Hey Vega,
Like Mark said, our first ramrod was a great learning experience.  Maybe we can make this a semi-regular occurence.

No.  What "meet" you talking about?

 Last night? Near A4, you were in a P-47 same as I.  I  won round one. The second time  a short while later over A4  I was entangled with a Niki and I either took a good hit from a shot gun or collided with it (heard a loud BANG), couldn't maintain speed or alt very good afterwards and I ended up wallowing in. You got the kill. I thought maybe you'd changed rides and were the Niki?

No, I wasn't the N1K, and no we haven't flown against each other, sir.

Tour 11: "westy has 0 kills and has been killed 0 times against sancho."
