Named for the Red Baron himself, Chiggie von Richthofen (CvR) was a Chig Ace of Aces, single-handedly responsible for destroying multiple SA-43 squadrons as well as many seasoned pilots. He flew an advanced prototype Chig fighter, powered by Sewell Fuel, which was impervious to the cannon-fire of an SA-43. Lt. Col. McQueen personally destroyed CvR in an explosive dogfight, avenging Lieutenant Winslow's death.

Hoo-rah!

It's Chiggy von Richtoven! The rest of you should go watch Space : Above and Beyond more often :)

Click here (http://www.cyberpursuits.com/heckifiknow/saab/default.asp) and look at the movie of Chiggy if you don`t know who he is.


The question is why call him the Ace of aces? We all know that Chiggy got him self killed in one on one combat against someone in an inferior ship :D

and I thought you wanted to keep this under wraps! Looks like you got too excited eh?

   Excellent job... He is red though right? I will have to watch that episode again... When the "ahem" thing gets further along I'll try to find the time to rip some waves off the episodes (I am missing like 4 or 5 it turns out. 2 I never had and 3 got deleted somehow when I moved :( )  

   He should've been called the ace of space  hahahaaaah.

   Point was he was the biggest point scorer (highest number of kills) in the whole freaking campaign. Sorta like the Alpha1 of his day ;)

   As for him getting beat, you should try to see the episode, it's worth it! Now that's good drama people! Love, duty, hate, revenge, pride all wrapped into a 45 minute show...

   Sci-fi didn't know what a treasure they had, stupid of them not to finish the story (though for the 51st it was basicly over) I wanted to know who won the war!!!! Dammit!

Have yourselves a look at this (http://www.angelfire.com/magic/diamondgeezer/cvrvsmcqueen.avi) little beauty, if you're unsure as to Chiggy von Richotfen's role in the show (or if you liked S:AAB even slightly :))

oh, and star dragon, what's the point in keeping this under wraps? it's pretty obvious if somone was to make a S:AAB mod, he would make this one ;)

I told him I wanted to keep it a bit quiet, at least until I was confident it might actully work.
