On Sun24OCT04 Appox 2:30PM EST I was defending A9 from Bish coming in from A8 in a Bf109G-10. I was at 16K and noticed several cons higher then me coming in, so I decided to run toward A11 to gain more alt to fight them. A single P-51 decided to pursue me with a big E advantage. I knew my best bet was to just run flat because if I dove toward the deck the P-51 would most likely catch me and I knew better then to turn fight a 51 with a G-10. So I just RAN, but the 51 was slowly gaining on me. When the 51 got within 2.5 I noticed he started to fall back a little but he was still pursuing me so I turned toward him but was unable to get my guns on him before we merged. I was forced to go nose down in the later part of the turn to keep him from getting me as he did the same. I knew my only advantage was my rate of climb & speed, but I figured he would pursue me if I ran plus he would have had more fuel then me. So I decided to fight and started a spiraling climb when he fell in behind me. We climbed and climbed until I noticed my G-10 started to get real nasty with me, so I looked at my Alt and noticed we both were over 30K. I saw him tip his wing down and dive(don't know if he stalled or just wanted to get his E back). I then started to follow him knowing he would chase me if I did not get him first. We made a few more passes on each other never getting below 15K nor getting angle on each other. I was runing low on fuel and figured the best thing to do was RTB and hope he would not follow, which he did not.
This battle lasted over 10 minutes. I asked on channel 200 several times who it was I was fighting to no avail. I really enjoyed this fight and would like to know who it was.
