Reminds me of a story from my early days:

SHawk blows the tail off my Ta-152... so I find myself falling backwards facing straight up. :huh  Some other enemy guy in the "horde" dives straight down to finish me off (you ever been HO'd while in reverse?). So naturally I give this guy a face full of 30mm and watch him explode before I bail. :D

One of the guys I fly with said there is a HT film on Utube and it shows a guy falling in a chute and kills a guy in his plane with his .45, I havn't seen it but he says its there!

It was a sad day when HT let you type in .ef while in the silk.

I always loved to see a guy bail out at 10K after I shot him ... watching him slowly float down ... and then seeing him on CH1 begging and pleading for someone to shoot him. I would hang around until he got to about 1K ... and then pop him.
