Normally when an invisable plane nails us its just a good bounce. But tonight i had a B17 well below me. so i engaged a 190. Bang. bang. I look back and a nik is blowing off my wing. While im floating i look around and no b17. This all happened in seconds. No way the 17 could disappear. or the nik could get on me that fast.

So... you figure.... what?
-
I've seen wrong ID's on a fair number of planes at initial ID range.
usually, it's 109's that get id'd wrong for me. But I have had b17's change to 109's, mustangs to 190's, etc.
Not real often but often enuff to make me wonder if my glasses need to be changed...

Had a mis-ID the other night myself. You are not alone. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

So, Moose, what kind of 1 day lenses do you recommend for us blind bats?
I SWEAR I had a DOT at my high 11 o clock ALL night yesterday. Hunted him for an entire sortie.
Of course, my glasses were dirty (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

I had one too....
I HO'd a F4Uc in a P51 and discovered it really was an F4Uc as he ripped my airframe apart.
Boy...I am a dweeb...I am a dweeb...I am a dweeb...I am a dweeb....

I had a similar incident on Sunday evening. I thought it was because I had a few to many (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif). In my case it was probably my own fault --- <Skernsk drools, wings over and dives on the enemy> -- I'm perfect for padding the enemy's score (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

A while back I was covering Ghosth as he landed a C47 to take over an vehicle depot and we were buzzed by what amounted to a black dot traveling at very high speed. I remarked that I would like to report a UFO (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif) . I first thought it was a far dot, but it could not have been very far away because of the angle I was looking at it from. Also, it changed course seeningly to come look at us, then flew away at about twice my speed. (Hum the X-files theme)
