Yeah, I was in a spit 5. I didn't know I got you twice. There was quite a few spits, and Dud's P-40, so I was just trying to get them all before they had a chance to get me.
Looking forward to running into you again.

You "shot" me down on your first diving pass. I was under you and positioning to defeat the pass and you took a 120-150 off shot that got my engine. I then put the nose down and dove for the deck and landed. So, you would not have know this one because you did not get a kill message but you cost the Rooks another engine 8^).
I was kinda bummed, you got the first pass "kill", because I like those types of fights; with other plane high and me low. I find it very challenging to keep the position neutral until the top guy bleeds himself down doing the passes. It took me awhile before I learned to be more patient (read not climb up to meet them) and let the other guy come down.
The second time (first time you got kill message) you reversed on me after I pinged you on the crossing shot. You again got the one shot kill, except this time you got me, the pilot. 8^(. Was some nice shooting on your part in both those engagements.
