 :salute atrack  this was one cool cat. him and i hit it off immediately.  i have a few funny stories involving wayne. i was fighting a mossie that i found when i was rtb ammo. we tangled and i missed every shot i took and ran myself out of ammo. he also missed every shot he took.  so right then i break off for home and he breaks off for his base too.  i went one way he went the other. something told me it was wayne, so i pm'd him and asked and he said yeah im a mossie, are you a niki? we salute and say great fight and all that biz and about that time he says hey voodu guess what? what? he says youre about to try to land at our base and i just got shot up by yours. oh crap! haha. so i break hard and still take some base ack damage and get smoked. otw back i pass wayne again and hes smoking too. i crash out of fuel just as i get vis on my base. he ends up taking a ditch 100m from his runway. we both are laughing it up because we didnt get a single hit on each other, yet both of us are beat to hell and not getting to land. haha
