Yea PJ, that was a fun fight. We any a wingman were headed back to A69 to see if we could pick a few kills up, but when I looked back he was spiraling down in flame. After a few expletives on vox, I started to try and hold you four off. A squady that had recently gone RTB turned around to try and help me, it was 2v4 for a few minutes there, but I was full of gas and couldn't get you to stall out and ya' popped me with a tater.
Looking forward to more fights like that in the future! <S>
I thought the handle in the log looked familiar. I've been doing this for coming up on 2 years now. I make no claims beyond having graduated from Baby Seal status - at least most of the time. Even so, I know enough that when I acquired your six during that fight, two things were immediately clear:
1. I needed to kill you, because if I didn't, you were going to kill me. I've seen 38 jockeys try that sort of "half-piping" with flat scissor before. Killers, not Baby Seals, do that. Indeed, I kllled Duck in the MA yesterday after such a series and an arduous battle. He had almost worked a firing angle out of it before I pulled off and went high. The end didn't come 'til later.
2. I was glad we had 4 on 2 because it let me focus without having to check my own six much. File that one under "unfair advantage" - which I'll take, but not with delusions.
Anyway, you surprised me at the end when you pulled vertical and I had just enough smash to point up. Them was good fightins'. I'll be back next week.
