I'VE FOUGHT HIM!!
Pinged him once and saw smoke trailing from the canopy. As I tried to line up the killing shot, the smoke from his plane filled my cockpit and I found myself content to just fly lazy circles in the sky while he fled. Had to land due to a sudden onset of hunger tho.
Think I fixed myself 3 boxes of macaroni and cheese once I got back on the ground. And downed it with some gummi bears.
Go figure.
