A Big Thank You to Lewis

[No.119_Viper (VK-S)]

This is just to say A Very Big Thank You to Lewis
Whom spent the best part of 3 hrs with me tonight, sorting out my Info-windows, Engine management and aircraft systems, by switching over from analogue to digital, which in turn has made flying my baby ( Spit 1a 100oct) Much Simpler, thereby freeing up valuable thinking/processing time to focus on the real job, that of Flying, navigation, spacial awareness, aircraft recognition, predicting the enemy's next move and last but definitely not least, Shooting the bad guys down.

It was also a pleasure just chatting with you in general and being the recipient of your kind, endless patience.

Thank You Loads Lewis

A class act our Lew, well done m8

[ATAG_Pattle]

He is a legend our Lewis.

Bards from times of yore have sung songs around many a RAF station about the man.

One of the more popular sung with gusto and sung by Vera Lynn to rousing applause is;

Lewis, Lewis
To the 109 snappers
He never threwus,

Always there
With an hour or three
to spare

To make sure us newbies were OK
So next time
At the Dawn of a new day

When we turned on our rig
We would have our heart set on CloD
To shoot down a 109 bod

And to ask him nicely
Please legend Lew
Can you set up my new Sig!

Hmmm maybe we should have a COD limerick contest

There was a young man called Lew
For the cunning red side he flew
<insert words to finish limerick>

Or something like this (a childhood fave)

Mary had a little lamb
She fed it kerosene
One day it got too near a fire
And its never since benzene

Sorry, carry on dont mind me

Ezzie

[PreyStalker]

You asked for it Ezzie....

There was a young man called Lew
For the cunning red side he flew
He was happy to help the noobs
Even happier if they had boobs
Oh, and he could fly a bit too



Sorry Susie but what else rhymes with noobs ?

[ATAG_Snapper]

Prey Stalker, you owe me a morning coffee. Just lost mine on my keyboard thanks to you!

[ATAG_Highseas]

A ditty I knocked up for snapper
a pilot who flys like the clappers
he flys at his best
after taking a rest
from that heartbreaker girl, (yeah that slapper)

[Bonditaria]

There was an old pilot called Lewis
Helped all the clod players what new is
With simple CEM
Avoid again and again
A radiator what blew is!

[Silent135]

There was a young man called Lew,
For the cunning red side he flew,
When chasing the hun, because of the sun,
was blind as Mr Magoo.

[farley]

There once was a pilot named Lew
Someone said that he had loose a screw
But he flew like the devil
"Never long straight and level"
Being one of the things that he knew

[farley]

There once was a pilot named Lew
Before each flight he'd go have a poo
He said "If I'm hit
I'll nay have a shit
Like the rest of you young bastards do!"

[ATAG_Highseas]

Hahahaha

[ATAG_Highseas]

I've heard of this pilot named Lew
At Duxford he had quite a few
And well don't you know
He missed half the show
down to fifty five gallons of brew

[ATAG_Freya]

There once was a man named Enus

meh, nevermind...

Good going, Lewwwww

[DerDa]

To Viper spoke veteran Lewis
If you do it like this, then you miss!
With advise and Spitfire
she now flies much higher
to spot where an unfortunate blue is.

[farley]

Well since we are onto limericks, I'll leave you with one of the classics, that i have from reliable sources, was written about our own ATAG_Dave.....

There once was a young man named Dave
Who kept a dead whore in a cave.
He said "I admit, I'm a bit of as shit,
But look at the money I save."

EDIT: Sorry, i got a bit carried away there....

To back up a bit, very nice post Susie. Very nice of you to give Lew the credit he deserves. He offers a lot to this community for sure.
I'm glad that your time was well spent and that you were able to sort out some issues thanks to Lew.
Now you get to enjoy the flying even more!

[ATAG_Lewis]

Thanks Viper...and thanks for the limericks fellas...Spilt my coffee too!

Haha...I do my best...~S~

[ATAG_Pattle]

Looks like I have started something akin at ATAGVision - entries just as outrageous as the singing contest!

Nice work all

There was a young fella name Farley
His limericks, crickey, they are narley
What's he on!
The green stuff by the ton?
Nahhh,
But you'd think he was channeling
Bob Marley
But he rates Lew
One of our few.

[Vlerkies]

Good man Lewis


That's what this community is about, assisting people as much as possible to bridge the gap from new pilot to Ace, getting started is the more challenging bit. After that, blue skies and tailwinds!


Welcome to the madhouse Susie. Lots of fun and laughter to follow for sure.

[ATAG_Highseas]

A pilot chimed in name of Vlerkies
which in Limerick terms is a Turkey
you can try all you like
to make rhymes of a type
but let's face it it's gonna sound quirkey

[Vlerkies]

There once was this pilot called Highseas
Who thought flying spitfires was a breeze
As confused as he was
Of land sea and stars
In no time at all
He realized his shortfall
And succumbed to the mighty 109 Rheinmetall

[TURK_Enlem]

Alive Poets Society...
Horror... horror...

Hello to this fellow Turk_Enlem !
arriving this late (yet still welcome)
I've no time to delete,
this line nor complete.....

This verse may well need an addendum

[ATAG_Ezzie]

Some very good limericks!!

Snargle was flying his blenny by chance
Attacking a target deep in france
His six i was attacking from
But he saw me and dropped a bomb
Sadly now my bones are fertilising plants

[Vlerkies]

Thats it, we need a 'Dead Poets Society' thread, for linguistic banter following online events

hmmm

Highseas was killed in his hurricane
Oh mercy me! really that again?
He tries really hard
(though should stay as a bard)
He's the piloting skill of a mannequin

[ATAG_Highseas]

Hey admin... lock this thread dammit !!!

I thought it went:

Mary had a little lamb
She thought it rather silly
She threw it up into the air
and caught it by its...

I dunno...

By it's Lewis?
