I'm indifferent and it's a matter of wanting to stay away from the whole Michael Vick situation, whether he is involved or not. I'm not saying anything about dogfighting or anyone who might be involved in it.
The German Luftwaffe always fought without any reserves. This is also the reason why we have pilots with extremely high numbers of victories.
From what I hear, dogfighting is a sport. It's just behind closed doors.
Growing up I was a huge Michael Vick fan.
Michael Vick is my favorite player.
Fighter pilots rove in the area allotted to them in any way they like, and when they spot an enemy they attack and shoot them down.... Everything else is rubbish.
I'm sure the most favorite airplane in my career would still be the Sabre F86 cleft wing , which allowed me to be credited with 2 Russian-built Mig-15 destroyed during the Korean War. Where I was in 1953.
I was a fighter pilot, flying Hurricanes all round the Mediterranean. I flew in the Western Desert of Libya, in Greece, in Syria, in Iraq and in Egypt.
Dogs and their well-being is one of my biggest passions in life. The Michael Vick case brought the issue of dogfighting to light... he knew what he was doing and never deserved to play in the NFL again.
The third peculiarity of aerial warfare was that it was at once enormously destructive and entirely indecisive.
'Dogfight' holds a special place in my heart, and I try to sing the songs whenever I can.
I've always been intrigued by fighter pilots and strategy because it occurs in like, milliseconds, you know.
Everything in the air that is beneath me, especially if it is a one seater . . . is lost, for it cannot shoot to the rear.
To conquer the command in the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat.
The experienced fighting pilot does not take unnecessary risks. His business is to shoot down enemy planes, not to get shot down.
