Didn't I hear someone whining about a gun-packing sheep shooting them in there 262 on the runway!! That has got to be a funny classic!

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.

"hmmm... i really need to check something on the web...no one is gonna catch my 262 anyway... i'll just alt-tab out for a few mins"

I read the rest of the pages while in the tower

[edit] I alt-tab'ed out to write this and guess what happened

I was flying her low around 450 MPH. A P-51 dove on me. I put it on the deck and looked back. <SMACK> Into a tree.....<G>

Whats a 262? is it in AH? Dont belive this till I see one...

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.

Lost one to compression, one to disco. Sucker can sit in the hanger for now. I'll keep the rest of my perks thank you!

Great thread though

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.
