I was also a core beta tester for IL2:Sturmovik, IL2:Forgotten Battles and Rise of Flight...back in the day. The whole "cockpit in the bedroom" thing. I'm kinda weird...with a twist of eccentric.

Ah Shiggs....that's just BAD brotha!!
OK Gang....you all had your chance....Hey Gov. here goes....."I gave him the whole nine yards" means....when the fighter pilots came home from their missions, in WW2 , they would say that meaning they shot all 27 feet (nine yards) of belted ammo from the wing guns. The wings could only hold 27 feet of belted ammo. I just think that's such a cool saying....not many people know what or how it came about....it's pretty cool,....I think , any way. Have a great day Tard and Gang!
Hee hee Duggs I just could t let that one go.
The real answer is really cool I must admit!!!!

Yup, you went there.

I do know that one.
A plane's machine gun belt is 27 feet long. When you give the whole nine yards, you shoot the entire belt of shells.
EDIT
Shoot! I see you already answered it. But I did know - honest!
Your correct Major , but a lil late bud. Look up....way up! The wing guns in the WW2 fighters could only hold 27 feet of belted ammo, ...so ya your right brotha! Cheers eh!
