My Rumble 2001 shots

Round 1, taking off, hands shaking and swetting, here we go, woohoo!!!
   

Arriving to ring, 109's were really high and I thought my fight will end before it starts! but some reason they didn't attack, just crabbed more alt,phew!
   

109 meets its destiny
   


Round 2. Nme wasn't that high this time.

   

I meet my destiny. I think we collied and I died.
   

Round 3. After clearing nme's from the sky (excluding that one 109 that refused to come down and fight) sancho ordered to center ring.
My lucky day! Caught 2 low & fast 190's
   

Bite the bullet!
   

Results: 2 kills 1 assist 1 death.

Boy that was fun. Hopefully we'll get more events like this.
  :)

Here are some more...

Looking up at a 109:      

Engaging a 190... oops... gotta drop that tank first:
         

Dead 190. It was Corwin. Looks like I got his vertical stab on the way up. He flopped like a fish back down. At the time, I didn't know he was simply falling back to the ground.
         

Last one... Saw this when I went to the center to observe after ditching on the second frame. Took me a minute to figure out what it was.      :)

I'll give you a hint... You look at it absolutely everytime you fly, but never from this particular angle.

You're looking at the rings of the clipboard. Not sure how I got this view. Was just in the tower.

HeHe, you are correct, and you didn't even use up a LIFE LINE!   :D

It couldn't be helped, you normally wouldn't see the clipboard because of the
tower structure blocking your view.   :o
 
In order to get a full unrestricted view of the surroundings from the tower,
I made it invisible.   ;)

I hope people used F7 & F8 to get a better view, allowing slow panning in all
directions.   :)

Sounds like NASH's baby was a good time for all.   :cool:

P.S  I hope you guys didn't leave a mess from throwing your empty beer
bottles from your planes.   :eek:
