Had to post this one here...
Was flying a -1 hog earlier, ended up hanging over rook base with pawz(?) after a bit things dried up so started back toward a red bar...ran into a somewhat higher 38 (me 10k? he 16-17k?). Anyway I'm always up for a 1 on 1 so go into phonebooth fighting mode since he's got E & alt. Slowly work things down to the deck...(a tiffie showed up along the way down)...reaching a point were I'm gonna lose any verticals and SA on the Tiffie is gone so when he gives me an opening I bug out to clean up retrim and get sa on tiffie...he's 1k or so back tiffie coming in so I rev into 38...he decides to take the face shot (not really a HO but real close)...gets oil so I push him hard since he gave some angles by taking shot..push him to point where I can set up a 3rd "merge"...obviously have to force things so dump nose hard looking for plane form shot (if I'm lucky) catch him coming around from vertical and light him up but we run into each other (least I collided with him on my FE)...give him a salute for a fun fight...get back a "you ramming dweeb" comment:)...
Now
1st, ramming is on your FE...I was hoping to blow him up and fly thru him or have him go under me...no problems that he pulled up into me as he kept coming around.
2nd, he's go the superior plane (in this scenario) and had total control of the fight.
3rd, he initiated the final action when he went for "face shot" earlier...had I also gone for same shot we'd of hit then.
4th, if he collided also it was on his FE also and he could have avoided...
Just amazed at some of the garbage out there, no wonder they got rid of channel one. Anyone who gets stalemated in a 38 vs hog phonebooth fight needs to go yell in the mirror :D
got the clip if anyone is curious I can post it...

Names!!
Ooops was it me? :D
My little sidenote: I dont think the 38 is that much better in a knife fight, infact both planes match up very nicely.. the 38 being the "easymode" ride of the two. If only people would fight ..
