Thanks "Jimbear"

Last weekend I had a friend over (Andrew)and he was in the hot seat trying out a Spitfire.  He was a newbie all the way. We were in the Med arena and we came across Jimbear who was also in a spit. I explained it was not daddog at the stick but someone new to the game. Jimbear graciously turned off his cannons to give him a fighting chance.  

After he filled him with mg holes he was kind enough to do a fly by as Andrew was ditching with smoke and oil pouring out of his cowling.

Just at the right moment I told Andrew "PULL UP! PULL UP!" to get a shot as Jimbear flew by.   Almost worked! Unfortunately Andrew had no e to avoid the lawn dart angle in his ditch.

JimBear is a member of the Devil Dog Squadron and you can expect that kind of consideration from their entire squad.

Great Group.

Hi Daddog!

Thanks for your kind words, it is always fun to fly with new people in this game. I hope he had as much fun as I did fighting in the over that beautiful med terrain.
As for that last burst he made at me going by, my thoughts were "cheeky buggar!"  
 
<S> Andrew,  I will bet the next time we meet it will be me giving the last gasp shot

Would you like me to send you a snap shot of my latest 'Do'?  Shaved my head last night, no, not cut it short, I shaved my head!
