Title: History Recreates itself
Post by: MjTalon on July 17, 2009, 05:19:54 PM

Hey all,

I had one of the best sorties in the MA this year. It happened on a routine fighter patrol of the 82nd FG in our P-40E's. Unfortunately I'm unable to post pictures due to the fact that my Film Viewer has randomly stopped working properly. I assure you those who enjoy a good fight that is a mimic of history then this film is for you.  :)


Any who, here's a brief summery of the film so when you watch it yourself you can get that tingling feeling of how the fight actually has several historic points in it. Dispite the Spit 16 and the 190A8 the rest of the film has that sort of tone. Excuse the empty chat, we use Teamspeak for voice comms.

First:

- Flight lead spots a 109 12 high
- The 109 turns out to be a very good stick. Not executing any Head Ons and using his climb rate to stay above the fight vs our P-40s.
- Gradually we begin to plot out a tactic to lure the 109 down so we can get a gun shot on him.
- After a lengthy cat and mouse game I land a good hit on his engine and the 109 disengages

- Finally, You won't believe what the name of the 109 pilot was. It was a surprise and surely to give you a flashback of the Afrika campaign!  :D

I hope everyone else enjoys this film as once we found out who the 109 was we were just in awe of how history was just reflected in that short airspace.

Enjoy P-40s myself. One thing you don't have to worry about a p40. He isn't running far. :rofl

I'd have a ball being in a 20 flight p40 mission myself!  :x
