Ghost with a smile
I decided to visit the CT, it had 3 players in it and had a blast for about an hour. Decided to drop back in after a few hours and there were 11 flyers in there saying this could get good.
Took off toward the red flashing base… nothing here hmmm must be hidden, all of the sudden I here the ping and black smoke starts pouring. As I start to bring her around looking back hmmm nothing. Hit the Alt R hearing a six call???? There goes the wing,
As I’m to low to bail and looking at the pine tree from a 45 degree angle I said this is going to hurt.
As my eyes (screen) start to clear, I wake up in the tower, I look down and there he is…… the one that deprived me from that sensation of flight.
Normally knowing I deserved to “cough” die after making a move saying I shouldn’t have done that, I would type to the victor. But my fingers hit the keys so fast typing where were you on the ground or in the air?
He came back “in the air” I said hmm , got to see this one.
Hitting the windows button and in 5 seconds it was that French word like I been here before. It was kinda weird though I was the only one in the air, no friendly, no bogie.
I hit a new challenge in my life and said I’d like to experience that again. Taking off with cameras rolling, circling slowly getting up to about 6k, started seeing long distance contacts. Pulling up radar and nothing green “got to be bogie”, pulled her over and just as you know when the little dot gets bigger and it come into view what you up against, it disappeared.
Looked up about ten o’clock and there is another one. But this one is a little strange, it looks like a contact that is about 8 miles out and it goes by my canopy like it was 10 feet away doing Mac 4.
After seeing about 20 of the of the you are going to make me say it ufo’s I started turning back toward the field, about 5 miles out I started to set up for the approach then BAME 2 bullet holes in the shield, banking her over you here the one sound you hate - a 20MM slicing the wing.
Waiting to see the dust cloud of my bones and looking for that same French word as I see who’s name is in that old yeller type.
Waiting to see if he’d type “yup I was in the air” …nothing so I typed “real cute”.
Putting this in my memoirs of Aces High saying only that I’d like to learn that trick.
