Gee Daddog, I had fun!
Seriously, It was a pretty even exchange last night. Wasn't it guys?
Last night you asked about the bounce, I was too busy to answer:
I'm not sure how I got to your base so much faster after we killed each other, but the Northern base was higher, about 1500'. I think so that must have helped. I flew NOE to your base, saw you climbing out, tried to stay under your nose, and then zoom climbed when I was under you. By the time I was close on your six I was inverted from the half loop, so I righted the plane since you didn't seem to know I was there. By the time I fired you were about 150 in front of me, no deflection, wings level. Both wings lit up evenly about the flap area for the entire duration of the burst, and both wings simultaneously broke off as I released the trigger. It was a most excellent and memorable bounce. Thanks for your part in it!

Hey man, this sounds bad! If our wives hear about this...
It wasn't me that was playing with you up high. Must have been someone else.
Most evenings I never hit 10K. Last night I hit about 8 or 9K in a P-38 Jabo sortie. I hit 6 or 7K in the Jug, and don't think I passed 6 K in the spit.
If you want to find me at any given time, look under 500'. If you want to stay away from me, climb over 10 K.
