Always a fantastic time! Definitely reached my death quota for the year.  :D

<S> Avman and apologies for the couple collisions we had. :)

That was great fun as always! Thanks for putting it on!   :salute

There's always so many collisions in these. Throw a bunch of barely flying aircraft with poor visibility close together, all manoeuvring hard. I don't think it can be helped.

1389 kills in two hours! I think my average lifespan was under 2 minutes  :rofl

<S> Spikes. No apologies needed though. It comes with the territory when flying WWI planes in a furball like that.
I was having such a good time, dying didn't matter.

I recorded most of my sorties. Most ended due to a collision.
