Now that's funny right there!

My bet is going to be the 190D or the P51.

Mosquito.
Sure it is slower, but disrespect is your greatest weapon  :D

Nice video work there.  Did you get any hate mail telling you it was impossible for a Mosquito to shoot down a 262?

Certainly the bomber version couldn't.

Killed two 262s in one pass.  One was low and another climbing.  Came in with smash killed the low one first.  Went vertical on a 262 that was climbing away got him also.

Used a P47M.  It's called inertia.  Gimme the MJug for that purpose.

Pretty sure one of those was me.  I was doing a pass on a formation and the drones warped back into position as I was flying through, ended up taking me out.   :noid

KI84 (3)
P38G (3)
C205 (2)
190A8 (2)
109G6
109G14
F4U1
F6F
Ki61
La7
Mossie
Me410

My favorite part is three different P-40s!   Just need one in the C model now.  :)

Id be willing to bet that over 11 years just about every plane has gotten a kill/proxy on a 262...

Probably true.  Those were just my personal stats, hence the odd 11 year time frame.  Was interesting reading other's anecdotes, so thought I'd chime in.
