Fighting vs the Firebirds
« on: February 12, 2002, 12:23:29 PM »
A month back or so me and a squaddie had an incredibly intensive fights vs the Firebirds. Started out a 2v4 with us having alt, but eventually we got chased towards our home base.

The Firebirds shot down one Knights who came to help, and then another one. Turned out to be a classic engagement of near equal numbers (fluctuating a little with the advantage for both sides at some time)

Finally got some private web space (or rather, a correct working password for my own home page :D) so will post the pics I promised long ago. Heh.


Furrrball! The fight has gotten low, but is by no means slow.



Who are we fighting? Better check that nose art :D.



Hey allied peasant farmboy: don't turn!


Another view of the logo: this time, the P-51 is missing some stabs :)



Nice work on the flaps, but the almighty Dora strikes hard. Notice Apar's altitude in the background.



This last chap got on me after I downed the second last P-51. I was in dire straits but my countrymen helped me out :).




Excellent fight. Firebirds.

Sorry I missed this one, particually as fights this good seem to be hard to come by in the MA at present.

9/JG54 always make for top quality opponents, kinky lederhosen nonewithstanding...

Thanks for the shots Santa.

Santa!  How were able to zoom so far away from your plane to get that angle of the P-51 ( to see it's emblem)?
Rock:  Ya see that Ensign, lighting the cigarette?
Powell: Yes Rock.
Rock: Well that's where I got it, he's my son.
Powell: Really Rock, well I'd like to meet him.
Rock:  No ya wouldn't.

All was goin well till someone threw someone threw a leather studded js out the canopy and completely obscured my view.

Always a please to come up against JG52.  Would also be nice to arrange it if possible.  Mebbe we can do a 4v4 in the DA sometime?

Von Grossenarsch.


BTW think thats me with the missing Stabs.  Will dig out a couple of good screenies and follow up.
