Blairgowrie Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Anybody know how it's going so far? I have been to Joint Ops and can't find anything on it. Quote
Kimosabi Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Finalists V391FE_Bojan - 580 pts. N213FE_Eagle - 580 pts. V309FS_Hollywood - 510 pts. V250WL_Eshark - 430 pts. V518RN_Vintage - 420 pts. Other Scores V131WL_Painless - 410 pts. (Alternate) V513PT_Eddy - 335 pts. N093SD_Raptor - 310 pts. Bojan was all "oooh, Eddy's a lion" and stuff on TS the other day. I guess he had the lion caged in his back yard all the time. Good thing I messed up and couldn't make it to TG, I wouldn't have had a chance against those dudes. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Anybody know how it's going so far? I have been to Joint Ops and can't find anything on it. That's because they are over controlling, and hide all thier stuff, but the very basics. They could easily open up more areas, to the none paying members to view, and lock out the ability to post. This would allow the none payers to see how good things are and entice them to pay. As is most just leave after BFS. Thanks Kimo Its nice to see Bojan in the running, Sorry Painless, your not a shoe in for the finals. I was hoping you guys could push Eagle down and out, without my help. If he was last qualifier, I'd pay my dues today, just to bump him out hehehe Since I won it last year and have a guaranteed spot in the final. He's won it enough times already. Quote
Kimosabi Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Unless Painless or Bojan posts up the final scores, I will. Those were qualification scores from yesterday, no post up on final scores yet. Besides Painless and Bojan, I was kinda hoping Vintage would battle it out on the top there. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Yeh Vintage and Hollywwod I know personally, I met them both in Ohio, Vintage is a real cutup, fun to pick on, and throws it right back, and often instigates it. Big son of a gun too, at least a foot taller than me. Hollywood was my wingman last years TG, and the only chap over there that sends me PM's out of the blue. I tried my best to get him enough points to qualify for the 2nd day last year. Did you compete this year Kimo? Edit: Its posted http://www.joint-ops...1;topicseen#new Congrats Bojan! Quote
Blairgowrie Posted February 20, 2011 Author Posted February 20, 2011 I see Bojan won it this year. Well done mate. Quote
Kimosabi Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Well Toad, I was Alzheimer enough to promise to lend a hand to my dear mother and sister out for their annual trip to IKEA on saturday. I was back an hour late to make TG. Yeah, both Woodie and Vintage are really nice blokes and easy to talk to. I've flown wingman with both and they both are superb wingmen. Congrats Bojan! Well deserved! Quote

1. DDz Quorum Pooka Posted February 21, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 21, 2011 Way to go Bojan, those few days of flying with the Dogz put the razor back on your edge. Good for you mate. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 21, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 21, 2011 Congratulations Bojan! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted February 21, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 21, 2011 Salute Bojan, well done mate! Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted February 21, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 21, 2011 ~S~ Chaps, Although I had a terrible time in qualifying and didn't make the finals, I am so delighted that Mr Bojan won it this year. He could and should have won it last year but for getting confused in the heat of the moment about which runway he should have landed on in the very last event ( I think that is the only time I have heard Bojan swear on TS ! LOL ) TOAD M8, you then made your famous landing breaking the aircraft in half , catching on fire and dying but with main gear in contact with the surface which counts as a success in the JO rule book. A rule which ironically you had campaigned against fo some time. Still rules is rules and you got the win. This year Bojan didn't need anybodies "help" to beat some great virtual pilots including Mr Eagle !!! Hows this for sad ......for the 2 vs 2 I was paired up with Mr Eddy and I thought "great we have a good chance of doing well here", but when it came to it neither of us could turn the P40M with 100% fuel at any speed or any altitude without stalling. It was terrible, both of us flopping out of the sky like falling leaves every 20 seconds then......BANG a large hole appears in one of your wings and you know it's over !! I must admit I swore quite alot but remembered not to push the comms button LOL. Bojan spends many hours teaching BFS, AFS, and now Formation Aerobatics, so to a man who gets off his arse and gives back way more than he takes from Joint Ops........................... !!S!! DD_BOJAN. The scores for Top Gun 2011 are as follows: V391FE_Bojan - TOP GUN 1595 Pts. N213FE_Eagle 1495 Pts. V518RN_Vintage 1340 Pts. V309FS_Hollywood 1230 Pts V250WL_Eshark 1080 Pts. ~S~ Painless.

T_O_A_D Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Painless I heard rumor that they have corrected the rules so a lousy landing like that can't qualify anymore. I hope so, I still say if somethings broke you should get pa penalty, of some sort. I remember both of us, being disappointed in our Bojan getting confused that day. And neither actually caring if we won it. I still have the high score though. 1735 two years ago, and 1615 last year. Dam point whore Quote
GreyKnight Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Well done indeed to Mister Bojan! How many people take part in this competition then? Not just the finals. Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 There is over 2000 JO members and all of them in the past could try the first day. As of last year you have to pay dues, to be involved in Top gun, Top bomb, and other things. I'm sure that curtails, the number quite a bit. Free membership is only for Basic flight school anymore. Now even before, they seldom ever field 20 pilots, on the first day. Most guys i guess are intimidated or don't care to try. This year they only fielded 8 pilots. I think last year only 10. A bit more 2 years ago. @Kimo I did really expect you to be there this year. With the skill you've acquired this last year hunting me down like a dog, and anyone else you considered a nice notch in your belt, you'd been quite a contender no doubt. @Bojan, watch your six, there's going to be more looking for you this year than ever before.

JensenPark Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I think this should be re-named Joint Ops DD-TopGun by the looks of it... Bojan, Toad, Painless, OB... Quote
Bojan Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 ~S~ Thank you guys. I am overjoyed. And you are absolutely right - Dogs won it again :) Howl, howl, howl... Drinks for everibody!!!! Cheers Bojan Quote
Crash Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Drinks for everibody!!!! Cheers Bojan Sounds like a plan Bojan Well done mate. Quote
Snacko Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Congrats Bojan! I have been wondering what you have been doing and where you have been flying! Maybe I'll have to take another JO class with you as my teacher so I can be teacher's pet! Bhaaa... Quote
