For description of flight see "Offline Competition" boards for
week 14. One of us is certain to be starting a thread, very
soon.

"[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I was really
startled when the orders to scramble came bursting into my room.
Poor Coms Sgt.; He has to always be the one.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Normal takeoff.
Rendezvous and head for the enemy formation. Advance fighters
spotted! Remember, men: the bombers are our primary target. But
don't take any crap![/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I start in on a
flight just above the altitude of my Lightning. Then spot
another group below, and much closer. I select gun pods, and
begin to let the number 4 have it! He's smoking and I'm CLOSE! I
push the nose down, but it's too late! He's torn off my vertical
stabilizers. After a week of rudder training, I now have no
rudder.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I move in on another
group. Angry! I fire until something smoke, or goes down. my
Ailerons are gone, all I have is elevator. And I'm in a turn. I
wait till over friendly troops to bail.[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I claim 3 planes:
two of theirs, and one of ours. (Mine!)"[/font]

Nice videos Bird and Haukka ... well done !!!
Bird ... good shooting and great job getting back over the
friendly beach before you bailed out, your plane was a mess. :)
Haukka ... that 109 latched on and didn't want to let you go,
nice job getting your plane back home. :)
