There I was in my LA7. I took off 3 minutes behind the Jabo raiders to give them time for alt since my lala would run out ahead anyway. Murphy's law spawned a high pony just as I caught up with them. It dropped form 2k higher like a hawk on ducks. Six Jabo dove and scattered leaving me in a nose down turn after the fleeing pony.
For whatever reason he chose to turn 90 deg. to my airfeild from which a small gaggel of 6 had just taken off 5k below us. With great aerobatic skill the pony driver pulled up ad performed a beutifull Loop to which I followed enraptured by his skillful ACM. We both went up and over and !Wow! up and over again.......
Big beutifull loops like a roller coaster ride:rolleyes: .
And then..and thennnnn,,,he did it again. But we both stalled dropping off the top of this one, so I dropped 1 notch flaps and wep'd my self over to find him diveing away with a 1k lead. Ok I says another running pony, I'll just follow and reign him in.
With an LA7 I prefer to be 75-250D before pulling the trigger. So we run we jink a bit, pekaboo up and down some canyons and There I WAS...lined up...200D back and you remember how it sounds when the 3 bombers open up on you and all of the rounds are whizzing by, the flashing lights and so forth????
Well the rounds are passing me above, below, on each side as thick as hornets. I glance in my rear views, and wadda ya know, there's my gaggel from the feild arrayed behind me, 200D back spraying and praying at the pony now 300D in front of me.
Pony heads for the deck, and I'm going with him. Ive started thinking about following him home and joining up. My guys are still spraying and praying from behind, now whooping and hoalering over VOX. Someone oops and thinks he hit me,,,someone wishes the lala would move so he can get a better shot, and all i wanna do now is go home.
Now the pony picks the wrong moment to play scissors. We roll float and finally I pull the trigger his wing comes off, still amid a hail of gaggel fire and I dive down and away into a side canyon. I dont think that pony carcass ever hit the ground, the gaggel fire desintegrated it. I heard one "way to go bustr" some more whoops and I was out of sight around the back side of the mountain near our feild. After climbing back up over the mountain I got to watch the gaggel get squashed by 3 flights of Lancs. All six of them flew straight up behind the Lancs,,,opened up, got chopped up and made big holes in the ground spraying all the way down.
Sooooo .....There I WAS
-bustr-
