~S~ Kling, awesome track M8 ! 
Talking about flying "out of your comfort zone" I think we have quite a few very good T and B flyer's in the K9's but very few equally good B and Z experts. This leads me to believe that most folks "comfort zone" is to get stuck in and see what happens. You , Ace and a couple of others seem to be the only ones who have the discipline to watch and wait for that low risk kill. 
That track shows that you can T and B with the best of us when thats what is required but not many of us ,(myself included) have the patience to B and Z well consistently. 
My own "out of comfort zone" experience was practicing with Pete, (Rattler) for the 2 vs 2 in P40Ms funnily enough, purely because of the no icons settings we were using  
That , rather than aircraft type seemed to effect the way I flew ,(got the crap shot out of me LOL).  
They used to say , and probably sill do, "first man to spot the enemy survives" 
Anyway, these are the ramblings of a very tired little soldier, (two busy night shifts), so please excuse M8. 
Hope all is still funky in Norway, cheers ,
