P-47 versus Fleet
« on: February 06, 2002, 12:10:34 AM »
The ditty...

Was flying the P-47D30, 10 rockets, 2 1ks and was minding my own business heading to a base when an ack-puff woke me up.  Fleet directly below me.  At 14k, dove, extended dive brakes and dropped 2 1ks on CV.  As I'm nosing up, I figure "I wonder what 10 rockets would do to the destroyer?"  Whhhooooosh" off they go.  Just as I'm pulling up and climbing away, my left wing is shot off, so I bail.  Here's what I see from the chute...



WOW

Hell that fleet deserved it!  Almost spilled my coffee when that dang ack-puff exploded!  :p
