I dont see you flying much but have seen you at great altitude above the A20 I was in. I was meat hanging on a stick for you. I was waiting for the spitty (you)to dive on me but you never did. Lazy then showed up and chased you to your base and killed you in your ack. that is how I found out it was you. I call that very cautious. I extend in my A20 because it's not a spit and Im not Cobia. I also use the A20 to rope with in a furball. It works most of the time since everyone sees it as an easy kill.
ooooo.....i know the time you;re talkn about now.....i was at 16k, and came upon a hurri at about 20k. i turned away, and climbed. but i was in a f6f that time. when i hit 20k, i leveled for speed, and turned back, the hurri upon seeing me coalt, turned away, and whjen he got ner a 110, he turned into me again. not wishing to engage in a 2-1 up there, i turned away, hoping to seperate them. i never saw you down there. i was buys concentrating on the hurri, and the 110. when he got the advantage, and it looked like the 110 was incomming, i did dive for ack.
o well.........i did what i felt i needed to do. i do know he died in that, as he wasn't there when i re-upped. that was also weeks ago.
had i seen you down there, i still wouldn't have dropped....not with a hoicane, and a 110(most likely a g2, and i think it was lips... which means he'd have also ho'd) up that high. if it was definitly a spit, you're thinking of someone else, as i'm normally in a f6f.....spit when i feel it's warranted........
you've apparently not been in any of the furballs i've been in. i fly in em till i run outta ammo, parts, or fuel. hell, i was doin ground attack in a p39 a couple weeks ago....used most of my cannon on the panzer, when a p38 dropped on me. i got him to bleed most of his speed, and managed to ping him here and there......but ran outta ammo as the fight worked over the water. i kept chasin him, and turning with him, even with no ammo..........it was kinda funny really.
and you're right, i don;t get too much time to fly now that i have my own shop. i have about 10 times the work to do than when i worked for someone else. i'm actually lucky to get moe than 20 hours in a month.....i think i actually got into the 30's last tour........compared to some that fly well over 100 hours a month
