The first two I lost on takeoff. The Sheep thought that was priceless.

I'd love to have seen the look on that jug drivers face when I went by him at 750mph in the third one.... right into the mountain in front of him.

He prolly woulda found the look on mine priceless too.
The price of Freedom is the willingness to do sudden battle, anywhere, any time and with utter recklessness...

...at home, or abroad.

First 2 to tree's before they were moved back.  Third to minus's 262 in low slow turnfight on the deck, fourth to some newbie in a b17, 1.1k out 2 pings wing-gone.  

Fifth - there is no fifth because I think temps are much better planes, and I can fly 3 for the price of 1 262.

I don't know how many I have actually lost, but I do know for a fact that I have never landed one!

Just lost 1 so far, cruisin up behind a mossie.  Suddenly the closure rate quadruples.  I think watermelon he's chopped his throttle.  I pull up to avoid and guess what, the mossies pulls up into me. 1 wing gone.

I shot down my first 262 today.  I was flying Yak9.  262 dives in on me(HO).  I yank the nose up on my trusty ole yak and at extremely close range I fire a single 37mm shell into his wingroot.  The 262 continued its dive, minus its left wing, until it smashed into the ground.  I was actually laughing when I found out I had killed a 262.
