LOL, this goes down in the classic escapades of online flight sims.
I was in a Lavockin-7 last night about 6 central. I ran into a P51D and P47D hitting V38. Since, I was higher, they unwisely split up to take their chances alone. They didn't know it but I had exactly 0 shells left. I followed the P51D and called for a squad mate to meet up.
While my squaddie was attempting intercept I closed to 100yds dead astern, and took a screenshot. Then, I rolled inverted and closed to the 'Maverick Position' (ala "Top Gun") flipping him off through the canopy. He stalled and spun almost all the way to the ground! :D
I filmed this, and could find out who it is, but thought I would give him a chance to admit it first. So, who were you? :cool:

I would venture a guess that it was a newbie. An experienced Mustang pilot would have stayed near the P-47 in hopes of pawning off the LA-7 to attack the slower Jug, rather then the Mustang.
The only target easier to kill than a low, slow Mustang, is a low, slow Thunderbolt :D

kinda reminds me of the story of the two hikers in the woods. Both run into a brown bear who charges them from across the field.
One starts to run but notices that his buddy is sitting down, taking off his hiking boots, and putting on his runners
Bob: "Bill, dat bear is gonna kill ya"
Bill: "Not if I can out run you!"
:D
