Kinda like that last one Batfink.
I seem to recall that happening often in Airwarrior. A guy put up a good fight, but clearly wasn't in shape for anymore.
You'd pull off and send him on his way with a 'thanks for the good fight" or something similar. Or you'd cover him back to his side of the lines.
That or they'd call 'out ammo" and that was it.
I'd forgotten about those days until I saw that last image.
It is just a game after all
