One day within the last month I had that "haven't lost a 262 in awhile" feeling so I took one up.
Three flights later I had lost two 262s and a C-hog. Next hop was planning on a loosing a Spit 14 but it was late and I logged off.
Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

I love when threads go another way ...

Anyway I love flying 262s, just to ruin those kid napoleon mishuns.Very often i engage other 262s at co-alt.Those aren't bnz fights, pure tnb.

Btw i am not sad for losing 262s like some thought in this thread.It's all game:)

Think I'll just leave the 262 to those who actually know what they are doing in them:aok


We only learned by losing them the same way you did. And occasionally I still do - A few days ago Thndregg got a free 262 kill in his B24 that way ;)

And I still remember my first 262 sortie. It ended when I decided to accept a head-on by a 190A8.... :o

I killshot myself in a 262.  A mossie was attacking some friendly bombers.  I decided to help the buff pilot by getting the mossie, only problem was the mossie was between me and the buffs.  I guess I put too many rounds into the bombers.
