Title: OMG...even I can get air-to-air kills!
Post by: LePaul on March 18, 2008, 01:20:47 PM

Ever have those flights you wish you had the film recorder on?

As most know, Im more of a bomber or JABO kinda guy.  Since I've been away from the game a few months and just re-subscribed, I've been hauling around in a P-51B to re-earn some perk points.

So let me setup the scene for you...I'm just cruising around our airfield which had been under attack.  Looked to me like I had missed the furball and all the fun. 

Then...a C-47 appears.  I probably would not have seen him had he not opted to unload his troops.  I also see a lone 109 being busied up by a countrymen.

Again, mind you Im in a P-51B, which only has 4 .50 cal guns.  Not a lot of hitting power.

Here's the film re-editted with some tunage:  http://www.checksix.net/ponyrun.wmv  (7.2mb)

One of the very rare times I zing right, get a kill, zing left, get a kill!

(Awaits the HO TARD comments!)

WTG bomber dude.  Didnt look like a HO to me, 109 was still turning, just a good lead shot.

Nice shot!  I, like one of the other above posters, fail to kill much with the 4 x .50's on the Bravo 'stang...

Hey, what's that tune's name?  Of course I've heard it before, but can't remember it with my post St. Pattie's day hangover...
