Nice fight, sir. White-knuckle teeth-gritting full-flaps Hog duel on the deck. If I hadn't gotten that shot when I did I was probably dead as I barely had the gas to get home on below-max-cruise power, and the other F4U was coming in hot (and a to the green plane for showing up when he did!)
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Saxman!

That was definately a great fight, one of the best I've had in a while.  I knew I was in trouble when I didn't get you early with the CHog, as I just can't get that cinder block to fly/turn with a -1A, hehe.  By the end of the fight I was out of options.  I can get away with turning vs a -1A most of the time, but with a good stick in it I could see how it was gonna end.

The other F4U was very willing to let you RTB when he found out you were his CO, lol.  MEF4UD and I are old squadies and still enjoy winging up occasionally, thanks for "loaning" him out every now and again!

I look forward to meeting you again!

Viper, I always consider myself "available" to give folks pointers.  Just holler when you see me online, I'll almost always be willing to go...

Sounds good.  Warlock always says that MntMan taught him a lot of great pointers flying the F4.  I may just hit ya up for some practice! :aok
