J,
I felt really bad when looking at the logs that you had gone down to my guns and that it lowers our score as well. But when I reviewed the film it was apparent that I never saw you.
I was going in low to clear my squaddie AKShrike from the evil clutches if Sawzaw. Sawzaw was pretty much done being that there were about 8 of us shooting at him. You past between Sawzaw and myself at about 200 yds. from beneath. The snapshots show you taking a 20mm to the canopy.
Had I know you were coming through, I would have released the trigger.
Tale of the tape...

Sawzaw explodes and JDog catches a few rounds.

This kind of stuff happens. It's unfortunate...

It happens, and it's really not your fault. I didn't have the gas to really fight, I dropped in just to make the con have to work more at SA. I was going to turn for home and he just popped up, so I took a shot at him, he exploded and I was pilot wounded.
I made it back to the base, and actually landed but pinged the prop ( it happens when you do that kind of stuff blacked out lol ) so I couldn't get on a hard surface for a successful land.
In the end all good :salute

Shame on you. You are only supposed to shoot down squaddies. :D

Glad you made it back to England.
