We all live in a yellow nosed submarine!

Yeah, I've put my 109 in the CV hangar as well.  No film, unfortunately.  I was actually aiming for the deck, but kinda fell into the hangar by mistake.  First try at a CV landing, that was.

I've also done an ef while balanced on my nose, right before (presumably) the airframe would've fallen ponderously upside down.

His name shows bright and clear on the film though, lol

So, why would I want to fly that plane again?

And hes a "Lammer" why?

Because his intent was not to survive or kill me.  It was to not give me the kill message.  He did not even try to run.  His plane was only missing an aleron and maby a ruder.  Don't tell me he could not at list run for home?  His intent was to not give the 202 the kill.  Do you try to dich after losing an aleron?

hmm, how do i take a screen shot from the film viewer program, and is there a way to view the films on full screen?

Yes this idea of not getting a "kill" on downed plane just because he "ditches" in friendly territory is kinda dumb...  Especially so with the new lenient ditching, errr cartwheeling and tumbling flaming destroyed wreck,  model..

I was on the 6 of a 190 the other day.  This was a guy that started the fight with a 7K alt advantage.  We were alone, at about 5K or so.  He completely disappeared.  Vanished into thin air, before my eyes.  How do people do that, unplugging the modem or something?  LOL.

Had that happen the other day.  I could not figure out how the guy disapeared.  However, when I looked at the film . . . .
