Fantastic!

I wonder if they'll let me have a go in an OV-10 Bronco?  ;)

Think of it not so much as loosing a wing, but more as gaining an engine.

Now don't be harsh.
It seems to me that Bawb is a lot like the Sopwith Camel.
It wasn't very fast, couldn't climb worth a damn, and with those two guns and big rotary engine in the nose was seriously out of balance.
And, of course, that big rotary engine's torque in the hands of a novice was perfect for spinning yourself into the ground.
But if you had an experienced pilot, and the Hun came out of the sun, all he would need is a second to pull back the joystick - and no one could predict where that would take him. 
Then suddenly the Camel is on the Hun's tail.
Bawb to a Tee.

"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"
