Ok I can not tell a lie (at least I won't right now) I think that was me in the la-5. If your cv was off p36, I had been flying cap over v40 for a while when I saw you. I dropped down on you, thought I was going to eat your lunch but then you reversed. Now if this was you you must have had a few rounds left cuz on the reverse you ping my right landing gear. I started to come back for you but then noticed I only had about 30 rounds left and a little over a 1/16th of a tank of fuel. So with about 20 miles to get back A39 and a cv to avoid, I decided it was time to RTB.
By the way, with the runway in site I did run out of fuel. I was a dead stick on landing and came in a bit to hot. About half way down the runway I touched down, bounced, touched again and my right gear colapsed. I ended up spinning around on the runway and stopped within a couple of feet of the end. The whole time I was thinking that if I slid off the end you would get the kill when I ditched. Anyway real nice reverse, salute, it was a lot of fun.
