised you didnt comment on my posted statistics up there..... One american had 3 Kills in Iraq...... I havent been able to find stats on the recent war, but Im sure that there were not as many targets for the airforce and navy to fire upon...

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

is it true that during the first gulf war not one single abrams tank was lost??

 

[cheddar cheese]

Challenger II - Good

Abrams - Bad

 

[lesofprimus]

Dude u have seriously got to give up smoking crack.... Try smokin some weed or something.... The Abrahms is one hell of a tank.... And I do believe we lost a few tanks in the Gulf War.... Some to freindly fire....
