for a great 3-v-3 fight last night NW A22 of the center island on (whatever isles map that is called). One of the few reasons I still play AH at all.

For everyone else -
412th FS (Midnight, CavemanJ, SilverHK) in P-51Ds
71 Sqn (Redbeerd, Outlaw36 and either Redtopp or BatfinkV) in Spitfires (not sure if either MKV or MKIX)

Fight started at about 10K about even E states... lots of fun.

Also, to the rest of the 71 Sqn. After reviewing my films from last night, I see that I came accross quite a few of you last night. All were great fights that I enjoyed quite a bit.

Midnight
412th FS
I was one of the B24s in the pack. We heard the spit guys over the radio, sounded like one heck of a fight.

Midnight, was a great fight!

I was infact in one of the bombers for a change, so it was our CO, Redtop.

Our bomber guys flew a tight formation and the escorts did their job perfectly. Was great fun allround.

No HOs, no rams, no dweebs and no beatching. Just good old fashioned combat with honour and passion.

There is still hope for the MA while people hold this attitude to  virtual killing/death.

now if only i could get revenge for the two or three kills i suffered at the hands of your mighty mustang..... :D

all involved, these fights will continue.

To you guys as well. Was a great fight. These kinds of fights are what I fly for. Just good ole fashioned see who's standing.

Thank you for the Kind Words.  We'll meet again I'm sure.

Best of Luck Midnight and squad.

Midnight, SilverHK and CavemanJ,

 It was an AWESOME fight and I think everything you said hit it right on the head.  With a clean fight and a between all 6 players for true head-head combat, it makes flying worth it.  I know we look forward to see you guys again and no matter who ends up victorious, it will be a fight worth the outcome.
