Disco or Bail?
« on: October 19, 2006, 11:40:05 AM »
Can anybody tell me what this was?

Disco or Bail?

Mid-War, cruising along in an F6F, saw a low 109 & F4U so I attacked. It's about 50 seconds in. I turn towards the 109, it breaks, and pull the F4U up. It's 800 out, spraying & praying, and very roped. Before I can even start a turn back, the guy just bails. Rest of the film is me just ZnB'ing the 109 down, nothing special.

Most likely bail, then again I didn't watch. Its also spelt BnZ :P

F4U prob bailed because he knew he was screwed that or he had a wierd disco. I seen disco's typically guy warps a bit, you lose sight you either get a kill for free or he just disappears

Yeah yeah yeah. I hadn't had my coffee yet :)

I figured it was a bail. That's just sad. Makes me lose faith in the MW :( I hope it stays the exception rather than the rule.

Thanks Krypto, catch you in the air @ some point.

Knowing Skeezer, there either was a reason for him to bail or he hit key accidentally. Ive never seen him back down from a fight, and certainly not in SUCH a situation... would be very strange IMHO.


When I met him he was always a good fight and a class act.

Yeah I've fought with & against him before. It was just one of those things that was so out of place it blew my mind. I had to land shortly after than and cook some dinner, and I haven't seen him to ask him about it since :(
