Maybe if you had shown aggressiveness in engaging the Spits they wouldn't have had the opportunity to grab alt while you dilly-dallied above them with a 200mph speed advantage.
The entire film shows you diving, not turning, zooming some, and then making one half-hearted pass on a Spit that results in you blowing a really easy shot. You then high-tail it away once half of the guys who started below you have had a chance to grab to the same altitude (albeit still slower than you).
Not exactly post worthy, but whatever floats your boat I guess.
